  1. Seriously considering Solvent

    We've been working with UV for a while now but we just dont seem to have the luck we expect. The colour solidity is never 100% and the problems weve had have just accumulated to a point where we are considering looking for other options. We need to be able to print up to 50mm high or higher and...
  2. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    We have anti-static bars on, humidity is ok and everything is cleaned with anti-static solution. Thanks for the concern anyway. Thanks for that tech manual guys. Thats going to my whitepaper folder.
  3. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Trust me.. We've done all of that. We've slowed down the carraige to various speeds. All cables to the board have been checked. Encoder strip is pristine. The encoder sensor is perfectly spaced all the way from home to endplate.
  4. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    I dont have any problems with overspray and the banding isnt relative to the file position. It's always in the same position. Everything mechanical that could be checked, has been checked. My initial thought was that it could be a mechanical issue because of it being in the same position. After...

    Nice one mate! Congrats!!!
  7. Please help , Where I can check official price of Mimaki printer ?

    Try get a quote directly from Mimaki. Make up a stroy that you work for a distributor and you're refreshing the price database or something. It has worked for me before.
  8. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Butt in all you like my friend!!! I will send a box of cigars to whoever can solve this once and for all!!! From what I do know, this is a 2 year old machine so we're talking about a 2011/2012 build. When you say shifting the margin on the driver, do you mean actual Page header and margin...
  9. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Nicky also mentioned this. It could be a waveform issue. I have also told the techs this but they brushed it off. It could be one issue or a combination of a few. The boards used are the same as EFI however the actual machine design could be causing an issue. Whereas waveform is concerned, the...
  10. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Rastek???? Hell no. Same heads yes but the plumbing and circuitry is all still flora. They had flora inks running through the ca4s but the result was a noisy grainy print. We changed to efi ink which gives us a better quality print but we lose in the adhesion. We did think it could have been the...
  11. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    We're actually running CA4s. Im not sure which half head it is causing this but it doesnt extend the whole length. The vertical banding is present on all colours however I can try do an isolated test colour by colour. I dont think data swapping would change anything if the banding is on all...

  13. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    300 x 600, no colour profile, no extract, unidirectional grid as you said. As raw as I could get it. The print is consistent on the x axis however magenta is all over the place every 10mm on the vertical lines. Whether nozzles are firing or not, it seems consistent, just random for magenta on...
  14. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Manually pushing the carraige I do get some vibration. Its not a buttery smooth ride. I have been in the middle of a huge order , 2 x 10 hour shifts but luckily enough the majority is photographic images without too many solid colours so I can print. Once I finish off what I have in hands I am...
  15. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Stupid question or not.... The Flora machine is driven with a teflon carraige belt right? Would a steel belt similar to the Daytonas or Rasteks make any difference where this issue is concerned? Just a shot in the dark.... I had great print quality with our Rastek even though the reliability...

    I found this if it helps any. http://www.signsmanufacturing.com/glossary.htm oh.... and welcome from Portugal :covereyes:
  17. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Acceleration length didnt change anything... :banghead: Ive tried contacting nicky with the issue. Lets see what he says.
  18. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Once the profiler has finished im going to do just that. Trying to check if its due to ink limits for now. If the issue hasnt been cleared I will shoot the grid through and check. Gee artbot... thanks for the guidance mate. You're a star!
  19. Flora Flat Bed

    I am currently running one right now. In general considering the price tag, it isnt a bad machine. It seems sturdy and well built. The lamp housing and shutters are flimsy though. The vacuum is impressive. Very strong indeed and fed by 2 blowers. It has a reverse suction system which comes in...
  20. Vertical Banding on FLORA

    Its all through the print. All along the table in increments of about 1 inch. Before the tech adjusted the belt tension the badning was every 2.5 inches.
