  1. what could be causing my black head to be like this?

    well it must have been that low cyan cartridge preventing the wiper from doing its job. I swapped out cartridges and ran a 1 minute nozzle wash just so it would wipe the heads and my black is back.
  2. what could be causing my black head to be like this?

    This may be the culprit as 1 of my cyan cartridges is low and because it is a little slow at this time of year it has been this way for about a week now. Is there a way to force the machine to wipe?
  3. what could be causing my black head to be like this?

    Jv3 130 spII - I usually see this issue with the yellow head and a good nozzle wash seems to clean it out. Yesterday I remembered that last Friday I did not perform my weekly nozzle wash so decided to do it yesterday. I ran it for an hour. I did print yesterday with no issues with any of the...

  7. Cutting - there's got to be a better way!

    That is awesome!!! I have a d140, but it must be an older model. Does not look like that one and I have never seen that option.
  8. Wet lamination

    Tried it once before I had a decent laminator, and the cloudiness took 3 weeks to go away.... If you have a lot of dark colors in the print I wouldn't do it
  9. How often does this happen to you..............??

I come back upstairs and load more vinyl, find the letter or graphic and cut it. I then take it out head back downstairs and put it on the work table...then the multi tasking...
  10. Decal for vehicle question

    In the past before I owned a digital printer I would have car decals done by my screen printer. I know they use sheeted vinyl and I also know that it was calendered with no laminate. They could last quite a long time 5 years plus with little deterioration of the vinyl itself. I can't say that...
  11. Wireless router and adverse health effects

    The telecom industry much like the tobacco industry will try and deflect concern about harmful radiation given out by these devices... . Probably by about 2020 there will be a surge of cancer related issues due to cell phones and those that jam them up to their ears for countless hours. I have...

  17. any Canadian Companies know what is needed to ship signage down to the US of A?

    OK so yes I am taking it to a sister plant...but it is not their responsibility to fill out forms and document the shipment. So far I have found out I need to have a packing slip and a detailed invoice included in the shipment. That sounds to easy, but I will continue to investigate. I...
  18. any Canadian Companies know what is needed to ship signage down to the US of A?

    I have 14 48" x 76" alumapanel boards with digital print and Paper holders attached. Before i took the job on I told the American customer that I could not ship these as the cost using UPS or Purolator would be enormous and they would be damaged in shipping. They said they have a sister company...
  19. Question about die sub printing on a mesh for outdoor feather banners

    These guys are a large company that do lots of display printing so I have to think this is the best black they can achieve. I know if it were me I would definately let customers know what they can expect before getting into this sort of situation.
  20. Question about die sub printing on a mesh for outdoor feather banners

    I had a customer who wanted a feather outdoor banner and I had it done by a local supplier. We were printing a solid black with minimal white knowckouts. The banner and hardware arrived and I opened it up to check it out and I can only describe the colour black as a form of light navy blue...
