  2. Attention all newbies

    I agree with what Fred said above: "...While I was developing though, I would read all the trade magazines from cover to cover and I would bore my friends by constantly studying existing signs ... What do I like about this one? What do I not like about that one? How was that one made and how...

  5. JV33-bad print head?

    ordered a new "new" damper. The first had about 2cc of black ink already in it. Thanks for the advice.
  6. JV33-bad print head?

    Just received the replacement damper. Is it normal for a new damper to have ink (black) already in it? Do the parts get pressure tested before they are sold or something like that? I'm hesitant to put this part in...
  7. JV33-bad print head?

    I first changed the cap top since I happened to have an extra on hand. I have ordered a replacement damper to replace the one that bulges out on the side. Not sure what caused the bulge; we run OEM inks on all printers and do not have a bulk ink system (yet.) This particular JV33 is about 3 yrs...
  8. JV33-bad print head?

    the corresponding damper has a bulge on the side unlike any of the other dampers. Makes me think that's where the problem emanates. Can that single part be replaced, or is there more to it than that?
  9. JV33-bad print head?

    I have been having magenta ink droplets on the first few passes of each print. Directly after cleaning, the head looks perfect...a few minutes later drops a magenta start to form. I can see it happen when the head is moved away from the capping station to the far side of the platen with the...
  10. Photoshop technique

    Wonder if you could layer copies of an image in psd, turn them into smart objects and apply glowing edges to each with different values and put exposure adjustment layers on each layer with different values and then experiment with layer blend modes to get the same look in the case that you have...
  11. MBIS-2 Mimaki's bulk ink system

    It seems like the change would only be worth the effort if it involves 3rd party inks, at which point the savings would be substantial for us as we are running 5 jv33s' 24hrs/day. I've read equal amounts of threads detailing the pros and cons of 3rd party products and I feel like it would have a...

    does anyone have instructions for replacing the pump for a JV33?
  13. MBIS-2 Mimaki's bulk ink system

    Has anyone here tried using a Bulk Ink System on multiple printers simultaneously? Could a manifold be placed in the lines that would split the supply to two JV33's?
  14. JV33-130 test draw has some "M" in the "C" area

    replaced the cap top and things look a little better, but still have some ink migration from magenta to where the cyan should print in the test draw. ...there were a few head scrapes prior to this issue. I don't see any damage under the print head though. How can you judge the state of dampers...
  15. JV-33 Nozzle Test ?? and head issues ...

    I try to keep the perimeter of the head and capping station clean so the printer can clean itself well. If many nozzles are out in the test draw at the beginning of a shift we do a soft clean and test draw again. If there are more than 5 missing we do a normal clean and then hard if its still...
  16. JV33-130 test draw has some "M" in the "C" area

    replaced the cap head and so far everything looks good.
  17. JV33-130 test draw has some "M" in the "C" area

  18. JV33-130 test draw has some "M" in the "C" area

    JV33-130 test draw has some magenta in the cyan area. What does that indicate? Can someone please direct me to a thread about this? I am pretty sure this issue has been addressed here, but I have not been able to find it. Thanks, Mike
  19. Cutting in order

    Pat is correct; if your rip doesn't automatically sort the cut order, then it is cutting in the order of creation. Even though your prints may already be on vinyl, you can still make a new file by cutting and pasting. The easiest way is to save a copy; have both open and then copy from the...
