Hey Guys,
We are having a little bit of trouble with printing on PVC Palight (Grimco Brand). We think static is playing an issue with the print heads.
We are getting Ink misting on the blank white areas - Its not a ton but it is noticeable and has been a pain to go back and clean up.
Any...
Visit Homedepot or lowes and get a small humidifier- 850 sq ft doesn’t require much. We had a humidifier for the winter and dehumidifier for the summer, we stay right around 50% for our uv printers - Spent $300 on each unit roughly - each unit is rated for up to 3500 sq ft - my shop is 2600 sq...
I’ll agree with Victor, Ronald BN 20 is really slow. It’s a great entry level printer and I’ve personally owned one. Why not just buy smaller rolls of material so you get less waste ?? I personally stay away from 1 and 2 order items, never able to pull enough profit for my time.
As Pauly Stated - 100% make sure to visit the dealer or even better visit a shop that has the equipment in action. Get onsite samples competed, Video & mailed samples are worthless. So many dealers will tell you that there machines will cut anything and will do it super fast. To truly get nice...
I would 100% contract your signs out to a B2b printer like Firesprint. Owning a flatbed is a nice though but they are a lot of work and require constant attention. Expect to pay well over $3k per year for a service contact (most likely more) they don’t cover print heads either, depending on the...
Victor what substrate are you printing on ?? Im curious if the material is not UV stable & if it is suitable for UV usage. I know Uv printable Canvas is really limited to only a few brands, Most brand are meant for ECO printers.
I know Grimco only had one brand of canvas suitable for uv...
Old Post but it ended up being the Ink (Smells horrible to start with) was soaking into the wood & not getting fully cured. Once the wood was sitting and de gassing it created a horrible smell and bad work environment. Ended up selling it at a huge loss. Canuck, Printed ACM is normally done a...
A window scraper blade works well to get extra ink off the bed and you can use a needle to clear vacuum holes. I would never purposely print directly on the bed - get some cheap paper & painter tape and have template files setup.
As Bal stated all the extra ink that goings into the table is...
Thanks for the Info DSGI,
We found it to be several small issues and a color demanding job. All problems we were able to fix on our end pretty quickly. We replaced the filters and forgot to burp the lines. Once we completed this, the print was much better. We also adjusted the negative...
Thanks For the Info Firesprint. No wet ink, I think it might have been an air bubble issue.
After talking with the dealer they helped us solve the head issue. Missed a step when changing the Filters. All of our other jobs are coming out fine now but this purple job is still giving us head...
Hey Guys,
We have a Fluid Color Flatbed printer (UV Ink) & just recently we have had issue with our Magenta print Head. When we start we clean & run a nozzle check & everything looks good. About 2 minutes into the run we start to get banding (Wrong term ?) In Certain Colors - I stopped the...
Thanks for all the reply,
We are gonna order some more blades and do some more test.
We tried testing with the router and it ended up with way too much edge edge cleanup.
Thanks for the Reply Raum, ill make sure to reach out with a blade order so we can test some new options. I think its...
