Thank you so much!

anybody know what is going on here? I changed out the lmcm printhead and ink carts. ink carts expired while in the printer. It seems to be around the 20-30" and 46-50" from the capping station (origin) at random length intervals. The pattern is never the same but always uses these colors. I...

Thanks! yes that gray clip was the culprit. quick fix with zip ties. This printer has been a tank mostly haha

thanks for the info!

In your opinion is neither ink set suitable for long lasting exterior signs?

Hi I am looking into a Mutoh UV flatbed and curois how the US11 inks worked out for exterior applications? I am planning on printing directly to corrugated plastic, pvc, and painted aluminum

I love these horror stories. Ive had my own and that's why I am a stickler for following MY work flow not the customers. I don't care how fast they need it turned around. 50% deposit and the artwork must be thoroughly proofed and approved by them in email or signed in person never over the...

Looking to sell my fb500. It comes with production house, the roll to roll attachment, the 4 media tables shown in the pics (2 small connected to the printer and the 2 large folded up) and an extra set of print heads. This machine is still up and running as we still use it here and there just...

I found my old thread about yellow not printing. New data cable fixed it. I hope your issue is easier/less expensive:thumb: https://www.signs101.com/threads/compress-iuv-1200s-flatbed-printer-problem.147015/#post-1387542

another printing issue I remember fixing was the data cable to the printhead. Check for ink/damage to it. I had to swap mine out.

Another victim of those compress UV printers. ouch. I feel for you, we had the 1200. It was down and inop 75% of the year we had it. It's been a few years but I seem to remember having similar problems and changing out the dampers to fix it. I also remember certain 3rd party inks not...

still available? where in CA?

54" model. As is parts machine or fix it! Needs new motherboard and possibly carriage axis motor. It was getting a lot of carriage axis faults for a few weeks and then one day the motherboard started smoking and wouldn't boot but before that it was a reliable beast. Pick up only. Located in So...

Sorry, no I don't. I feel for you though. That machine was never reliable. It was sold back to Coldesi after a year.

Thanks! Yeah I was looking at AlumaCorr and Alumalite as well. I just wasn't sure about the flutes being strong enough. My Grimco rep is looking into ordering NuAlum sheets for me. Hopefully that pans out since it looks to be the same thing as Lusterboard but if not, then we'll probably do...
