cleaning

Got a customer that decided to have an exterminator spray a pesticide on windows we installed perf vinyl. They are upset now because the windows look hazy from the inside. We told them it's not good to wash the perf vinyl with anything more than a mild soap and water spray and a rinse. We also...

I bought a second hand Mimaki CJV150-160BS almost new with a fried motherboard that I fixed. The printer came with a lot of disassembled parts, all in a cardboard box and I am not sure if I did get them all. When the printhead gets cleaned the rubber squeegee splashes ink everywhere around the...

Is this a normal amount of ink in a week's time with very little usage?? Every other time loading material goes through a clean cycle. Driving me nuts with the waste!! And then a slight clean for test print. (I want to see what the test print shows before a slight clean.) Vg640, TR2 ink...

I bought a used Roland SP-300V and it's been working like a dream--except there was barely any suction on the platen, if any. So I watched a YouTube tutorial, took the plates off the front and rear, removed the ducted fan from the assembly and....dust city, population: me. I brushed it and...

So I have a wrap job coming up, but before that my client wanted me to throw on some temp decals until they can get it to me. While doing the temp decals today, I noticed, it had some spots that were super smooth and did not want to stick. The body is a painted fiberglass, this is not a new...

Hello all, I am troubled. We had some fuzziness on a print yesterday. I figure it was from static. My boss suggested running a nozzle check, just to make sure. it was not good. We had quite a few missing pieces. No big chunks but a few here and here all over the print. So I ran a cleaning. Now...

Hello, I am new to the industry as an installer. I have a project which requires me to remove vinyl lettering from an exterior brushed aluminum sign and install new vinyl lettering. I am very confident their will be some ghosting once I remove the existing vinyl lettering. What are my options...

Hello, everyone! As using JV33-160A, there are many problems. The big issue was solved today with helpful advise of the member "Solventinkjet". And the other issue is the banding and color change. I printed on PET Film with aqueous pigment. But there are too many banding problems. After...

Curious what measures everybody takes to maintain a clean print/production environment? What tools, equipment and procedures to you follow to try and prevent contaminates ending up in a print/sign? We're moving to a new shop in roughly 6 weeks and one of the things I want to do is control...

I've found a few threads on how to clean the belts on the HP flatbeds, but does anybody have tricks to avoiding having to clean the bed at all when doing full bleed prints? We do a TON of full bleed boards and putting tape on the bed to catch the bleed from the sides of the boards works well...

Hello, my authorized Roland supplier sent me a Cleaning Kit (ESL5) instead the one (SL) I used to buy for cleaning my VS and SC. As I know ESL5 is for cleaning Eco-Sol Max 3 printers, but the supplier said that from now on, Roland has only this cleaning Kit (ESL5) for all Eco-Sol printers. I...

Before Gino comes storming in with his booze, does anyone reclaim old acrylic sheets? I usually toss them on the side of the street or use them as garage sale signs, but i want to know if it is possible to remove all the yellow from sun damage over the years?

Where is everyone buying their Foam Cleaning Swabs? We used to order from griots garage qty200 for $22.00, but it seems they do not carry them any longer. Anyone else have any good leads? It's time for us to re-up and our source is gone :(
