Has anyone found a way to get around the expired ink on Acuity's? Our Acuity F isn't used much anymore and it rejected the black in the machine. Unfortunately my black on the shelf was expired too. I tried changing the date in Windows but everytime you reopen the software it changes back.
I...
Interesting. We build our own profiles with a Caldera TotalColor spectrometer. Can print some really nice oranges and reds on another flatbed.
Patric says it's a Caldera issue that they need to fix on their end. The only way we have been able to get around it is to print at 400 density.
I will...
I ran into this on our old Acuity flatbed. The printheads would produce a good nozzle check but I couldn't ever get a good flood of white. We had one of the lead techs out and he replaced everything related to white ink and it ended up needing new print heads.
We had electrical issues when we first got the printer that were causing a lot of problems. Very first production job we had the color was dropping out left and right. It was frustrating at the time because we couldn't get anyone out because of covid.
The machine has been better after we got...
Their inks stick really good. We have only had a handful of chipping issues that I think were media related.
parrott you must do a lot of coroplast on 3pass?
We have did 1 large acrylic job on our Trufire that was knocking sheets out much faster than our Acuity, even at 15pass for the white...
White issues is only because we don't ever run it on our Trufire. I was just looking for opinions from people that run white a lot. We do a lot of small acrylic awards on our Acuity right now. Not necessarily looking to print those jobs faster but we need to do the other daily work faster than...
Does anyone have experience running both machines? Looking to replace an older flatbed printer soon. We have a Trufire that runs all our large runs. We haven't ran a lot of white on the Trufire. The printer we are replacing does all the white jobs. Trying to decide which does white jobs better...
Can't you just mask off the rest of the bed? You would have to do that on a non HFV option too. My understanding is that the HFV version is designed for hard to suck down materials, like warped wood or warped cardboard
Was wondering from people that have a Vanguard flatbed how fast you can do a sheet of acrylic backed with white ink? I would imagine you have to run the white on higher passes
What ink set are you using? When I ran one of those printers we had KI and had the same issues. No matter what I did you would always see streaks/fingerprints. We changed over to KA ink and the adhesion was a lot better and it covered all fingerprints and streaking
We have a Acuity F (6170) that has 1.1 million sq ft in 4 years. Not sure if that's considered high but we also had an Inca S40 so most big production jobs that didn't need white ink went on there.
The Digitech Trufire is similar. Believe they use the same or similar heads. We got one a couple months ago and haven't been a fan. A lot of issues for a new printer. Always heard good things about the Vanguard on here though.
