best of luck! :toasting:

aye, especially in the winter with weather like we're having... the first (and last) time I didn't take the time to do so, I came back to a frozen pile of broken tubes in the bottom of the sign. at least you got to take the face back to your shop to work on. a college we do work for has...

:Welcome::signs101: Same with perforated vinyl, one-way privacy film only works when there is low-light on the side of the person who is doing the viewing and does not want to be seen. Perf isn't that great for up-close viewing, go with a frosted vinyl and design a cool halftone pattern...

pics or it never happened... swapping printhead was extreme... most likely, you just need to clean your printer. capping station, wiper blade, wiper blade housing, sides of printheads (especially the backside you never see), clean it all...every week.

before you do, the platform is worth a trial. Go buy one from M-nar-d's, keep your receipt, do your install, and return it. Highly recommend the "M-word" for this, as the only reason they have so many locations is because they literally take years to pay their contractors... well, only the...

ummm. nothing against Lord's adhesive, which I highly recommend for bonding aluminum, BUT I don't think people are reading much into what you're proposing here..... correct me if I'm wrong, but: 50lbs-worth of .25" aluminum faces, "trimmed" with 2" aluminum returns, mounted to square aluminum...

+1 had me (175lb) and my assistant (240lb, easily) working on one at the same time and it only gave us an uneasy feeling when we both wound-up standing in the center at about ~15' extension and it started to flex but luckily it never actually started bending before we both took a quick-step to...

machine is too old? more like he's too new and hasn't a clue. old machines should be their bread&butter. are these dx4 head manifolds? If I remember correctly, I believe there's tiny O-rings between the manifold and where it makes contact with the head that you should be careful not to lose.

search feature comes in handy on these forums, but i'll hold your hand: s101: mimaki manuals

:Welcome::signs101: from wisconsin! congrats on the replacement! ...i still remember my first time :) I don't think its a stolen machine thing, its a proprietary thing. OEM makes them money, service techs keep their dirty little secrets, and 3rd parties make it harder for companies to recoup...

did you check the encoder strip & remove the encoder sensor to inspect the lenses? dust&debris could have been knocked loose in transit. is that overspray in the test print? yikes i assume you gave the machine a full cleaning-over? printer sits for that long, some gunked-up ink could be...

caldera doesn't have a color replacement tool? In onyx, I've always been able to eyedropper colors in the rip and manually enter new cmyk values, if I knew it wouldn't also affect another element in my file such as gradients & images. I've never used caldera, but appears your rip version...

Specialty color from 3M, "Caramel" Transluscent, 3630-2828 3M website has listed as "available", which should usually means my ability to order a roll w/o requiring the 5roll minimum on custom colors, but none of my suppliers have responded with good news (yet). anyone have a line on some? I...

I would politely tell the inspector that your insurance doesn't cover non-employee use of company equipment, and you could lose your job if you made any exceptions. We pay them "inspection fees" on top of the permit fees & tax dollars they're already ripping from our hands, they don't pay us...

you're new on the topic, yet you want to invest $10k into it as a business? research more. go to shows, where you can see the equipment you intend to buy. Buy it in-person and from someone somewhat local, that you can rely on to service the machine & buy supplies from. ...they will also have...

+1 call your supplier. they definitely want to keep you happy. Fellers used to send me as many chips as I wanted/needed when I first converted over from OEM to Bordeaux, because random chips would expire shortly after delivery. wait... printer degrades chip CC-count by amount fired/drawn...

stinger coroplast? oooooooo, i get it, honeyCOMB! hah. "Samsonite! I was waaaay off"

you can buy new chips to make use of em, or buy resettable chips, but will take observation of your actual levels to avoid having the opposite problem. as far as your machine goes, its most likely a worn trigger that feels for ink inside of the bag inside of the print cartridge. once the bag...

...still never heard of it, but I'm also inclined to believe that they want sandblasting mask.

they're 7yr+ vinyls when applied to clean&flat surfaces... this does not include rivots. 5600 > adhesion, 5100 > removeability, both on the same level but Oracal will always be less expensive. both will tent over rivots, obnoxiously, just fine. ...just as long as your outline doesn't...
