  1. shop floors, what's your's like, what works

    the BEST coating for concrete floors is DIAMONDHARD sold by euclid chemical. (a former, long time client) they are a huge company that owns many major brands. they do home depot floors, for instance. (20 years of fork lift traffic and they look like new!) must be installed by their crews. we got...
  2. VS-540 Not Printing Test Print

    so would (hopefully) the syringe will pull all ink colours all the way to the head through just one of these lines? and i carry on until these 2 lines have ink in? Yes, in a perfect world. but, if you have luck like mine, you may have to CAREFULLY turn the small nut on each damper with...
  3. Employee side business

    4th generation? that would have to be before the invention of the brush!
  4. VS-540 Not Printing Test Print

    the best syringe comes from solventinkjet.com it is tapered, so you don't have to mess with adapters. just push in until it seals the pump is great, because it can pull until you have ink coming out, whereas, the ink can pull back between "pulls" from the syringe...
  5. Employee side business

    i am going to ask the question very few of you want to answer: didn't you learn the business working in someone else's shop & didn't they say the same thing when you went on your own?
  6. VS-540 Not Printing Test Print

    lets assume the tech did some variation of the right thing. i see 4options (1) follow broome signs procedure (only if you are confident you have,the skills to follow through & reassemble (2) pull inks through with s vacuum pump from suto parts store or amazon...
  7. pricing my Gerger Edge II and envision

    citysignshop there is a lot to be said for a machine to be able to cut accurately to the end of a 150 ft roll many friction plotters can barely cut to the end of a 6' job...
  8. VS-540 Not Printing Test Print

    if i were letting a machine sit for 6 weeks, i would fill the lines and heads with flush and clamp off the drain lines with hemostats at this point, i would order a liter of flush, using the syringe add flush to the captops till you get bored. then clamp off the drain lines and add fluid till...

    thank god they can't hang any of us for the crazy things we did when we were young (or what we did last week)
  10. pricing my Gerger Edge II and envision

    BE CAREFUL that is a ceramic print head. it is fragile like you grandmother's christmas ornaments or a tea set. AT A MINIMUM put a piece of bubble wrap under the head. many people still have the protective bracket for shipping & have seen a couple ebay people who would rent you the "transport...

  12. SP540V not printing 1 color

  13. Cyan ink won't print

    not normally just enough of a leak that it is easier to pull some air around a seal rather than pull against the resistance of the ink you can take a syringe and pull some more ink through (solvent inkjet has the best tapered syringes) or use one of these...
  14. Oce 257 white ink curing

    long term, you may be better off using ALL 3rd party ink, if the 3rd party white is needed it could be expected that the other inks will harden at the same rate as the white.
  15. Personalized stickers

    unless things have changed since we last got involved in something like this, you slso have to deal with apple & android certification before you can get it to an app store. OR deal with the joys of supporting "sideloading" your app.
  16. Oce 257 white ink curing

    i would EXPECT the inks to cure at the same rate, IF they were all from the same manufacturer. this would be part of the process of developing the ink set. it is just "luck of the draw" that they don't cure at the same rate, does your rip allow you to adjust power to the uv lamp, in advanced...
  17. VG3-540 multi sensor adjustment.

    not to state the obvious, but, reflective doesn't make the process easier. perhaps something like covering both registration marks with a small (like an address label) removable label with a hole punched in it to show the reg mark? as the sensor passes over a non-reflective area, it will be...
  18. AliExpress? dx4printheads is it legit?

    we have purchased a couple aqueous heads, and a solvent manifold, a few times MOST OF THE TIME, it works out
  19. LOOKING FOR COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES WITH FULL-COLOR 3D PRINTING.

    we all have different interests. stratasys got my attention with the ability to use carbon fibre filament to print SPRINGS. anyone who has ever made a spring by winding music wire on a lathe (Jburton?) should be impressed, or at least appreciate WHY i found this of interest...
