That's where it gets maddening. I printed a job on 12mm Black PVC (stock not digitally rated). Adhesion failed. We turned the lamps down from 100% to 70% and it worked great. We just ordered some dyne pens. I'm really hoping this helps with the prep. If i know a sheet is going to be a problem...

I guess that does make sense. That's how I usually do my Haptic print files. I never made the connection though. Most of my Haptic test prints are smaller in size due to the longer print times and copious amounts of white ink that has to be laid down first to gain the texture. I will definitely...

We are going to do some tests with the AP3155. Also a good thought on manufacturing changes. That is something that I haven't actually considered yet. Thank you for the list as well. It will no doubt come in handy.

We are looking into the dyne pens. I believe the dyne level of our inks are relatively similar. Unfortunately we only have the setup for CMYKW. We have a bottle of AP3155 and yeah it smells awful. We haven't used it since we purchased the VK300D. The High Adhesion inks were supposed to have...

Well, that's where it gets infuriating. Initially my lamps were @100%. Had been for some time with little or no issues. We started have adhesion problems. I contacted Vanguard and they told me that my lamps were too high that the ink was curing before it had a chance to bond with the material...

Hahaha. Yes it is dry when the printing starts. I actually just did that test friday and let it set over the weekend. I'll be checking in on it shortly.

It is 100% adhesion. The color only peels off if there is white is laid down first. We have used adhesion promoter on ACM. Oddly enough on a piece that was already digitally rated. It failed.

It seems so intermittent. We initially had our lamps @ 100. The issue as it was explained to me then, was that it was curing before it had a chance to bond with the material. We turned the lamps down to 70% and things seemed to work out better over all. Now we run into the same issue and I was...

Here is some 1" Acrylic and 3mm Black ACM

I run a VK300D-HS. 5-Head setup so only 1 channel of white. I use the Vanguard High Adhesion inks. The issue that I am running into is this: We print just color on a piece of white material. No adhesion issues. Doing the same print with a layer of white under it, fails 7/10 times. I clean...

Just started having this issue on black PVC when laying down white for a print. I was told that the ink that we are using is already high adhesion. Does that mean that it gets worse hahaha?

I'm not sure that you can. I wanted to try but my boss wasn't having it. Issue is, the vac is hardwired to the printer and is a special purpose 220VAC plug. After speaking to a friend who is an HP tech, I found out that they're basically designed to only last about a year or so. Sorry I couldn't...

In regards to no longer using HP ink. Who are you going through now? Just out of curiosity.

I recently discovered a place that sells UV ink for our FB700 for a considerable amount less than the supplier we have been using. However I am not sure as the the consistency of the pigmentation from batch to batch. Has anyone dealt with Sun Data Supply before for this particular purchase?

Having the same issue here. Looking to save a couple of bucks. Does anyone know what a comparable shopvac would be for this application?

I have been having a similar but different issue. I have installed the white and the homogenizer. Doing all of the maintenance and print tests. The white seems to work just fine. However, when I go to print out say a white filled rectangle it prints absolutely nothing. Can't seem to rectify the...

I just started "running" my companies print room. The last guy that ran this machine was not detail oriented. The belt is pretty bad and kinda built up in certain spots. Do any of you think that the IPA and shrink wrap method is a feasible one for this particular instance?
