I'm hiking the Long Trail in August and this is what I will be using. Keeps the ticks off too!

I don't have any experience with the primer on that machine but if someone told me I needed to purchase an almost $4000 print head every 3-4 months I would be furious. There are 3 categories of print head the way I see it. 1. HP latex type heads that are considered a consumable and are only...

You must not have done all of the head alignments because that is classic misalignment. You need to go into the service menu and run the Bias, Horizontal, Vertical and Bi-directional default and then in user mode run the bi-directional alignment.

I would agree. If you can pull from the cap tubes, they are fine. It has to be the pump especially if ink is in the dampers already which it sounds like the case.

I can never remember without one right in front of me but there should be an embossed arrow in the black plastic on the pump that points to the direction the in k should flow. Sometimes there are these extra little nozzles on the pump that need to be covered with a stopper. If the new pump...

I remember the first time my boss asked me to figure out how to print and cut on a Mimaki cutter 10 years ago and it took me multiple days to figure it out. We all start somewhere!

The offset I am talking about is the blade offset. It should be on the box the blade came in. You just set that setting to whatever the box says. Usually for a 45 degree blade it is 0.30mm. But I think you are talking about the offset of the cut to the print. That will be fixed by doing the...

This is a perfect example of good internet security practices. I always tell people that they don't need a fancy antivirus if they practice good internet skepticism. I haven't used an antivirus except for the built in one from Microsoft for about 20 years. Pretty much any email asking you to...

The software you use has nothing to do with cut quality (in some very rare cases it does but for most it doesn't matter). Every cutter program just sends the cut file to the cutter. If you are having cut quality issues you need to focus on the cutter itself. Is the blade worn down or does it...

If there is ink flowing through the waste tubes during a cleaning cycle you should be getting at least some nozzles to fire. If nothing at all fires, then something is wrong electronically.

Get a multimeter and set it to the continuity setting. Then hold the pins on each side of the fuse. If it beeps, the fuse is good. If it doesn't, the fuse is bad. The fuses you want to check on the SP300 are F2 and F3 on the main board. They will be labeled. You can sometimes find a cheaper...

In 10 years of being a tech I have never once had a sub tank or one of the valves be the problem. That's not to say it couldn't fail but in my experience, when you are having issues getting ink to the head it's an air leak somewhere or some other kind of issue like an empty ink cartridge that...

If the tubes are clear from clogs and you can see ink flowing through the waste lines when running a cleaning cycle, unfortunately the above post is probably correct and a fuse was blown.

They are rated pretty much the same as solvent inks which is 3 years outdoor without laminate. Depending on how much sun it gets it can last much longer. We made some parking signs on aluminium without lam, spray or film, with our demo JFX200 about 4 years ago and they have been facing south for...

I see this all the time. Your original issue was probably that your cap tops are clogged or just worn out. So you replace the head thinking it's the head but it was really just a bad seal between the head and cap top. So when you put the new head in, the bad cap tops still don't seal and so no...

You should take a look at 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as well. They are specifically designed to get the best response times.

Usually those marks are either inkcicles building up on the bottom of the head, a partially clogged nozzle or two, or the head and/or dampers are failing. In your case since they are so small I would guess partially clogged nozzle or inkcicle. Basically you just want to clean the bottom of the...

I would politely decline and suggest he use an online sign maker who's reputation will not be in jeopardy. That being said, he could have total standing to be upset with the other company but he could just be one of those customers who is always the victim and put a sign up about you not helping...

Good suggestions above. I would say the quickest way is to create a rounded rectangle and then make the stroke as big as you want and then outline strokes. Since strokes are designated by points it might be hard to get an exact thickness. in that case, I would just do the offset path method. It...

The VJ628 is actually a Mutoh printer branded as Sawgrass and uses the Sawgrass inks. I can't really tell you about the inks but the printer is solid. A lot of people run Mutoh 1624Ws, 1638X, and 2638 printers for dye sublimation and these are the big production machines. The reason I bring...
