Question for those of you who have the AccuCure UV liquid coaters or any other similar machines http://www.neschenbrands.com/websites/sealbrands/neschen.nsf/htmlalias/lcsaccucure60uv&80uv so we don't have to waste too much time finding out settings for materials, anyone willing to tell us...

We've done hundreds of prints on plexi, glass, etc and you HAVE to cut it down before printing. You will need an adhesive bonding agent and triangle does make some good ones, but other than that clean it really, really well and of course make sure you let it outgas without the protective paper...

What about the new Vu? Never really like Vu's much but d*mn that if the new one lives up to it's hype, that's ridiculously fast. Pretty much looking at what happens at SGIA before trading in our machines for either the HP's or new Gandi's but if the price is right, man that VU or new HP would...

How and where do you get prints on your banners? We typically wear cotton to let our hands breath some but we also wear the latex ones alot if you want to be ultrasensitve about oils. With no gloves, typically we only hold last 1" of the banner roll to put it on the machines, plus if you web...

We've had our JV5's for a while now and love it but it does have it's pros and cons. But first my two cents. Most issues with machines come down to users and suppliers not training the users correctly. I firmly believe that most lower ranged machines do not get enough training to their users...

Everything is pretty much determined in Onxy and profiles in regards to densities, etc. You only have the option go from low to high lamp settings in the GUI and you can go from high quality to normal to billboard mode. And then in the rip you can make a setting for a 6 x 3 billboard mode...

Mike, Yeah, you could be right on the belt drive system which is why I am considering selling the 9840's and getting the new Jeti. The 9840's are really good machine, don't get me wrong if you use them correctly, just need to lose some of that effect at the higher speeds, etc. Heck, the...

Also, here is a good article back a few years regarding this effect http://www.oce-dgs.com/PrinterSupport/CS7xxx_Customer/Documentation/CS707x%20IS%20technical%20Info%20Bulletin%20dec-2005.pdf And it really could come down to the speed we are running these jobs at and a few other factors...

Well first, most of the samples you/we get from manufacturers are produced in high quality mode on unidirectional or high quality at bidirectional. Well, see that's the problem :) The "top" people profiled our machines for top color gamut and we were not even thinking about the density of the...

See unfortunately that's not altogether true, because with UV inks you have to obviously put down all the ink possible to gain a large color gamut but you have to find the happy medium of bringing back the ink so you don't get lawnmower striping running bi-directional. When you are pumping up...

Does anyone have a good contact, really good contact or knowledge of how to properly profile inks for UV printers? Thank you,

Was at a show recently and someone was talking about oils, fingerprints, etc on flatbed prints and we were discussing how we get rid of them. Curious to see what others do...of course we all wear gloves here but we normally clean everything that is not foamcore related with denatured...

Well with the JV5 I believe it is different because there are two cartridges per color as a backup system and you are told once the one cartridge is "empty" and the red light is blinking you have a about a day to replace it, if not sooner because if you don't, you can introduce air into the...

Apologize for posting this in two places, but didn't know which was better: We are the kind of shop that really wants to make sure everything is going right and we are getting the most for our money, so everytime we have to replace inks in our machines, we take apart the cartridges to see what...

The one thing we were just taught recently is make sure your graphics are lined up perfectly. How do you do this? Well, not the way we were doing it which was using the material itself. What Mimaki suggested was always making sure to put on crop marks or an outline line on all your prints and...

Hey all, Anyone have any experience cutting magnet material with your plotter? We have a Mimaki CG-160FX and was just going to use our 0005 blade with .75 offset from clean cut blades but didn't know if there was a specific way to do it or not? Thanks,

SignManiac, Do NOT use solvent inks with solvent prints or UV inks...you only want to use water based lams with these types of products. Plus it's much less toxic. Yeah, I was wondering about the flat UV coaters and how those worked with everything because we were thinking about getting...

Yeah, that is nooo good at all and you should NOT be having those issues at all. Our worst bi-directional does not look even like that. You should easily be able to run bi-directional with both lamps (what they recommend) and have really good looking prints. We only run the one lamp when we...

We have found that the lawnmower effect will disappear obviously with uni-directional but you need to also make sure lamps are at the right setting. We have played around with ours a ton and found that if you only use one lamp, like user side, it will produce a nice print and if you just use...

We use ClearShield original for most of our UV prints (couple 9840's) but the one thing we have noticed and talked to ClearStar about is on some substrates the liquid will actually "soften" the ink and pull the graphic off the substrate easily. Has anyone played around with different liquid...
