Yes. Do you have a loop or magnifying glass? If so, find the lines that overlap. As to the + and -, if your lines overlap at the positive side, then add that value to your current value on your machine screen. For example: If your current value is 2.? and your overlapping line is at +5, then...

That's correct. Any UV printer will print on anything, it's the adhesion factor that need to be tested. You can print on glass, but will it stick? Most likely, NO. I've printed on many substrates from ceiling tiles to scrap plywood with great adhesion but glass is a whole new science.

I would check out FLAAR reports on the machine. We have an Inca Spyder and Turbo. These machines are fast and have outstanding print quality

We use Sericols ZE-680 for acrylic. It works great on our Incas

We've tested similar light panels on our Inca Turbo. In order to get the color to pop we set our saturation to 400%. To accompany this saturation we had to slow our machine down to around 500-600mm/s. Our machine cannot handle such saturation at a high speed. The image becomes blurry. This...

We've always run ours at high. No problems. Tried running it low and alignments off, plus we usually get head strikes. (even on paper) Stick to High

Might need a new slider board. I have replaced heads before and it has damaged the slider board. Did you power down the machine and unplug it B4 you installed the head. It was recommended by a mimaki tech to do this before replacing a head. If it's not unplugged it could cause a short and...

I agree with everyone here. There are a lot of variables involved with color matching for Digital printing. For instance, there is no Pantone Book created specifically for digital printing (and probably never will be) A good color match depends on Profiles, Software and color management. For...

We are using adhesion promoter ZE 680 from Sericol for all our acrylic. It works very well on our Inca flatbeds. They do not make as adhesion promoter for glass. There is a glass promotor made for Vutek. BondAid I and II(for glass and acrylics)is made by Triangle INks. you might want to try...

We used to have a Zund 215+. Not very fast. It was also hard to keep the heads clean and ink mist would dry on the surface because there wasn't proper shielding from the UV lamps. We had ours for 4 years. Many other issues happened during it's lifetime. It's an OK machine if you get a newer...

I agree with MachServTech, Try pulling ink through from the pumps. Is your capping station at the right height? You might want to check the rubber cap to see if it's touching your head and getting a proper seal.

we have two JV3's running on one PC. We have connected through ethernet but can I connect the other through the firewire using remote desktop? Does anyone know how to find the port for the firewire? or do I need a separate PC for this?

when you say "lines are empty" do you mean the whole ink lines? If so you might want to check your ink lines. I've had a similar problem. What I did was take my ink line off at the pump and using a syringe, lightly pull ink through, then reattached at the pump. (make sure you heads are capped...

We have a netgear print server already. Heres' the scoop. We have installed Colorgate Productionserver5 Rip software. We have installed it on one PC. Colorgate gives you the option to share by using Remote desktop. We have configured our Inca and Jeti machines to connect to colorgate by...

It's hard to say. There are a lot of specifics that need to be addressed (ie. carriage speed, UV lamp power settings and what type of material you print on.) Typically the slower the print speed the better the cure. But again that depends on the UV power. (ie. High, medium, low) What type...

Can I connect my JV3 through a network or can it only be connected directly through a PC?

One more option for material is a product called Eco-Glass. It's made from soda bottles. It's available right next door to us. I've printed on it with our UV flatbed with great success. I'm sure you could apply vinyl lettering as well. The company is ecosystemsdisplays.com

Of course it all depends on how you look at it. UV inks are environmentally friendly, because unlike solvent-based inks, 100 percent of the ink is used. UV ink is a two-part acrylic epoxy, the A part is the ink itself with recepters to be activated by the B part which is UV light. The UV rays...

First of all, what type of printers so you have? UV, solvent? The "greenest" ink available that is not Bio-based would have to be UV or Dye. UV contains no harmful solvent characteristics and yes Dye sub is water based. Second, if you want to make banners for the store I would suggest BioFlex...

tried sericols BP+ inks. only thing good about it is a better color gamut. The ink is very viscous and damages the heads. had a difficult time getting them to cover the price for new heads. the cost is cheaper than OEM inks. I don't know if they are still marketing this ink, but definitely do...
