  1. Is anyone running an HP FB950?

    Yep Gandi is in that upper category.... The ol' 72uvr was the begining and rick is right on in what he is expressing
  2. SP 540V Encoder/wandering prints!!!!!!

    HMMMM.... Pacific Coast sounds like you are describing a newbie tech. thats not good Dont ever replace the springs and the entire roller assy. thats expensive b/c no one buys them. When you had alignment or tracking issue and replaced the outside rollers did you make sure they were turned...
  3. Is anyone running an HP FB950?

    No experience with or heard of anyone in this area with a EFI QS. Whats the specs of the machine you are looking for? Do you like the arizona flatbeds the 250GT kicks alota a's but its not the biggest flatty, I have seen the mimaki 5x10 true flatbed with white ink.. They are nice if the guy...
  4. New mid volume printer choices.

    In your case you already run a multi-printer shop with a good rip so you can go in any direction. RIPC is cool, I would say pass control on all solvent printers is somewhat different, but has gotten better than in the past (obviously) b/c if you had enough money then you would just end all the...
  5. New mid volume printer choices.

    Are you refering to the 1600 series mutoh? I dont really see a BIG difference in speed between the Epson and the dual head mutoh.... Maybe a bit faster but nothing thats of proportion in production sense.
  6. Is anyone running an HP FB950?

    I worked with this machine when it was a colorspan and its a beast. Once it is dialed in and working properly it does pretty good wouldnt call it top of the line or anything. I have heard that HP did some revamping of the feed system and carriage. But one thing to think about is it is...
  7. New mid volume printer choices.

    The Roland has to be the fastest for the buck, and why change hardware? Then you gota run another rip in most cases and learn how to run a entirely different piece of equipment and believe me they all are different in the way they do things. Chris is the V64 running a variable dot head...
  8. Intelligent pass control

    Yep just a chime in on this discussion I would much rather have RIPC on a Soljet than interweave on a ValueJet, the ink limits on the mutoh profiles that I have seen are way over the roof. Chris a question with RIPC does it get a true 20% gain in speed from the old firmware and profiles?
  9. Misinformation about PrismJET VJ48/Mutoh 1204

    That stinks but michael if you have a price quote on paper from a company it is just that a quote. They cant go back on it please tell me its on paper and just wasnt word of mouth. If so next time make them fax a quote so that they can be held to there word a mistake is a mistake someone...
  10. GBC Eagle 65 laminator service

    In Laminator's cases you need to contact manufacture or who you bought it from. For the most part you can usually get a tech. on phone explain problem and they will send you parts if needed. I would fix it yourself just b/c of price of your hardware compared to the cost of a technician to...
  11. Misinformation about PrismJET VJ48/Mutoh 1204

    I find that alot of people in this forum blast people that are helpful. Its hard to understand until you see or meet these people in there shops. Honestly theres alot of variables and no one man can teach a shop all of this so therefore you get this "misinformation" when in reality its just...
  12. Battery Replacement on JV33 for Reset of Time

    Billy the supplier is the reason for the ink being expired... seen it way too many times b/c the supplier most of the time doesnt know that the ink thats on there shelfs needs to be circulated and checked for expiration date. THEY DONT and its as easy as the ones that get old they send back to...
  13. VP540 turning off media mesuring

    I guess thats a way to do it..... BUT I WOULDNT DO IT THAT WAY TOOMUCH You run the risk of the media slipping and striking heads you also run the risk of printing on platen which in time can get ink in your vacuum fans and clog vacuum holes. In turn the reason why there are two outside...
  14. Roland VP540 recommendations??

    Theres always a cheaper or a better vinyl "not the two together" Metamark is a little bit thicker vinyl but is high end and works good for its application. Theres only 1 vinyl I would compare to that type of metamark its called Convex but it too is a high end thick product both are not what...
  15. take-up reel

    Wow that is way different must be aftermarket? I know it definetly isnt made by roland. Were are you from U.S.? this is interesting I am not saying it doesnt work b/c it looks like it would and actually it is made like a mimaki take up unit but still its different. Can you tell me if...
  16. take-up reel

    Depends on if it is a TUC-1 or TUC-2 there are two different types the #2 like replicator's VP. I am guessing its a #1 b/c it doesnt use tension to take up it only has a sensor eye and a reflector. Not the best engineering scheme but this unit has to be used with the soljet, soljetII, and SP...
  17. HPGL vs. GPGL?

    Here's the kicker Tel most of the daily users of this forum are here scouting "I guess dont have a lot to do" But believe me I have been shot down b/c of my status and they judge you on how many posts you have done. They tell me I need "cred" .... Cred to me is real life situations that you...
  18. Need a new plotter?

    Graphtec fc7000 is a good plotter but if you are cutting that material all the time it might be time to think about something other than a drag knife plotter. My recomendation is a summa tanginal blade sure there alittle pricey but do you want to babysit everyone of these sandblast mask jobs...
  19. $ Heads for a Seiko 64s

    you can go to www.digiprint-supplies.com they are in belgium but you have to pay overnight shipping but there price is usually lower than your vendors here in the states especially on those heads. heres the link check it out I usually buy atleast 5 at a time and get a better discount but I use...
  20. Battery Replacement on JV33 for Reset of Time

    You arent going to be able to fix the problem by pulling the battery if you have expired cartridges they are expired the only way to get around it is reset the chip on cartridge or downgrade firmware which on the JV-33 wouldnt be real feasable. The battery is located on the main control board...
