  1. Problems with the Cyan head...

    The latest update is that the Print Head Manifold replacement did not change the situation. Got a hold of our personal Tech (thank god) After telling him the issue with Nazdar/Lyson. He gave me a couple of things to try and he also suggested we talk to Nazdar and ask them what to do. After...
  2. Controling dust on media before printing

    Use your vinyl more often. Try not to store it on the ground. - i.e: get a wall mounted storage rack or create one so that your rolls aren't sitting on the ground either end up or otherwise. Don't store your rolls near ANY vents, AC or Heating. We typically mark on the roll where the...

    :thankyou:
  4. Anyone sell prelaminated 3m film?

    :popcorn: Prelaminated film? I gotta see this.
  5. Barricade Banners

    If its a one day event, who cares? Just do it so it looks nice the day of the event and forget about reinforcing them. The Double sided/banner tape will hold for a day for sure. Maybe you could set up the banners like Barricade covers. maybe like Tent tarp over a frame? Don't over think a...
  6. best orange

    Wouldn't the "best orange" be a relative term. The real question is what kind of orange are you looking for. If you're trying to get a bright, neon orange like Gatorade. Not gonna happen. If you want just a basic orange. Get a Process Pantone Chart printed and look at the spectrums. For each...
  7. print looks like it is streaking or washed out

    Perfect example: http://www.cmykparts.com/MIMAKI%20JV3.html This site has the exact same piece as my previous posted link but for $35. Why pay $35 for that part when the other site is selling it for $7??? Look around and you can find better deals. Don't just buy from the first site.
  8. print looks like it is streaking or washed out

    You may haver over paid. I wouldn't pay more then $20 for any Dampers. Little pieces of plastic shouldn't cost that much. Do some research cause I've seen them priced all over the sky. From $40 to as low as $7/pc Check out this site...
  9. Tips on vehicle window perf install

    I rarely inset my window perf when installing. I usually apply right to the window edge and cut it along the glass line or the rubber seal line depending on whats there. What we have found to be sucessful is to use Primer 94 along the window edges. Use a small brush and run it around the outter...
  10. Ford Transit Connect (the new baby sprinter)

    Nice wrap by the way!
  11. Ford Transit Connect (the new baby sprinter)

    I have done 4 of them just in the last year! Two wraps and two vinyl decal jobs. They are slick and quick when it comes to installations. And businesses like them because they have alot of storage room for deliveries but apparently get stellar gas milage for a delivery/hauling vehilce. Silly...
  12. Problems with the Cyan head...

    Thanks all for the advice. I think we have isolated the problem to be the Print head Manifold/adapter that acts as a secondary filter to the damper. The part has been ordered and hopefully we get it by tomorrow. Thanks Artbot for all the help/advice/assistance in getting to the root of the...
  13. Mimaki Technitian Wanted

    Thanks for all your advice, we will be looking into the guys (and gals) at Advantage if this problem presists. Right now, I think I have isolated the problem to a situation that I can deal with (Thank you Artbot) for the help! Thank you all for your suggestions.
  14. Mimaki Technitian Wanted

    We bought it from Pitman/Charrette. We know people over at Advantage - thats Advantage Sign Supply I'm guessing. Again we don't want just some ordinary tech. We have dealt with the ordinary techs. They have been less then reliable. And for whatever reason we can't get our usual guy out of...
  15. Mimaki Technitian Wanted

    Probably only looking for an IL local one. Don't want to pay for travel expenses other then car milage I'm guessing.
  16. Mimaki Technitian Wanted

    Does anyone on here know of a GOOD Mimaki Technitian (in/from/around Illinois - Chicago) that they would recommend? We're having some problems on our JV3 160SP and I've exhausted all of the knowledge that I know as a user. If you're interested in my current problem referance "Problems with the...
  17. Problems with the Cyan head...

    Bot - you mentioned something about too much negative pressure. How do you relieve the pressure to a postive level if thats the issue?
  18. Problems with the Cyan head...

    I have done multiple ink fills and multiple cleanings, multiple suctions. I even changed out damper on the side that wasn't working out. its now staying consistantly bad - which in consideration of the previous problem is better then we were, but never the less - still isn't good enough. I'm at...
  19. Problems with the Cyan head...

    We use Lyson/Nazdar inks - not my choice - we had no problems until we switched. The cartridges are new. I changed out the one at 10% just to be sure it had ink in it. The other one has plenty of ink.
  20. Problems with the Cyan head...

    So I should try and pull ink directly from the dampers themselves? Or pull one and pull from the back like a hard suction?
