Of course the quality, but recently we had a tech tell us that high speed mode wears the printer out...I think he may have been talking about the encoder strip.
Right now we are ordering Orajet 3641 from Fellers for .18 sq ft. +free shipping on $100+ orders which is easy to get to.
This stuff is actually pretty decent for the price.
And not saying that it is all we use..(in case customers or competitors are looking)
Anyone know of any cheaper...
no one has ever had a printer or head fail using factory inks I guess.
When a thousand dollar part fails we naturally look for something that caused it other than our poor maintenance habits
Yeah there are some extremes I guess and fly by night companies but the big names are big names for a...
But wouldn't any reputable dealer be able to match viscosity with the printer they are selling it for. I'm no scientist but I'd think it would be an easy thing to copy
You hear about it all the time people swear by whichever side they are on.
My thought is the filter on the dampers would prevent any crap from your cheap inks from going into the heads in the first place.
You may have to replace them sooner but how does 3rd party ink ruin your heads...
I know its been asked a million times probably, but how long does it last on glossy vinyl and/or banner material.
I haven't seen any come back...
:thankyou:
make as many panels sized that you can handle (lay down successfully) with a half inch overlap. when done trim the overlap with a sharp blade so there is only a hair if overlap, like 1/16'' or even none...I doubt the width of the blade will shine that brightly up on the side of a building
now don't quote me on this but...at my old shop we got got our mutoh going by sucking ink into the dampers using a large animal syringe, minus the needle(dirt cheap at farm supply store and fits dampers perfectly)...if you have ink in the dampers, you could probably try sucking from the drain...
We have a graphtec 8000...since we got it working good I can cut even small letters at full speed with no trouble weeding whatsoever..not even the tiniest "I" dot gets past us.
Why not run full speed all the time? Other than to let the production guys take a break...
So is there a horrible...
I'll tell you what you want to hear...at the last place I worked we bought some cheap crapper from ebay for 4-500 came with flexi-starter so you could cut with it...I think it was seiki tech...
We bought it to take some load off the main graphtec plotter..
Yeah it was terrible, made an awful...
Cause we just got our new printer lol.
Actually we are in a semi-rural area and there is a grocery distribution center that we do have an "in" with...good ol boy stuff any whatnot. It supplies this area with these types of things...but using legitimate poster paper is a good idea...the opacity...
