+1 I've had to replace a couple of main boards after my attempts at cleaning heads created a short that blew a fuse on the main board.

Fluid dynamics at the picoliter level are a strange animal. This is why inks are formulated for certain print heads. Thermal/bubblejet heads like the HP and Canon printers use are different than the piezo heads used in Epson/Mutoh/Roland/Mimaki. For instance, the sepiax inks designed for the...

I've been using godaddy. I was having some issues with load speed on some wordpress sites, but they migrated me to a new server free of charge and it's all good again.

At one point Roland was the only one with a 12 ink printer. There was some giclee guys who created a rip that could make use of all 12 channels and created some very unique inksets for it. http://www.americaninkjetsystems.com/symphonic_evolution_giclee_and_.html In the end a roland is just...

There's two levels of giclee out there. Decorative art and fine art. Decorative art, no problem creating it with a solvent printer. Fine art, archival quality is another matter. IMHO it's not worth going after the fine art side. It's a real specialty niche and if you have to ask what's...

Scratch off coatings can be applied with a screen print process as well. It's usually more cost effective on smaller runs.

Are those the ones that have a black coating on the side? I picked up a new utility blade and it had a black coating on on the sides of the blade (not on the actual sharpened area). It seemed to work better with foamcore and didn't grab the foam as much. I assumed it was some kind of teflon.

Aaah yes, I remember now. I use wasatch and it's a feature I can use if I upgrade to their latest version. From what I've been told about it, it's kind of useless. I can see it destroying sheets as once you cut through the backing the sheet loses all it's structural rigidity. On a flatbed...

I don't even know what flex cut is.

Geez I had no idea it was such a secret. Glad to hear you guys will find it useful. I have precious few clients who send files in that format. I can't even remember where I picked it up from or I'd credit the original source.

You need to flatten out the media transport path so it doesn't drape over the front and rear of the machine. I suspect your media is doing the same thing mine was with thicker materials and it's buckling and causing the media to rise up between the feed wheels where the knife makes contact as...

Go down to your local hydroponic store and ask the hippy behind the counter to show you their selection of carbon filters and inline duct fans.

Just stay away from abobe flash. He's the homeless guy who lives under the adobe bridge.

I don't mind when people embed files in word docs anymore. The new docx format is just a glorified .zip file. I just change the extension from docx to zip and decompress the file and grab the original file from the folder it creates when it decompresses. I don't even have to open word.

I'd let her dig through my trash for $10. Hell, I'd even let her take the whole bag.

The best book I've ever read on the subject was the manual that came with my first profiling application (picto's colorsynergy). Of course it's the only book I've read on the subject and it was a very dry read. It took three times through it from cover to cover and the majority of topics aren't...

I've done tons of unhemmed banners. As long as there's no heavy coverage that cause the vinyl to curl or you're using a vinyl that lays flat I think they look better than a taped hem that tends to pucker when rolled up. In a lot of cases The customer doesn't even want grommets so I'll just...

I had about $3500 worth of apple stock when it was trading around $7 a share. I sold it a few months later when it hit $35 a share...... Doh!:banghead:

Tough to tell from the photo seeing as how it's so bad. It looks more deflected than clogged. Is it a genuine Mimaki head? Are you using mimaki inks? If so what kind?
