  2. Jetrix 2513RQ and CET XPress FK512

    Spectra Q-class heads were the first generation grayscale heads, but for some reason others pulled them from their designs due to continual clogging issues. Don't see alot of Xaar heads out there right now, too. To be fair - there are a gajillion things that can cause head clogging - but...
  3. Jetrix 2513RQ and CET XPress FK512

    Am in discussions with Oldham (master distributor) about the Jetrix. Very well built machine, but they have no clue how to market or sell this thing in the US. Chose the wrong distributor and are pretty proud of asking price. I like the design and the prints looked great. Neat thing is the...

    Just a polling of opinions from those of you that utilize these services... What are the attributes that you look for when searching and settling on a wholesale print provider. I don't need individual recommendations - such as Merritt - I know the merchants here and Merritt has a solid...
  5. Using copyrighted songs in videos for your business..

    From a voice with experience... I wrote the words to a Cub Scout song called "Do Your Best" to the tune of "Be Our Guest" from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. One of our parents posted it on YouTube and it took about three months for our Pack to get the first lawyer letter. The video was pulled...
  6. Thoughts about Mentoring newbies...

    Newbie I have to agree with Fred. I have been in graphic arts industries from screenprint and offset litho and now into digital inkjet for over 10 years. I have a very good relationship with a nice network of varying print providers in the general Charlotte area. I have to agree, to a point...
  7. uv ink adhesion?

    Melamine For most UV ink sets - Melamine is a no-go. Lack of surface tension for inks to adhere to. Only machine/ink combo I can think that might be successful would be a Durst Rho 600 or newer. Don't think there is any great new ink set coming from the major ink boys to address this - but you...
  8. uv ink adhesion?

    Also be aware that - like file size vs. resolution of scanned images - you can get one thing but will sacrifice another. In this case - there is no ONE UV ink that will print, adhere, be flexible, withstand cutting AND give accurate color. You need to decide what key materials you will be...
  9. Questions

    Don't know if anyone will find this useful, but I am going to try to attach a series of questions I bridled together to ask any manufacturer before buying a UV printer. I put it together when I worked for DuPont selling Cromaprint 22Uv systems. Pulled the info from a bunch of sources and...
  10. What to buy?

    UV printer I used to sell Cromaprint 22UV systems for DuPont here in the Southeast. One of my jobs before moving into sales was as Technical Support Manager and we did alot of research on EVERY machine in the field at the time. I have a chart that breaks down every single printer characteristic...

  15. Newbie with basic question

    Generally when you build something its a good idea to have a planar drawing so your craftsmen aren't "throwing things together". I figured if someone here had already designed something that was working and was robust that it would save me the time of having to answer 30 questions from the...
