  1. Dry white ink before adding color in Flexi? S80600

    i wonder if the inks are mixing or diluting or if it is just the translucent properties of the inks
  2. S80600: new to eco solvent: minimal print or autoprinthead cleaning?

    i am of mixed feelings on this certainly a printer that is kept busy EVERY DAY is much less troublesome and certainly the more agressive inks are more trouble. WHY are so many printers programmed to stop in the middle of a print to do a cleaning if it "is time"? as i have said air bubbles...
  3. S80600: new to eco solvent: minimal print or autoprinthead cleaning?

    I think A LOT depends on what temp the office sits at (and what humidity ) during off hours. if you are still climate controlled it is more forgiving. a healthy cappingvstation with a perfect seal also helps. do your inks ever PULL BACK leaving air bubbles or gaps in the ink lines? I worry...
  4. S80600: new to eco solvent: minimal print or autoprinthead cleaning?

    one of my favorite topics 2 years ago, my wife had a serious health issue hospitalized for quite a while, and still at this point, unable to walk unassisted i have spent practically no time i the shop for the last 2 years. we print sporadically EVERY DAY run 1 manual cleaning cycle. i print...
  5. UJF 6042 MKi blowing out X motors

    am i incorrect they would draw current to stay in position AGAINST A LOAD? for instance if the movement was vertical and gravity acted on carriage weight. 1/2 amp is a fair amount of heat to "piss away" standing still. you mention a really good point, though, is this a situation where some...
  6. UJF 6042 MKi blowing out X motors

    a continuous .45 amp of current DOING NO WORK should be producing a fair amount of heat. pit also needs to be disapated. There should be, to my thinking, a heat sync or the motor itself getting fairly hot. smoke jaguar would be able to answer this this better than I can, though
  7. UJF 6042 MKi blowing out X motors

    i am a rank amature when it comes to mimaki, BUT we are not troubled by .45 aMP CURRENT with the motor doing NOTHING? seems a bit odd to me (could just be me)
  8. registration marks in Flexi from a different printer

    are we somehow misdetecting the edge you would think the machine can "count to 10" is there an edge or material sensor (probably 3 inches from the edge of material) so it thinks it reaches the10 inch mark?
  9. Epson Dropped the Ball big time with Epson G6070 release

    it's not really hoarding, with the volume you print

  11. Mutoh XpertJet printing grays with a green tint

    it may be that you simply want to follow some of the threads & subsititute a color (grey) with eye dropper and whatever tool if you need (want) a proper grey where you can print a gradient (a grey stairstep) there is no getting around building your own profiles and scanning when you introduce a...

    sure
  13. Pinch wheel lever broke off HP 26500

    Sorry, I assumed it would be a metal part. I am obviously unfamiliar with that machine.
  14. Mutoh XpertJet printing grays with a green tint

    I know I repeat myself when this topic comes up a canned profile compensates for variations in inks, substrates, various printers TYPICAL PERFORMANCE. HOWEVER it has no ability to compensate for the unique characteristics of YOUR particular machine. get an Xrite I1 pro and run through the...
  15. Pinch wheel lever broke off HP 26500

    Or take the part to a local welding supply distributor & have someone do a “heliarc” or whatever type of repair is appropriate for that part. we have often done this type of thing when the wait for a part’s delivery would be unreasonably long

  17. Question how long before fading?

    thanks mark. the sign we are replacing is cut vinyl on aluminum, and probably 10 years old as i said i could do cut vinyl except i am not inclined to buy 8 colors of vinyl (7 pantone specified colors per their branding document + black) the old logo was single color all red and black.

    Are you serious? in 2012(?) a guy named joe ruda went to jail for 18 months or so for selling INDIAN RESERVATION CIGARETTES off the reservation. I met him, he had the same model jaguar I had. he lost his license as a liquor distributor but only had his tobacco reseller license suspended for a...
