  1. Maintaining shop temps

    the older rolands are never happier than when they run 16 hrs/ day
  2. Valuejet 1204E fails to detect when out of ink

    Wow. the older machines are abandoned
  3. Maintaining shop temps

    the grease and lubricants thicken, (think of starting your car, on a 0 degree day) the electronics are happier at absurdly cold temperatures. before i was a computer consultant, i was in the commercial video business. video tape wrapped around rotating, helical scan video heads HATE the cold...
  4. Maintaining shop temps

    Victor the MP31 ink actually has a warning, that if it is stored in a lower temp room, allow ink to warm for 3 hours before printing.
  5. Maintaining shop temps

    the only problem with 50's at night is, you end up with POTENTIALLY a 22 degree swing in ink temp during the day. i am not a chemist, and have never done a viscosity test on my inks, but i am sure i make some of my own problems with the temperature range. i am concerned how my MP31 inks are...
  6. Question Double DX5 Print head troubles.

    use a lighted magnifying visor to be sure there is no hairline crack in the manifold (at least I NEED ONE to be sure) measure and order some o rings. solventinkjet often suggests cutting 1/8" off the lines when replacing the orings that sure is what it looks like! (and sounds like, from your...
  7. Composer 4.0 + USB to serial/parallel cables + Windows 10 = possible?

    you can't make the port ANYTHING you want? (you can tell we run flexi!) i am pretty sure you can do legacy "capture" commands. we have a couple omega computers. i will have to try
  8. Summa F1612 Air Compressor

    no reason you can't do either, as long as it is good, clean DRY air look in the installation manual and bebsure you give it thevpressure it requires
  9. Does anyone know a trick to print a gray image without a green tint?

    it really seems that building a few proper profiles would solve this a downloaded profile can't possibly compensate for the quirks of your printer
  10. Composer 4.0 + USB to serial/parallel cables + Windows 10 = possible?

    Attila, wouldn't it be easier to just go to ebay and get a netgear or old dlink parallel port print server and be done with it? serial we make our own problems , the usb end is a plug & play device / the serial end is as dumb as a box of rocks, you still need to know how to make the settings and...
  11. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    new white damper? the tiny filters do like to clog
  12. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    CORNHOLIO i have not had a chance to verify, this machine HAS recirculating pumps? i was wondering if they were built up with sediment (settled out pigment) and either not recirculating and all or very poorly also possible lines are clogged & at best giving poor flow? possibly time for a...
  13. Bulk Ink Systems

    we have been using jetbest from premier for about 1-1/2 years. i wish we had switched sooner
  14. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    do you "shake" your other colors. at least once a week?
  15. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    the white for my mutoh is twice the price of the other inks, but, still, printing enough to keep the lines from clogging is a strategy i would consider. FOR SURE, developing the routine of pulling the white cartridge & inverting it 3-4 times SLOWLY (not enough to make it foam) would be to your...
  16. VS-540 Not Printing White Again

    i am not sure about your machine the current generation of machines that print white have a recirculation system, to compensate for the settling i have been warned that i would regret converting one of my older machines, to print white.
  17. print/cut chrome wrap

    IN ANOTHER WEEK we will have our mutoh hybrid up, (printhead is coming in today) we aquired it about a month ago it uses MP31 inks. we can't wait to see how it's capabilities measure up perhaps we can print a few samples for you, so you can see if you would want to acquire a mutoh hybrid
  18. print/cut chrome wrap

    no, i am aware, just a thought, we have 3 gerber edges, but, use them a lot less, i wasn't sure if that effect might work for you .
  19. print/cut chrome wrap

    could you not get a similar effect with a roland bn-20 or one of the used vs300 family with white/reflective capability?
