  1. SP540v Will not print red and yellow. Cant get the ink to flow to dampers

    Disconnect the "Y" connecting the magenta and yellow cap tubes. Pull directly through the magenta tube only. Dumb question, but does your magenta ink cartridge have ink?
  2. SP540v Will not print red and yellow. Cant get the ink to flow to dampers

    yes, you should have pressure pulling back. if not, there is an air leak.
  3. Avery Vinyl with 3M Overlam...no-no or?

    You should be fine with using a 3M cast laminate on top of the Avery cast wrap vinyl. I would not expect any problems. However, you will not receive any warranty on the vinyls from either manufacturer, I have no idea if this matters to you / your shop. You will also not qualify for 3M's MCS...
  4. SP540v Will not print red and yellow. Cant get the ink to flow to dampers

    Pull from below the caps with the heads parked, gently.
  5. install price for semi

    Between $650 and $1000 depending on the customer/project/qty. Should take around a day for two guys the first time, after a few they should be down to around 5 hours, especially with no front. Remember you will need scaffolding for this.
  6. Painting aluminum blanks?

    yellow vinyl
  7. Large Format 3D Printers

    The market is not there yet in the sign industry and almost all 3D printers are still slow. We are working with Oakridge Laboratories on developing a few new 3D printers that are both high speed and high quality. One of these is a printer that prints 7'x2'x2' and is still nowhere near...
  8. Gerber 2 Power Supply

    I do not think an Edge 2 will work in the original model Edge, but it should work in an Edge 1. I have an Edge 1 for parts if you want to make an offer (missing pixels), I am near CVG airport.
  9. Hi Everyone! Thanks for this site, I'm loving all the info on here!

    Welcome, are you the Yellotools distributor for USA?
  10. overlaying colors

    I have never been able to successfully print over Silver Medal foil before, thought we could once and ruined 30 yards... I believe you need to get some VinylEFX Smooth Silver vinyl and print the magenta onto that.
  11. No Printing, No Target, Just Cutting?

    Move the vinyl as far "right" as possible and move the head as far "down" as possible.
  12. Ultra large wood textures needed

    Back to the original question; I get a lot of nice high-res textures/artwork off of this site: http://www.textures.com/
  13. Head Cleaning causes nozzles plugged - Head 1 drips.

    Sounds like a problem with the capping station seal or a weak pump. Could also be leaking dampers, but I don't think so.

  15. Melissa Inline Font Search

    It doesn't exist as a font as far as I can tell. You might want to get on Ebay and buy one of the old Letraset kits still on there and scan it in. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LETRASET-Rub-on-Letter-Transfers-MELISSA-INLINE-72pt-16-5mm-LG2317-NEW-/291885085085?hash=item43f5b4f19d:g:DRcAAOSwB4NWydnB...
  16. JV3 Error 23 help!

    After a quick search online it appears that an Error 23 for a JV3 is a communications error. Start with replacing the firewire cable, then I would suggest that the firewire card in the printer might be going bad, or possibly the one in your PC. If you need a good local Mimaki tech I will send...
  17. 3M IJ180Cv3 sun exposure---looks burned

    Never, ever, ever seen this happen with 3M, and we run a LOT of rolls. I'm betting that someone grabbed the wrong lam by mistake.
  18. Wraps and the Worth of Installers

    Pay your installers and designers well, without them you are just another guy with an expensive printer and a lot of vinyl sitting around. We have two in-house designers here and 4 full-time installers in-house. 3 of them are some of the best installers I've ever seen, and the 4th guy is an...
  19. Fred- Clicking on thread links opening web pages in background...

    Only seen it the one time, never since.
  20. Strange TEST PRINT

    really, really looks like a damaged head that got dragged across screws. post up a photo of your capping station; I bet it has two screws in it.
