Yup, depends on the model, printers like the UCJV just have the ports due to sharing a 'universal' frame.

Note that the fan ducts on the back of most Mimaki printers is actually intended to blow down/into the printer, not to extract air/fumes. I think the UJF series is the main exception. Had to deal with some weirdness from people trying to strap fume extractors on the back of CJV's as a result...

If ya need room, just move one of the jfx500s closer to the wall.

When Mimaki talks about big announcements on new printers, I learning to be disappointed and/or confused. Like when they took a JV300 and put different colored plastics and a slightly modified parameter set on it and called it a DTF printer. Didn't even bother going to a modern printhead. The...

I mean, if it's not required, it can be unpaid. However, it required/expected, then the training must be paid. At least in the US. Most Flexi 'training' is step-by-step videos and some webinars. Just set them up on a trial or on a main account and let them follow along to the videos. If they...

208V UPSs aren't too bad on the used market, want something in the 2500-2700W+ range. The main draw on the machine is the suction table, the printer itself doesn't draw much otherwise. Server rack style units are easily available on eBay and can be had used for around $300-$500. You might need...

Should be in the machine setup menu, under maintenance. Covered in the user (not service) manual.

What kind of printer you needing serviced? Certified on a few models, but details are handy.

UV ink makes a great redneck pavement sealer. Just make sure it has time to adequately cure and doesn't risk getting into drainage or soaking into soil.

Vaccuforming inks are probably considered to be the replacement, which is not a bad way to do it. However, articulating heads in that particular case are a pretty good idea as you're working with known geometry. Technically speaking, it wouldn't be terribly hard to replace such a system...

With long-jetting heads, might be doable with dynamic controls to firing power. Would just require a relatively slow scan speed. That said, there are some HUGE printheads out there. Something like tilt would probably help a ton too, but overall, lots of demons to suss out.

Just dug it up on AliExpress/eBay, just a 6x 1 liter tanks, black for UV, stirrers, timer, and level alarms.

Looked into this, the trick is getting a printhead that is big enough to print a decent area, while having a small enough nozzle plate footprint to support quick, precise motions. Computational power is definitely there, as well as the kinematics and topology detection.

I mean, you can print cylinders and spheres, just use unidirectional and keep it on the shallower part of the curves.

We do prefer to have good bright lighting in our shop of inkjet horrors at least.

It's less of a lab, more of a crime scene. But instead of bodies hacked up into little bits and humans with signs of horrific experiments to give them 8 arms, it's printers.

Varnish (clear), White, Cyan, Magenta and of course, yellow and black. Going to be bypassing the bulk ink station entirely, the travel path is STUPIDLY long, it uses degas filters that are over $250 each (16 of the things) and the tanks are a monster 2-liters each for some inks and 4 for...

Over an inch, but at that point, it looked like it was badly airbrushed.

Did some Playstation 5's, those were a lot of drop. Stuff gets pretty dusty. Using LD2 mode on a UJF-6042MKII helped a bit, but it did come out well enough for the customer to like it. If using a bidirectional printer, set print to unidirectional for better results.

Bulk tanks came in from China, nice. Got stirrers on all colors, float switches/alarms, circulation timer, etc.
