  1. Crowned Roller vs Flat

    We have a DryTac JM63 laminator which was purchased prior to me working here. I have recently been having a lot of problems laminating roll to roll, we get waves in the media and the only way to stop them is to raise the roller and reset the tension. The problem with this outside of being very...
  2. ink curling up when trapped in paint

    We have been running into a problem with bright white prints curling up when we trap the image in paint. We have an Oce 360 xt and we use IJC256 as our white ink and Mathews paint. It has happened on polycarb, glass and photo polymer. Has anyone encountered this problem before? It isn't...
  3. Roll to Roll Becoming Loose

    I have been having some trouble running full rolls of 150'x60" Oracal 3951 Ra on our Mimaki JV300-160. The Take-Up Reel starts out great, and winds it up tight and consistent until about halfway through the roll. We re aligned the position of the reels and got the same results. Then we got a...
  4. Client Provided Files

    We are having something weird going on over the past month with a lot of client provided files. They are always in PDF format and we use: Illustrator >Raster link 6 v4.3.2>Mimaki JV 300-160. This has occurred on multiple medias, we are getting grids of color printing out in the middle of the...
  5. Grey fading to purple Arizona Oce 360 XT

    We have been having issues with larger prints that are supposed to be solid grey fading to a purplish grey. First it was on Optix DA Acrylic, we managed to fix it by rotating the files in pre production so they would fit the bed (which doesnt make much sense to me as to why rotating in pre...
  6. Selling a JV33-160

    My boss wants to get rid of our Jv33-160, It needs a new head and at this point is just taking up space in our shop. Any suggestions of where to look to get rid of it? We are located in central Va.
  7. UV Printing Digital Grade Acrylic

    I have been having some weird stuff going on trying to print onto Optix DA. The print starts out fine but then the print almost tapers the color from grey to a dark blue (its supposed to be grey). I do a nozzle check afterwards and everything looks good. I am wondering if it could be the static...
  8. reviving print heads on UV flatbed

    Hello I am running an Arizona Oce 360 XT that has been giving me some issues with my test prints. I am getting clogged nozzles on both of my white heads routinely as well as one of my yellows. I know there are a ton of tricks for reviving solvent print heads, but haven't found anything on flat...
  9. Media that can be applied to brick

    We have a client looking for a material to be printed on and applied to the brick walkway in front of a statue. We run a solvent as well as a flatbed UV printer, I am assuming that it would need to be a rubbery media and possibly heated for adhesion. Any thoughts/ suggestions are appreciated.
  10. Rasterlinks question

    We just upgraded to a Mimaki JV300-160 and switched from Flexi pro to Rasterlink 4.3.2, I love the interface but one thing I cant figure out is how to que up the next job while a current job is printing. If I do file>open it will put it in the que after the current job finishes, Whereas in Flexi...
  11. JV-33 Color drop out

    Yesterday I was printing on Perforated media on our JV33-160, in the middle of the print the yellow and one of the light cyan dropped out (we use 8 cartridge SS21 ink). Test print revealed the drop out so I ran a hard clean and then test printed again, both colors came back perfectly. I...
