I read you have everything for a mimaki jf-1631? How can I get the tech manual and whatever else you have other than the crappy operation and set up manual that came with it?! Thanks!
Just wanted to update and say we moved the printer successfully ourselves and have been up and running like normal with no problems. Anyone ever need any input on how we did it successfully just let me know and I'd be happy to help.
We are looking at a new building which we will move a lot of our production to including our Mimaki JF 1631 UV flatbed printer. Has anyone had any experience moving such a machine? Does it void the warranty or anything like that? Unfortunately we no longer have the pieces that came with it that...
We printed on a bed sheet for one of our employees on our Mimaki JF-1631. He wanted a large cheap banner for his daughter's coming home from iraq. I took a picture of her in her uniform and photoshopped a decent looking image with a flag in the back and text. It didn't bleed through and actually...
Hello from Orlando!
We've had our JF-1631 for about 2-3 months now. We have replaced all but one ink cartridge since the initial set up which left us a little less than half of each cartridge. We are running 2 whites and have problems with the white staying at 100% firing. Even during printing...
I want to back up Mspec's idea.. reverse print so the plexi itself protects the ink.
We pre-treat lexan for reverse print so the UV ink sticks better but do not after coat it in any way. Not sure how well UV ink sticks to plexi as we have not done it before. But the Sericol ze-1000 adhesion...
OK.. just want to let everyone know what we've done. Hopefully it helps others out.
We bought Sericol ZE-1000 Adhesion Promoter at a whopping $50 for a 1 liter container! We coated the lexan per the directions (not included with the order but found on the internet.. thank the gods for google...
We deal with the Orlando office here for our Multicam 3000 which we've had for about 6 months and we've gotten crappy support as well. We have problems with the knife bit making notches on corners and not rounding them correctly. They blamed it on our art department not setting up the files...
you are printing on acrylic with the Sericol adhesion promoter.. have you or anyone else used it on polycarb or polystyrene? I was lead to believe it would not work and the UV ink should be able to cure directly to the lexan easily at low light level. I've tried low one lamp, standard one lamp...
Sounds like something that might work. Thanks. I see some issues that might arise laminating an optically clear adhesive between the vinyl and lexan though.. it would have to be perfect. No dust, bubbles or anything that would show a defect. Plus Mimaki says it's an issue with the adhesive...
Not for that use. We are an OEM label / decal supplier. Kinda like " Warning do not put your hand in the lawn mover blade why engine is running"
Back printing on lexan because of the obvious uv protection of lexan. They are decals which are stuck on whatever the client wants with 3M adhesive.
We print Metalphoto, lexan and vinyl decals. Have been in business over 30 years. Our website is www.cmpginc.com. We're glad to be a part of this site and hope to learn from and hopefully help others on here.
Hello Everyone:
We are the proud owners of a Mimaki JF-1631 UV flat bed printer. We have had the machine for about two months and for our lives cannot get anything to withstand ANY brand or type of transfer adhesive. Meaning we back print on say HP12W Lexan apply Transfer adhesive to it and...
