...thanks @colin. but you have to factor in a bankruptcy 8 years a go and a divorce because my ex' was convinced that i was a mad scientist and not a business man. and i wouldn't blame her. the house is still half full of failed and successful coating machines and such, chords everywhere...

thanks,,, as far as line pressure, i've got a couple auxiliary carts mounted on the outside of the printer. the shelf they sit has a height control. if i raise the cart a bit i get more pressure, lower, a bit less. the pump loads the line in your printer with a certain weight of ink. and...

when a head adapter is clogged, you will usually see a halo of missing ink near the middle of the test pattern. there is a circular screen (much higher mesh than found in the damper). if you have very sporadic printing drop out all over the length of the print head, it's most likely not a head...

shouldn't be an issue. in fact the jets have been getting smaller over time so there is less a chance of clogging. i've been wanting to do just the thing that you are discussing with my jv3 160sp. yes, it has two white channels. but i'd rather run double cmyk, then when i want alter the...

also, if there are any spiffy tricks to get this printing to do a double cmyk print config for the black or 2 special color channels without having it set up for double cmyk that would be sweet. such as the double white channel should have the ability to run at double speed but in SS mode it...

i need to run black only on my 160sp. the problem is it works for a small file but when i do a large file it's twitchy. right now i am using a grayscale file. lots of solid blacks. color correction +25 on black. it works perfectly on small files (10mb). but on files around 200mb...

pm'd you.

i've worked with aluminum for a long time. a makita 9031 is a must have for cleaning up burs.

i don't like that water idea at all. what he was describing was the water coagulating the ink inside the head. any time you heat up resin (which is what the ink is made of), you will lower the viscosity of that material. if you did heat it up, do a double boiler in the open air with nothing...

sounds like you might have it. when you installed the pump, did you rotate the pump to a closed idle position?

it's a glycol ether. the more industrial/commercial sherwin williams' will have it. you'll recognize the smell immediately when you open it. "smells like ink!" the msds's for most solvent cleaning fluids also include butyl carbitol an extremely slow evaporating glycol ether. i've messed...

don't use the alcohol. wrong drying properties. some contain water. both which will introduce condensation, thus coagulating your ink. i use butyl cellosolve 6 parts, acetone 1 part. it's basically what your cleaning solution and ink is made of. i've gone through gallons of it, even use...

how hard it is to data swap that machine to rule out heads and "rule in" the head board/slider board or whatever mutoh calls it.

had something similar with black on my mimaki. in the end was loose ribbon cable.

just came back... this thread keeps going. i didn't mean wear torn up jeans and some douchey t-shirt with eagles and skulls on it. that's not the idea. the idea isn't to "look" young. that would be tragic. just don't be out of touch, looking back like your prime is behind you. when a...

is it just the one line going to the black? have you reverse flushed the line. occasionally a piece of rubber or something from a cart can get into the piercing needle that can restrict flow. the printer will constantly prime the line, and the cart will pull back on it a bit. you can judge...

that isn't uncommon if the printer has been sitting a good while, and maybe the caps are getting some dried ink around the edges, etc. do and ink fill or pull the damper and draw the air out. pay close attention to the resistance on the syringe and the way the membrane of the damper acts...

immerse yourself in all things current. DON'T .....BE.... OLD. listen to current music, read about current topics (keep up with all the TEDtalks, etc), dress in current clothes, get a current hair cut, study alternate religions and cultures and lifestyles, don't champion the olden days...

i've got 4 5x5 tables that i call "hover tables" similar to giant air hockey tables. like a omnidirectional lazy susan. although that set up has worked well for positioning sheets for polishing etc, my next try is to build two 5x10 aluminum rotisserie tables. so i can tilt the work toward...

if it's dx2 or dx3 heads they are crazy easy to replace and align.
