Oh..... Its to square up your media.... Not a very high tech part. Like Bruce said, A true flatbed is the way to go. Something that prints a full 4 x 8 in no slower than 3 minutes. There are 3 row Konica i printers that print a 4 x 8 in 90 seconds. You can print it flip the board and print the...
Yeah, In 7 years, Haven't broken anything, Had I I guess I would expect to fix it. Like I said, just giving my perspective, if it doesn't align with the reality of what happened here, forget I said anything. I'm Glad your printing now.
whats an alignment bar? lol Sounds like and encoder strip or encoder reader.... What type of printer is it? Thats why I loved working on flora printers, simple...
I don't know much about Rolands. I'm not excusing or accusing the tech that worked on your printer, just giving you another perspective. I solve a lot of problems being the "dumbest guy in the room" by just taking a step back and trying to look at different logic. Your view is pretty logical. I...
I work on Flora flatbeds. From my experience, often finding the issue you have to change things out. Someone has to pay for that, you can't use something to get to the bottom of the issue then take it out and sell it to someone else. Its part of the diagnosis process, and unfortunately, techs...
I’ve been installing and repairing flora flatbeds for near 7 years. When I started our demo unit had horrible white heads.
We sold it and of course had to replace them and then we got a new demo printer.
I implemented a cleaning regiment where we flushed the white heads on Friday eve...
It was never my intention to insult anyone. I come from a production background so I don't often understand slow and steady mentalities. I'm a sarcastic person by nature, if I offend its strictly accidental, but attacking me personally is intentional, not sure which side of reason has the moral...
I'm not sure what you are arguing. I'm not trying to sell you a printer. And yes you are correct, I'm not a salesman. When I sell something its based on truth. Most of what I see here is based on some guy trying to sell something. If your perspective is different than mine great. Sorry if my...
Um..... Wow, where do I start... How about this, GREAT! Then a flatbed isn't for you. Its that simple. Heck, sign making isn't for me at all,just logic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any style or size of printing operation you have if you can make it work. The thread is about flatbed...
True, more electricity is used but ink cost is cut at least into 1/3 the cost of solvent printers if not less. Then you save money because you don't use Vinyl anymore, then you save money on labor because you aren't paying someone to apply the vinyl.
At shows I'd have people say they want...
You hit the nail on the head. Its crazy how many people improperly maintain their flatbeds. Out of the 300 Flora Flatbeds I installed, only a few take care of their printers and the biggest problem is loosing the operator I trained. Second biggest problem, the owner is the operator and he spends...
Kyocera are temperamental and expensive. Konica i are the best all around. Fast and high quality. Swiss Q uses them and others as well. You can print 4 x 8 in 90 seconds, but for fine art, slow that down to 2.5 to 3 minutes. Kyocera are two channel heads, have an issue with one color, you have...
Your Killing me with this humor. I would love to see a 3 row Gen 5 printer print a 4 x 8 in 90 seconds. Impossible.
That said, I think you are confused my friend. There's a big difference from a 1024 konica 14pl and the Printers I'm referring to which are 1024 "Konica i" 6pl printheads. Just...
A flora flatbed printer can print white amazingly and fairly fast. Maybe you should ask someone to give you some samples, and or print for you. I have a customer that prints VIP gifts for Space X on acrylic. they are displays for VIPs that fund Space X. He prints on dark acrylic and mounts...
Not sure why a hybred is the way to go? The most accurate flatbed printing is on a true flatbed clearly. Also, Hybreds don't have great suction, and the "belt" wears and gets ink on it which is hard to remove. A hybred has its advantages but for flat bed printing.... no
Looks like the image. In both pictures the darker shade of blue is too exact to be a profile or an ink issue. If it were ink starvation it should fade into a different shade. I've had people put cyan in light cyans tank and have ad it get dark and then light again because the two inks weren't...
I like how people are giving black and white advice. You can’t say “always “ because it’s just not true. I’ve found that “0ften” adhesion issues are cheap substrate. Of course if you aren’t using cheap substrate then it’s ink or lamps. How many passes are you using?
What printer can you sell under or at $100k that prints at the highest speed? There's a one pass printer that prints 500 4 x 8s an hour at 1,7 million, but realistically, lets not get confusing here. How many seconds does it take your $100k printer take to print a 4' x 8' sheet with no banding...
