you need to pull ink from the waste hose for that specific head. when you carriage is in the home position you can pull ink from the hose that comes from the cap top of the head in question. the head soak you need to clamp off the same hose i just explained to pull ink from, put cleaning fluid...

white ink is definitely high maintenance. you need to shake the inks daily and actually use them or they are doomed to fail. i actually set up a white test print file that i would run like every other day just to run the ink. nothing fancy just a box approx 3" x the width of your material. with...

harborsales.net they have some stock size blanks and they will cut and round corners for any size you want at any qty you want

we print on chrome and or metallic materials on our uv printers all the time works great. definitely better opacity compared to solvent and eco-solvent

what about the R-tape FX metallic materials. they have solvent printable chrome. their outdoor life span is not like cast materials but may fit the bill for what you are looking to do

change cap tops and dampers (that's usually where i go first. i can do it my self and it's not expensive.) you can try pulling ink with a syringe. try a head soak over night. after those options i usually end up calling the tech in

all important questions. also if your current machine fits the bill you may not want to switch brands because you will be also switching inks and sometimes it's problem getting compatible inks for the substrate you are printing on. make sure to run some test samples with that said we have a...

you could try using an adhesive promoter and or an edge sealer

are the lockers painted? could be an issue with the paint used. maybe they changed the type/brand or maybe it's didn't cure long enough

is it just cut vinyl or is it printed and cut vinyl? if its just cut vinyl/plotter vinyl then you wouldn't need laminate or clear coat or maybe i am misunderstanding ?

interesting. will keep that in mind for our next removal. most of the time with difficult removals we use the vinyl zapper. takes off the vinyl and glue. great machine

i would use a high-tack vinyl but i generally don't do this. every time they fold it up and set it up it's going to cause issues with the vinyl. not going to last. (how long depends on how often they use it) really best if ordered with the graphics on it

harbor sales, N glantz, s & f, E&T plastics, Liard plastics. like already mentioned depends on where you are located

we usually print right on the panels with our flatbed printer but on occasion have to print on clear or trans vinyl with our roland eco solvent printers. in both cases we just do an over print which is an option in the rip program. usually that is enough to get good colors when illuminated

gerber edge was our first digital printer and a great machine. used it for years even after getting inkjet printers. thermal has a lot more capabilities of what you can do with it. you can print on colored material with no issue. you can print metallic, Flourescent as well as 4 color process...

we have solvent, eco solvent, latex and uv all have there pro's and con's and all are good at specific purposes but if all you're doing is vinyl and banners i would stick with solvent. we have had good experiences with roland up until the truvis. that was a piece of crap. also roland has done...

since the test pattern has that wave to it i would agree probably a bad head strike that caused damage to the head but along with a 24-48 hour head soak you could try pulling ink through the cap top hose with a syringe and also try changing the dampers

google hazardous waste removal or waste ink removal. there are companies that will come and pick it up. depending on how much you have you can pour in to saw dust or spill cleanup compound, let it out gas/dry and throw it in the dumpster. also check with your town, they may have a liquid waste...

unfortunately i don't think you can legally stop them as long as it isn't interfering with the job they do for you. now if they start stealing customers, materials or time then you have a reason to fire them but that's about it. you can tell them not to do it but then they will do it behind your...
