  1. CNC Routing Clear Acrylic

    Agreed. Running too slow. Based on the bit you are using I would be running 1 pass at 20,000 rpm at about 100ipm.
  2. EFI H1625 White Ink Trailing

    Can you attach pictures? Have you cleaned your static bars lately? Manual purge of the white heads?
  3. Metal ADA signs - where to get? better alternatives?

    Looks like photopolymer process.
  4. Cleaning UV ink off flatbed

    I agree with Gino. I'm not sure how the vacuum has been holding any media down with that much ink on it. If you can't replace it and must clean, I suggest spraying 99% ISO, letting it soak in, then use a plastic razor blade and wire brushes. Shop vac the *hit out of it and hope for the best...
  5. Need Help transperancies question

    Flatten the transparencies in Illustrator. If necessary convert to TIFF. Usually works out any transparency issues that I have.
  6. Discussion Efi Flatbed printers

    JR - We have been running the H1625 for a few years now. Overall, it's a workhorse.......however: a few things to note: The hybrid option on this particular machine is clunky. I would prefer a traditional flatbed and stick all my rolled media on our Rolands. We've blown quite a few coolant pumps...

    I was reading one of you posts about installing storefront graphics for larger companies. You mentioned that they contact you for installs - they pay slow, but they usually always pay. How did you get this work? Are you a part of some preferred installer list? I was hoping to start doing work...
  8. TR2 Ink Conversion for Roland Printers

    I spoke to my tech about this as well. He's done the conversion on 2 machines. On both occasions the firmware caused major issues. Roland does not pay for the tech's time, so the customer gets hit with the bill on top of the conversion kit + the TruVis ink that is dumped. My tech's advice: hold...
  9. TR2 Ink Conversion for Roland Printers

    Has anyone converted to the new TR2 inks? From what I understand, Roland is trying to get everyone over to these new inks. Profiles will be lost with the new firmware update. Sounds like I will basically have to start over with my backend settings. Just wondering if anyone has converted. Any...
  10. Question Sand carved and Graphic blast ADA signs

    I agree with Southpaw. Is there a specific reason the customer doesn't want applique letters and raster beads?
  11. H1625 FLATBED - WON'T PRINT - NO ERRORS

    All parameters. Voltages/Waveforms. Page Settings. Board Check. System, and Offset. I take screen shots and save them in a shared folder for reference.
  12. H1625 FLATBED - WON'T PRINT - NO ERRORS

    FIXED! The voltages and waveforms were all deactivated! I spoke to a tech and he's never seen anything like it. I was reminded to always take screen shots of your current parameters so that you can always go back and reset them if bugs like this occur. Thanks for the feedback and help!
  13. H1625 FLATBED - WON'T PRINT - NO ERRORS

    Thanks for the feedback. I thought the same thing. I inspected the guard. It doesn't seem damaged. If it was still communicating a crash to the controller, I don't think it would allow the printer to function at all. I can send a file to print. Curing lamps are coming on and everything. Just no ink.
  14. H1625 FLATBED - WON'T PRINT - NO ERRORS

    Yes. Several times. Actually just shut the entire system down for an hour. Powered back up, and having the same issue.
  15. H1625 FLATBED - WON'T PRINT - NO ERRORS

    We had a small head crash on coroplast. Did not effect the heads, just tripped the media guard. Now it won't print at all. It won't even do a test print. It purges fine. All heads are pushing ink. No errors on any of the boards. Everything else functions properly except it won't actually print...
  16. Question UV Ink Curing in strange places in machine? EFI H1625

    We've been running the H1625 for about 3 years now. First year was a little rough, but we've been able to work through a lot of issues. We used to have similar problems, but not to the extent that you describe. What are your ink vacuums set to? I'm running White (3.5) Color (3.1) Your voltages...
  17. Has anyone used Shieldz to prepare a wall for wall graphics?

    Wouldn't Gardz and high tack vinyl give the same result if they needed to be removed? Basically, you are only giving permanent options at this point? My trouble is that GraphiTex and other 'repositionable' materials are much easier to sell! No one wants to hear that their wall will need to be...
  18. Has anyone used Shieldz to prepare a wall for wall graphics?

    We've been having trouble with our wall graphics failing. Has anyone ever used Shieldz wall covering primer to prepare the wall before installation? Our current application: 3M-IJ35 with/or without lamination Prepare the surface using 70/30 ISO Wait 30 min Normal installation Heat treat as a...
