solvent

Hi guys, what are the pros and cons of UV printer over a solvent printer. Im using s40 right now and i am doing all kinds of printing, from photo for frame to banners, stickers and decals, canvas, etc. If i get a uv roll to roll what would i be able to do that the s40 can't do. Also how good is...

Hi all! I have a Grando 3202 DX5 wide format printer and due to change of hands we dont have the driver software for this unit deeming it useless otherwise. Grando will not help for some strange reason (even when offered to pay) and nor will the european supplier.... Shocking service! Driver is...

Hello all, I apologize in advance for such a noobish question, but I am on the verge of buying new equipment, and my confusion is turned up to 11. However, my expectations may be unreasonable. This side of the world is new to me, and I think I have the wrong mindset. I have three Canon...

In a nutshell, we moved and printers had to sit for a bit, thus having issues with some clogs. Need help in doing a head-soak - DX4 solvent type. I know and have done the procedure of clamping and such, just haven't in a very long time and can't recall how to get the heads out of the way and...

I got a bunch of Jetbest ECO Pigment cartridges from a person who got rid of their Roland printer. Will this ink work in a Mimaki CJV30-100 printer if I change the chip? is the ink the same or will it ruin my printhead? Does someone have a reference number for the JetBest Eco Pigment? Any...

Hi, We do decals and backlit signs. We have a Roland VG2-540, it prints great on 3M IJ180 vinyl. But the inks scratch easily and we have to wait 24 hours before cutting into bleed. I'm thinking of getting a UV roll to roll printer (probably Mimaki UCJV) to overcome these problems. But 1)...

Hi all, I currently have a Mimaki CJV150 solvent printer. Ink Configuration is CMYK Lb Or Si Wh. We run a small vinyl transfer printing business and the printer doesn't get used every single day. Usually about 4 days a week. Because we run the business from home, we have to turn the printer off...

Hi I am wanting to source canvas media that will be Matt finish after printing using our RE640 Roland Original inks. Does anybody have any recommendations? We tend to find that the ink is reflective once printed especially with dark colours. Any help you can give would be great. Thanks Chris

I'll keep it short and sweet - would any Mimaki JV-33 or JV-5 users out there happen to have an extra bulk cartridge of ink I could buy from you? Triangle JVV Eco Solvent, 2 liter, Magenta. Having never been notified of this change by our supplier (because we only buy very little ink), we just...

Hello, I have many years in the industry and am looking to break out on my own. Ideally looking for something that is ready to print as I have clients lined up and ready to bring jobs when we're ready. Located in Western NC but willing to drive for the right machine, I am really hoping to...

i just purchased a very clean cj-400 that I intend to convert to eco solvent. I don't anticipate any problems with this, but have a few doubts about whether I should go mild solvent or solvent instead. I want to be able to use cheaper substrate and not have to laminate everything. I also need...

Although it's been great to us, our new mimaki printer is coming this week. We need to make room by selling our JV 5-160. we just had major service done last year and spent around 8,000 on 2 new heads and a bunch of supporting parts. The other 2 heads are out of the machine and need other...

Hello all, I am running some acrylic pieces on my Mimaki JFX 200 flatbed printer. I was wondering if anyone knew of a solvent that would eat the UV ink off of the acrylic without damaging the acrylic. With using Goof Off graffiti remover I was able to get it off on parts that were freshly run...

I have a Mimaki JFX200 flatbed printer. The table itself has some ink buildup on it. Im trying to get it clean. Ive used alcohal, screen wash, and windex to try and cut the ink but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas of anything that they have found that works good? Thank you.

hey all, we started making our own lightboxes using aluvision aluminum and gaskets we solvent print onto Samba FR fabric. my problem is that when we sew the gasket strips on we have to be very accurate since the samba has little to no stretch to it. Does anyone know of a nice fabric that is...
