If so then you need to cut out what it hits What about P600 as UV printer ? Is there more room for uv diodes ? What about uv cartridges ? Are they available ? Or using standard uv dampers and bottles is better way ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxalford Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 6 ink heads are probably more cost effective you can get a replacement head for about 1/10th of the price of the 8 ink heads and you do have to replace a few heads, UV light and temp have a lot to do with how long a head lasts I was replacing heads every few weeks until I figured out the light was reflecting off the tray back onto the print head and was slowly curing the ink in the head another one is temp I cant print below 16 deg c as the ink will not flow properly through the head if the heads are capped properly you can leave them for a couple of weeks with no problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompoko Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 I tested my little 60w module..today .... as suggested by few guys I moved it a bit up let say 4-5mm over printing head level to cover wider area and avoid polymerisation on the head itself ...I tested full platen printing and it works fine ....constant current led driver used ...seems like it is scratch proof ..too I was not able to scratch it easy even with sharp knife .... more testing soon module is water cooled I will use 5-10l of destiled water and fish tank pump...Today I used 45l but it is too risky to have such big capacity...heasink is almost freezing but uv under seem to be so strong I may even set dimmer to way lower power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anum11 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) i think you would need to replace eco solvent print head for uv along with all ink lines, dumpers and catridges and maybe cap. dx5 uv head is like this for example: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/original-mimaki-jv33-printer-jv5-printhead_60726433769.html?spm=a2700.7724857.normalList.12.3f001800l124Fo&s=p Edited September 30, 2019 by anum11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can fire 3-4 times more white ink and about 2x cmyk on a pass. edit: also r1400 clogs faster.

Hmm my friend use led uv ink in 1500w for more than 2 years already .... never had any clogs ....and was not aware of cleaning caping station too:) so seems like it is not as bad.... of course on my L1800 I hade to replace dampera anb tubes plus caping station tubes to solven friendly and uv blocking ones..... otherwise it seems to works fine .... i have tested some uv ink under day light and it not cure... cure well when strong uv lamps is used close to it ....
