  1. Omegabond color inconsistency issue.

    this one is not cool. i have this 11' x 4' interior sign (a diptych). assembling it and i'm walking around and i'm pretty sure the two sheets don't match at the seam. it's just different enough that this picky client will reject. i didn't use dibond because, dibond brushed metal finish is...
  2. jv3 160sp blank print

    back in september 2012 i had an issue pop up (intermittent) in which my jv3-160sp would run a print mechanically but all four heads would not fire. these are all new heads. the issue was discussed in this old thread...
  3. H700 leaking magenta/losing pressure going left

    i have an issue. (deadlines for monday and now the printer wants to act up!) my daytona (aka rastek H700) is leaking magenta heavily. i noticed that each time the head carriage goes to the left the negative pressure drops out then regains itself going back to the right. no other colors are...
  4. H700 rookie needs help (voltage/wave/set)

    i'm clicking around in my parameters and see that heads can be "disabled" (great news for a guy that hacks printers). i must have clicked the wrong button and now my voltages are the same but a "change config state' set of boxes is checked/unchecked and my "wave" is all at "0" causing my test...
  5. setting up an EFI H700/DAYTONA H700/ F1-180uv-BA

    to anyone that has this sort of printer (H650, H652's may be the same), i'm installing a daytona H700 and have the power run. everything seems fine power-wise. then i see this power supply inside the ink tank area that seems to go to the ink control board with a chord to itself. is this...

    i've acquired a fixer/upper Daytona H700. does anyone have the manuals for this printer? they would be much appreciated. thanks in advance! aa
  8. advice for transporting a daytona/rastek style printer

    i'm loading up a daytona H700 uv tomorrow on a trailer. i'll then be driving it 20 hours back to houston from indiana. of course i'll be decommissioning the printer by taking out the heads, flushing the lines, locking the carriage, etc. and then i'll be covering, cling wrapping and strapping...
  9. developing a design contract

    I'll be working on a graphic design contract over the next week and i'd like any input/wisdom that's out there concerning design fees, fab fees, deposits etc. I work in the art consulting field. And we do (unfortunately) a lot of these "legacy walls". They are graphically intensive and...
  10. cyan drop out plague

    For the last few days we’ve been having cyan drop out. It prints fine for a few hours then it won’t print for two feet until we get all kinds of dropout. It seems to get better with a pause/head clean but we have a non-functioning printer because it’s so bad. I thought I figured it out...
  11. CET print skew/stepping

    this one has me really confounded. we have this issue lately/permanently where our prints are stepping to the left about 1/8" per every two feet. the bottom and top of the print are perfectly plumb to the printer. (image attached) the encoder reader was cleaned, then replaced, the encoder...
  12. CET FK zero issues (flat y-base moving around)

    i have the used 6x10 fk512 for several month now and it's been a great machine. except for one thing that has me puzzled. my "zero" (aka flat y-base in the control panel) isn't consistent. this has been happening since our install. but recently has gone cater-wonky and i find myself watching...
  13. CET FK512 color profiles

    does anyone have some color profiles for a cmyk (no lm lc) for a CET FK512? (running onyx production house) i can have my color guy three hours away build me one mid next week or go buy an eye1 (sp?). but for now i just need to get some samples out and i am no longer running lm lc. in the...
  14. Printing on Styrene

    we've got a product that can be printed on white polystyrene or white pvc board. the margins are tight so i'd rather go styrene. i was told by my operator that the adhesion isn't very good on the styrene. that seems odd to me because styrene wouldn't strike me as a difficult surface. is...
  15. secondary tank not filling (varnish) CET FK512 ...work around?

    our varnish secondary tank light won't show "full". it's run for 5 minutes with no result. we have a spare pump on delivery but we need a quick work around. can a head on a CET FK512Z (16 head) be turned off in the firmware to allow us to get printing? we've got a lot of crucial stuff that...
  16. CET FK512 (black printing like dust)

    extreme UV ink newbie question here. we are still on and off with the new/used CET fk512. our new VW dongle seemed to scramble some parameters and that caused a few false positives when getting it a few quirks figured out. for the time being it's back to it's usual predictable self after...
  17. Newbie CET flatbed "ink prime" question

    i'm wanting to pull some new ink into the machine for a spot channel. if i unplug all the pumps that i don't want to pull/waste ink, leaving just the one single channel/pump plugged in, then hit the prime button will anything bad happen? i know that there are check valves on all the pumps...
  18. I'm entering into a partnership.

    well after a year of back and forth negotiations and buying equipment i had one of my final business agreement meetings today. looks like no red flags have come up this entire year and the partnership will be signed within the next two or three days. it will be me, and the two people that...
  19. axyz vs. multicam

    i need to purchase a large cnc (6x10 to 6x12 or larger) and i'm hoping i can get some opinions on what might be the best OEM. this machine would be used about two hours a day or less on average. bit changing not a must, mostly trimming and knocking down substrates. a tangential head would be...
  20. best price for onyx production house x10

    i have to get onyx production house for running a CET flatbed along with a few other printers (canon ipf 9000, jv3 160sp, and a jv33 clone). does anyone know of some discount sources to purchase onyx production house? i'm seeing $4700 as the "lowest" price. that's not "low". i think i can...
