  2. COMPRESS UV 600s / Mutoh RJ 900 X head problem

    another printing issue I remember fixing was the data cable to the printhead. Check for ink/damage to it. I had to swap mine out.
  3. COMPRESS UV 600s / Mutoh RJ 900 X head problem

    Another victim of those compress UV printers. ouch. I feel for you, we had the 1200. It was down and inop 75% of the year we had it. It's been a few years but I seem to remember having similar problems and changing out the dampers to fix it. I also remember certain 3rd party inks not...

    Sorry, no I don't. I feel for you though. That machine was never reliable. It was sold back to Coldesi after a year.
  7. Advice for billboard style sign materials

    Thanks! Yeah I was looking at AlumaCorr and Alumalite as well. I just wasn't sure about the flutes being strong enough. My Grimco rep is looking into ordering NuAlum sheets for me. Hopefully that pans out since it looks to be the same thing as Lusterboard but if not, then we'll probably do...
  8. Advice for billboard style sign materials

    I know I messed up on that one. I checked the price on a couple online stores but did not check availability. Luckily the customer is very understanding that I will need to change up the material.
  9. Advice for billboard style sign materials

    Hi all! We are making a couple 120" x 72" signs for an apartment complex to go onto their existing wooden frame. pic attached. We already submitted the artwork/estimate and got approvals but now apparently we can't get 4x10 sheets of the Lusterboard we quoted for. After being turned down by...
  10. Summa F1612 vinyl popping up?

    what CMY_K said. Also, are you using the media core holders? If not, I'd try them. They help keep it move along straight. It will pop up on one side more than the other if the advance is going crooked. If you are using them then check to make sure they are seated properly on the roller and...
  11. Summa FB1612 material advance leaves gaps

    Giving this a bump. It is still not advancing properly. sometimes it leaves a gap and sometimes it overlaps. Is there an advance calibration somehwere?
  12. Summa S Class 2 T Series 140 OPOS Not Reading

    Mine has that issue sometimes too. Does it do it with glossy black vinyl? wondering if putting a square of glossy overlam over just the registration marks would clear that up. You can also try cleaning the lens with compressed air or a cotton swab with isopropyl alc
  13. Summa FB1612 material advance leaves gaps

    HI! I am hoping somebody knows whats going on here. Wherever the media advances, it skips about 2" of cutting as shown in the pic. It doesnt just advance too far and start where it left off - it actually skips those 2 inches. Letter shown should say ORSI and I marked in blue where the...

  15. What happened here? Bubbling

    Definitely not wet mounted. Dry mount through our laminator only and yes that's exactly why we went with polycarb over acrylic
  16. What happened here? Bubbling

    Wow thanks for the link that was a wealth of knowledge in that other thread. Yeah we are definitely going to stop using the 40C for these applications. Yeah and to think I suggested he go with polycarb instead of acrylic to replace the broken panel so it won't break again :doh:
  17. What happened here? Bubbling

    Need help identifying this issue. We make a lot of these backlit sign faces and this hasn't happened before. Contractor customer has not returned the face he only sent me pictures so far. Could it be faulty roll of vinyl? Caused by the current heat wave we are having in California? Can the...

  19. Summa FB1612 Tangential Module parts

    thanks! I found a local company that sells them. I think it snapped because my guys were using the kiss cutting tool to cut polystyrene material instead of the single edge blade tool... I re-lubed all moving metal parts but if it breaks again then I will check out if anything looks seized.
  20. Summa FB1612 Tangential Module parts

    I bought the part through Airmark. I called and described the part and the sales person patched me through to a tech who immediately knew what it was. The part is a HeliCal WAC15. I installed it in about 15 mins. It's working great again.
