if you put dye inks in any of these printers (mimaki, roland, mutoh) the image quality would be outstanding. you will never get the intense vibrant color with pigmented inks, they are perfectly transparent so they don't let the light transmit back from the white substrate. and even comparing...

i can't imagine having a printer that can't print on flat stock. hp's roll only. but i recently saw on the triangle website that there no biosolvent ink has increased uv fade resistance over standard solvent inks (it's protein, try getting a petrified buy off of your car hood). it's...

thanks for all the advice. waking up to a computer on a rush order weekend that seems to be acting up is not a good feeling. i will do a mem check first. strangely at about 2:00am the computer started acting fine (after it was off for a while, very suspicious). maybe it's a bad board, memory...

starting to think that there is something seriously wrong with my computer. photoshop freezes on image size in cs3, cs4, and cs5. and i just put 8 gigs of top of the line memory in it (was blue screening a few weeks back). i've downsampled to 100dpi. now the file is only 4.6 gigs and it's...

it's photoshop. the file format .psb allows for 300,000 x 3000,000 pixels. i'd think it'd take a pretty fast pc to work on a file of that size. 8 gigs of ram an ssd scratch and quad core will not cut it. time for a maxed out i7, maybe a raid 0 array for saving and a much bigger ssd scratch...

thanks guys! i've got to do something, the computer just can't hack it. it's a maxed out quad core xps (even has a ssd scratch drive). i'm gonna start at 100 and see if it will speed up to bearable. and then drop to the 70's if that doesn't do it. i'm sure it will look fine.

hey sign101ers! i'm doing a big wall wrap that is choking my computer. ...or else something is just wrong with the computer. i've worked on larger gigabyte files than this but maybe it's just the dimensions that is slowing it down. short of a weekend upgrade (this is a rush job). i'm...

first one, use lower case "L" and connect the top and bottom. don't worry if it really has a readability. trying to make it spell something just isn't rock and roll. (think of the toyota, mercedes, etc, are shapes that represent a brand. let your logo do that.)

i can't speak for the vs640, but on my 160sp, setting it ti white ink set causes the entire printer to do a few more auto cleans over the day. so it not only purges white frequently, it purges all colors frequently. doesn't your model have white ink recycling (what's nice is the 160sp can...

i use straight butyl cellosolve for removing adhesive from delicate things. has no cutting power at all. but will turn adhesive in to little rubber boogers that can easily be wiped away.

i don't know what omega is. but,... see if you have a save as ".psb" for photoshop. that file format even though limited a bit for filters and such is unlimited for size. also the omega itself maybe limiting your export. in that case, split the file in two pieces and paste them into a new...

here's a slide show of some installs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/alldredge/sets/72157625996878187/show/ and here's my projects queue. http://www.flickr.com/photos/alldredge/sets/

printed beautifully with a coating of cab. will mess around with adhesion experiments tomorrow.

well, i've got to spray a bunch of clear today. i'm going to coat some of the 8.5x11 samples. triangle ink prints quite nicely on two medium coats of SW cab. i'd like to figure out a better clear precoat. the cab works decent but not great. does anyone know of some clear solvent receptive...

i've got a take up real on my jv3 160sp that will never be used. most likely they are compatible.

wait, i just went to the website and there's this video of them screen printing ceramic ink on some water slide media. i bet that i could use the stuff for screen printing. and if not, i could at least coat it myself with a receptive coating. coating solvent over gelatin is not an option...

the lasertran material prints decent (extremely matte surface). the beldecal material prints horribly. it has a dense gelatin coating on it. the properties of the beldecal media are really nice (very thin, very glossy, extremely thin). also the bel is the only one that comes available on a...

your answer is over my head. sorry... i'm wanting to use water slide decal media (roll) but not use water based ink (thus the need to seal it with lacquer). is there a solvent ink compatible water slide media?

bump

too bad the dx5 can't isolate the inks from getting contaminated. with the jv3/dx4 i've put a "special waste" bottle at the end of the double white/fourth head. at the end of a few days you just squirt the perfectly clean white back into the white cart'.
