I'm about to pull the trigger on an Epson S60600 - I have never owned a solvent printer before. What is the (daily?) maintenance procedure and how involved is it? Thanks in advance.

It's the same old spiel... Documentation is abysmal & they all try to protect their turf. & yes, I'm trying to find someone who has done this before. A few people have managed to run "unsupported" ink and I think the difference between clear and primer within the same family can't be that bad...

That's what I'm thinking. I'm pretty handy with this kind of thing...

I have tried to use clear as a primer in varying densities and cure levels... works OK for some applications – I'm specifically looking to apply foil and clear does not work for that.

Thanks... Yeah. I use the clear so little that I'm looking for guidance how to change it to primer. I'm not familiar with the procedure.

HELP - What's the procedure of changing clear to primer on a Mimaki UJF 3042 MKII? I've had my machine for nearly three years and it's been pretty flawless. Turns out, I almost never use the clear varnish and the print quality of the clear isn't so hot either. Now I'm thinking of switching the...

good call – I'll give it a shot! thank you & stay tuned...

I have been wondering recently also. Where does one find a good VA!?

He might be a Nigerian prince, you never know...

I have a small Mimaki flatbed UV machine and I have only ONE regret - not getting the larger version up. The difference in price is totally negligible in hindsight, as this machine is insanely versatile and pays for itself every single month. I seriously wish I could print larger. Get the...

Eggshell labels (or Avery security labels) would do the trick, I think. They stick well and tear, or break as needed. Not sure if they'd run on an eco solvent printer...

Found it... Hidden in the Special Functions menu "Tool Select Wait" "Enable". Now the machine asks for a tool change as needed.

I recently got a hold of a Graphtec FC4500-50 flatbed. So far, so good & I'm getting a hang of the machine and menus. It's clearly showing its age, but it all makes sense somehow and the machine does the job. I ran into an issue & I have a question that someone here might be able to answer...

I like your suggestion. That's truly the best explanation to a customer so far. She did place an order for shirts and was thrilled with the result & I also charged a design fee. It's actually a pretty involved design, and she had indicated that she's coming back for more - that's why it's all...

Hmmm. No.

Just the opposite - she was extremely happy with the finished product, hence me being so perplexed by this whole thing. Heck, I might be the one overthinking it.

Not sure if it's a problem per se. I was wondering how other people in the industry would handle such a thing. We can talk about hairy balls another time.

What bugs me is that she received files that are perfectly OK for mock-ups. I feel like she's being dishonest and keeps asking for more.

I'll definitely add something like that to my fine print. Art release fee & good bye.

Yup. I spoke to a photographer friend of mine and he said exactly the same thing.
