I have owned 2 of the ustech laminators and i have to say that for the money you just cant go wrong. As for loading the laminator I found this video a long time ago and have been doing it this way ever since (I used the feeder board before but like this method a lot more)...

Glad its fixed learned this the hard way myself

There could be anumber of things causing this. Please post a picture so that we may get a better idea of what is happening so we can try and help. My first thought is either media comp needs to be adjusted or you have deflections or both really need to see apic.

Best way to judge if the graphics are good or not is to step back from your computer screen if you cant read it from 10 to 15 feet away on your screen then its to busy or not laid out right. This method works for almost anything you design (if you want people to be able to read it and retain...

Sightline nailed it. You need to downgrade your firmware to 2.10 or lower to beable to use non OEM heads.

You can change manifolds but you can not change the board it is a part of the head assembly. To my knowledge the JV-5 has to run the OEM head. I am not sure but I believe I read somewhere that the older firmware in the JV-5 would allow you to run the JV33 head and the china made heads as...

What Sightline said! You need to learn color managment and calibrations as well as buy the equipment to do it. FYI color managment and calibrations with matching colors can be a very long and difficult road but if you go down it and learn it it is very much worth it. Good Luck.

That sucks sorry to hear it. Bright side you will have a new head with perfect test prints and if taken care of should last you a long time.

As table Hockey said I would start out with trying profiles for other materials that are similar such as if your china vinyl is a calandered vinyl and is 2.5 mil try a profile for a vinyl like that such as Oracal 3651. Try several profiles even if the materials are not the same if you get good...

Yes sounds like there is a issue with formats if you are printing photos best to use and RGB input profile (most rips do this by default) and use perceptual render intent this will help with colors that you can not print due to CMYK ink. Also if you have a file with a SRGB profile embbeded and...

I said it before and I will say it again if you are using NON OEM dampers and they have the grey rubber seal in them I have had to change several of these before getting them to seal well. As a test I tried an old damper that had the blue rubber seal and the generic one with the grey rubber...

So you got it fixed? If so glad to hear it. Is the print head still ok?

Try a profile for a different material that is similar such as Oracal 3640. Best thing to do if you have the full pro version of flexi is to buy an i1 ( the i1 is all you need you dont need any software as flexi has everything you need to build profiles built in) and make your own profiles it...

I built my own CNC also and saved a ton of money. As for the roller system I think it would be rather simple (compared to building the CNC) The biggest problem is where to get the roller at a reasonable price. The roller could be made but I think to get a quality roller you would be better...

Olea, Do a search here on the forum for color managment and profile making there is alot of info. Making profiles requires the right equipment and software and depending on the rip you use it could be $1500 to $5000 to beable to make your own profiles. Plus there is a little bit of a learning...

First off set the vacuum to the highest setting either at the printer or in the rip. Second when you put the printer into remote as soon as the rip is done ripping and it transfer the data to the printer if you are watching the printer you should beable to see the material actually get sucked...

Well forst of all its not that simple to build a good profile second it requires special equipment (spectrophotometer) AKA i1 and depends on the rip you have some will allow you to build profiles such as Flexi and some require special software like rasterlink. Do a search here on the forum...

If you put all the files in to production manager NOT flexi to nest and print all the files select 1 file then hold down shift and select the last one and it will select them all then just click on nest at the top of the screen. To see a preview and to tell it how to rotate files and set...

You can use optically clear all day long no problem we used it on many of wraps.

Yes what rip are you using? There is alot of info here on the forum and online about building profiles most of it is the same no matter what rip you use. Go to the color mgmt forum there is alot of good info in there if you need more help as away we will try to help.
