DX4 heads As a heads up, I have yet to do this. But I should note two facts here. 1. ANYTHING placed on the bottom of an utrasonic cleaner gets "beat up" at the same frequency as the solution. 2. My thoughts on this are as follows: building a 'floating" foam 'jig' that simply holds the...

I respectfully reply What truly is sad, is the loss of life in the battlefield has been significantly reduced by modern medicine. In WW2 if you lost a leg you were going to bleed to death. Not so in 2000. I'm hoping that you read this post and consider how many parents have lost their...

My ONLY fear with NMP is we used to use it to clean our urethane foam guns. (Spot on artbot) When cleaning the spray parts that if hardened your out $50...We used a crock pot to heat NMP up to 100 degrees, threw a cheapy Home Depot paint brush in there and all we recovered was the metal...

Bullet RESISTENT FILMS I Think your looking for a window tinting film known as 'security film'. Google it, there are many manufacturers, none will promise "bullet proof". It can actually stop a base ball bat or a fire axe on the first try. It's a very thick laminate with some extremely...

dx4 heads Thanks for the advice, I need all I can get. I haven't used anything other than Genuine mimaki pre wash on the heads/manifolds. After they soak a bit I will slowly run this same solution at a very low PSI "around" these heads. I favor a pump and release valve, however a syringe...

Machine is in my hands now... ALL four heads are removed and soaking the heads in genuine MIMAKI PRE WASH. (To those who don't know, you can always break the carts apart and squeze the bags to get 'a little bit more' out of them.) I'll keep you all posted on the ultrasonic cleaning if they...

Harbor Freight offers a heated version that is around $80 USD. set the heat and a quick wash with the print head floating on something that keeps the print head from becoming any where near 1-2 Millimeters...a quick wash so to speak. I can't stress this enough, if your reading this thread...

Bob and Dan Here is my two cents and I just tint windows! I've seen this type of argument before between tinters, both always stick to their guns as to how they do things and who is better...but the funny thing is both are great at what they do in their art. Don't kid yourself here, It's...

DX4, or might as well be DX$ It's out of a Mimaki jv3 130 sp2. As I have not actually recieved the machine (should have it tomorrow) I can't claim to know how bad the heads are but I couldn't beat the price. All four heads could be bad, won't know until I actually get my hands on it. That...

Nice find...Inspiring yet makes me feel like I suck at this kinda thing. Always room to grow I guess. CP

Hey all, just purchased a machine that may need moderate/severe head cleaning. There are a few machines on the market that do this with your print head removed and after doing several searches on signs101, I decided to post. If you haven't heard of 'ultra sonic' cleaning, search youtube...

Win 8 I have had nothing but bad things to say about windows 7. They want to rebrand another vista as win 8? No thank you. I believe I love my XP as it works. When it comes to computers, building them is not that hard. When a sales rep asked me to check out HP large format printers, I...

Welcome ninja I can only suggest cold beers, cold packs for bruises, and don't talk about sign club...wait, Im about to get banned! welcome anyways.

Jays, If your main business is window tint, your golden there. I've spent 21 years reaping those profits. PAINT PROTECTION FILM (PPF) is good if you can find the customer, just like residential/commercial tint. My specialty is automotive, and if your good at that you know the profits...

Can I object to the war in general, while respectively supporting our troops? With all due repsect to our troops, can somebody explain to me how this isn't a religious war? EDIT: DRUNK/loving everybody!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, as an outsider looking in, I simply feel the need to comment here. Frankly I love it when somebody comes into my area of expertice and tries to undercut me. The way I see it NO amount of cheap machinery/ FREE software keys can substitute for what you do for a living...

I'm just a window tinter, but We are in the same 'service' business. My advice "before" problems start is simply to completely undersand what the customer wants and simply place it in writing. To me it's easier to spend and extra 10-40 minutes talking about what they want, then to have a...

how's that caddy shack saying go? so? so let's party!!! (Cue the GOPHER)

Thank you all for a warm welcome! I'm going to put a bow on this post. Billct2 can attest to my knowledge of my trade, I simply want to learn from you and I'm more than Happy to tell you anything I know that can help you with my skill set. artbot is a valued asset on this forum, He is...

Cdeisel I would respond with this. Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Tempered glass expands and contracts according to heat/cold...That's why you see bubbled back glass window tint. Maybe a reason to use high quality/cast vinyl on those windows so you don't have warranty issues. I'm not...
