Is it the same nozzle every time? Or is it one nozzle missing but every time you do a clean it moves to either the front or back of the head? If it is always in the same spot then it could be a damaged nozzle from head strike or contaminate. If it moves then it is just trash and you can keep...

Taking a guess. If it seems better uni-directional and a random banding problem bi-directional, my first guess would be shutter sticking. When you replaced the bulbs, did you notice one shutter moving more freely than the other? Had a shutter sticking open on ours the other day. Just before...

Thanks. That is close but looking for the actual material to make my own banners.

Customer just dropped off a couple of samples and wanted to know if we could print something similar. The samples are 12-13oz scrim banner material. One is neon pink and the other is neon yellow. I have done a quick google search and come up with nothing. Anyone know of a supplier that...

Also agree. Fuji Acuity or Oce Arizona with RMO. Great Flatbed with a decent Roll to Roll.

30 employees, two shifts and 52 years. Most of our people have worked for 20 years or more at API.

Might be a weird question but just wondering what you would consider average or fair pay for a press operator. We have expanded and I need to hire a new operator for our Acuity HS Flatbed. Right now I am running it (Production Manager) and it has turned into a full time job. My current press...

When a client first called and asked if we print YUPOJelly I thought it was a prank call and nearly hung up. My curiosity got the better of me and I googled it while talking to them and found out it is an actual product and seems interesting. Anyone have experience printing this UV and/or know...

Don't think it is press related. Printing with a Fuji UViStar and am having the same issue with the same blockout material from Ultraflex. The streak comes and goes throughout the roll. My operator has put on 5 different rolls of the blockout material and it shows in all. Some worse than...

You can draw a box and then click on the path of that box with the area type tool (when you click and hold on the T tool it is the second one in the drop down menu) and then you can center it inside that box and the type is constrained to that shape. Is this what you were looking for?

After printing a large full sheet (4x8) ACM single sided do you remove the protective film from the opposite side or leave it? Does it serve a purpose when installed? We print only and do not install and have recently started printing ACM for a few customers. We have been leaving the...

False alarm!! Just got off the phone with someone higher up at the recycling company and they were able to take care of the cores. Huge savings and now we have little to no waste going into landfills.

How do you dispose of your scrap vinyl and cardboard cores? Up until this last month we have rented a construction dumpster and just thrown everything in it and it was hauled off to the landfill roughly twice a month. Then I get a walk-in from a recycling company. He takes one look in our...

No, I do not feel that I am better than a tech. But like you said, a lot of problems can be fixed with a simple phone call to a tech. But, to enter the service & diagnostics menu, I need a service key. Like I said before, we have not had any issues yet. Usually if I have to call in a tech...

Our machine is still under warranty and we have not had any issues but I like to be proactive and think ahead. I am very hands own and don't like waiting a day or two for technicians. I have asked about obtaining a service key and was told to attend a class and then pay a yearly fee for the...

The Oce Arizona 550GT is the same exact press. We also recently purchased an Acuity HS and I have found it easier to search for the Arizona and you will find a ton more information. Here is a link to the manual...

Have a client asking about printing some shakerboards. At first I did not know what a shakerboard was until I googled it. They are the signs that these kids are spinning around and holding while dancing on street corners. The little info I have found points to 10mil coro but I would think...

Think I already know the answer but just making sure. I have tried printing 3 layers, cmyk-white-cmyk and still transparent. Anyway to do this other than screening a layer or laminating a perminant, removable layer? Has to be cling.

Had a 2nd shift operator try an experiment on our Neolt electric rotary trimmer the other day. He was cutting something he should not been cutting. Long story short, the rotary head is no longer in line and I have done all I can do to try and put it back in line. The only person I have been...

We buy it by the can at the local hardware. Use it to clean everything!! Had a tech in the other day using it to flush print heads and flush ink lines. Installed new ink and no problems. With solvent, it would take forever for it to print out after a flush.
