if you've got dx4's (running 3 or 4 heads), you can run both solvent based and water based simultaneously out of the same printer. right now i'm running poly propylene/water and water in my 3r head position with cmyk in heads 1 and 2, and white/uv clear in head 4. the only issue i've...

lately i've noticed a puddle of ink in the black/magenta cap. figured it was just a mild clog. so i went to cleaning the line. but still nothing after a lot of cleaning. i've got a new pump here (from ebon for $45!) but don't want to put it on unless i'm sure the one i've got is dead, rather...

thanks! and we are! and... dX5 schmeeX5! you can put whatever you want in a printer and it will print it. for one, there is a youtube of a guy printing with sepiax ink, think it is a sp540? don't remember. as far as the purging... i suggest using straight solution, then going to straight...

permanent double sided adhesive? i've been using it lately on my large installs. it will rip the wood out of plywood if removed quickly but come off relatively well if pulled slowly. great tensile and shear strength but poor peel strength i guess.

i'd blast it with one of those computer cleaners from an office supply store (air in a can).

not sure on the last espanol.... but if you've got a head printing correctly, do a data ribbon position swap to see if the issue moves to the new head or stays at the badly printing head.

so busy finally turning away large projects that don't sound "fun". in the past i would be worried that something else might not be there to replace. so i'd take the job. but there is way more demand than supply at this point. good to hear that others are doing well.

hells yeah! you rule! congratulations!!!

Be very careful. Not booting meeans a possible future meltdown. Unplug and check all data calbe connections and look for leakin g ink.

...no problem... my last 12 substrates were 12 different colors of white oak and ash veneer (gray brown stain to turquoise dye)... so i just eyeball it as i go. hope all is well and it gets figured out today. i'm out of town the rest of the day.

man you are asking the wrong guy... in my 14 years of digital printing i've never had to become more than a novice to print what i use printers for.... i'm assuming it was either discussing they designer was setting the ink load in the rip to 100% or using a rip setting i've seen called "pure...

this looks very similar to the links... did you check them out?

definitely send a focused pic of the issue.

yup, that head is most definitely the problem. i've got some catalogs that have some super cheap heads, if you want me to email one.

don't know much about printing vinyl but from what i've seen here on the site this issue usually occurs because of heat setting and or material with inconsistent build. i'd do some heat tests with black only front back etc. and see what you get. also, check out these threads...

i think i looked at that once and it seemed to me that the board would have to be hard wired into the head with tiny wires to each head. as far as the arc is concerned, it seems you eliminated the slider board. did the arc just kill the cyan head (i'd suggest ebon or special color for a new...

you do have an odd problem... something that should be simply mechanical is acting more like a data issue. just to rule out any data issues, i'd do a data swap right away. attache the ribbons across the slider board to see if the head will print from a different data port. this will rule out...

i think my brain just blew a gasket.

Wilhelm Imaging Research Inc doesn't even have data on any solvent inks. it's strange how an industry that goes on about lightfastness doesn't have technical data to back it up.

i haven't looked into it too much but it looks like the new i5 (cheaper version of the i7) motherboards are smoking the x2's and are pretty cheap for tripling the speed. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2832/11
