  1. Need Help Uv ink easily peeled off.

    depends on what your printing to but not everything will have good adhesion with every UV ink.
  2. Suggestions UV Printer - Logojet, Roland or Mimaki

    We have a UJF-6042 and 3042 from Mimaki. We have had the 6042 for about 6 years and have not replaced any heads. This machine runs daily and has a lot of prints on it. I will be honest all the smaller cylindrical attachment printers will not print tumblers that great unless you spend the...
  3. Discussion Efi Flatbed printers

    Just looked back ours was installed Oct 2017 so it has been a little over 2 years and we had the very first one installed. They had a flatbed many years ago but just started doing true flatbeds with the 24F again 2 years ago.
  4. Opinions on the Efi pro 24f & 30f

    I have the first 24F installed as I was part of the early adopter for them. It is a great machine very easy to run. I have had very few issues and had it for about 1.5 years. The 30F is the 5x10 version with more heads that are staggered I believe to be able to get faster print speeds.
  5. Discussion Efi Flatbed printers

    Yes I would recommend it. Prints great and the white is very opaque. The 16h got away from the coolant system and went to the Ricoh heads which was a big thing for me coming from the 1625 that had coolant and Toshiba heads.
  6. Discussion Efi Flatbed printers

    The H1625 Hybrid is junk. We had one that they took back and we got upgraded to the Pro 16H. We also run the 24F Flatbed. Great machines. I have had very minor issues with either of them. If your going to do acrylic use the 3M ink. We had the first ever 24F installed outside of their...
  7. White Ink / Speed

    If the print heads are in a straight line it is slowing it down to close to half speed as your only using half the head. Your white will use the top half of the head and the CMYK channels will use the bottom half of the head.
  8. Discussion Looking to buy a flatbed uv printer

    We ran a Mimaki JFX200 for 5 years. We had one of the first 9 that came into the states. Loved that machine, just outgrew it. If I had the space I woudl run multiple of them instead of 1.
  9. Which printhead to buy for a Mimaki 6042 MKII?

    I thought on the MKII they went to a Toshiba head? The best bet would be to get in touch with your supplier and find out what exactly is in the printer.
  10. Suggestions Custom Yetti Tumbler

    There are a lot of places that will do customization on tumblers in any quantity that would be local depending on what exactly you are wanting.
  11. HP FB550 - Ink peeling at edges on ACM signs after only 1 year...

    We offer outdoor signs 2 ways. Direct UV print and then printing vinyl laminated and applied. If they are wanting longer life out of the sign charge more and print the vinyl. A sign direct printed should give you 2-3 years no problem without lamination depending on exposure to elements. I...
  12. Review Mimaki UCJV300-160 vs Mutoh 1682SR

    I would be careful with Perf on a UV machine. We have run into the issue where the ink is thick enough that it will fill the holes and not stay on the transfer when applied. We have UV, Latex and Eco solvent machines as they all serve a different purpose and we can chose the best option for...
  13. cutting templates

    What kind of "tray are you looking for? Something cut all the way through or something routed part of the way through? Either way it is a simple line drawing that is sent to the Zund machine and then in the Zund software you can apply a hatch fill or island fill. I attached a tray i did to...
  14. Need Help HP 750 Horizontal Banding on prints

    Have you done a nozzle check and made sure all nozzles are firing properly?
  15. cutting templates

    Why not design your own to meet your specific needs.
  16. Question How to max out opacity on a UV cure flatbed printer.

    On reflective materials to get a block out you will need a white under base since CMYK are transparent. Flooding too much color will have negative effects.
  17. Need Help Mimaki jfx 200 ink chipping

    We use the Palight Premium through Grimco. We had a JFX200 and it worked just fine for us.
  18. New Product Which Flatbed Printer to buy?

    The Mimaki JFX200 is a great machine. Ran one for many years. Upgraded to the EFI 24F for the faster speeds. The Mimaki is about 15 minutes per 4x8 board and the EFI is about 5-6 minutes per board.
  19. Suggestions Entry level hybrid UV printer

    And when they run out in about a year or two there will be no service or parts available for them. I would stay clear of them.
  20. Suggestions Entry level hybrid UV printer

    Patrick- I think they are great machines. We were part of the early adopter for the 24f and had the first machine out. I would definitely buy another.
