We laminate any perf that is going on a vehicle (same reason as above reply) and any that is going to be installed long term and near vehicle traffic. The view-through collects so much sediment over time if it is unlaminated.
We usually let things outgas before laminating but with perf we outgas flat so that it runs through the laminator correctly. Perf has a tendency to "remember it's shape" more so than vinyl. As such we have had problems with it wanting to track along the roller and run down into the machine. We...
Same problem here! Was cutting fine with a brand new blade for the first year I worked with it (though it is a 13 yr old machine). Then a few months ago it just stopped cutting laminated vinyl decals. Have had to outsorce multiple jobs since due to it not working correctly. Again, same, max 300...
I run a Mimaki flatbed. Have done many days of full coverage printing consecutively and never encountered an odor strong enough to cause nausea. You said the issue might be the wood. Did you start to experience the increased odor after a new shipment of substrate? I recall working in a framing...
Didn't even KNOW I could clean the ionizer heads.
I do a manual cleaning daily or every other day depending on usage (carriage and station, all areas).
Weekly I do a full sweep and mop in the print room as well as a more thorough manual cleaning and a NORMAL auto clean, check print head...
I just replaced the wipers this morning on a machine prompt. Have not printed anything yet but will keep a close watch for it to see if that clears up the issue. I clean the cap tops daily but not sure of their age. Hopefully I can ask around the shop and find out and replace if able. Thanks for...
I am by no means an expert on the machine but I do know it has an ionizer and runs it prior to each printing. Nozzle check looks clean. No color migration in Scan or Feed. Any other tips for reducing static?
That definitely makes sense. I always wipe down with 70/30 prior to printing but do still get a lot of ambient static electricity. The machine shares a room with the buildings furnace so it is excessively dry most of the time. Thanks for the tip!
New to the forum and new to the industry here. I recently started a job at a local Signarama and am working primarily on a Mimaki JFX 200-2513. Not a tom of experience with the machine yet but enough to operate day to day and troubleshoot minor issues. I have seen a few other posts about...
