  1. designjet L26500 not accepting printhead

    Always clean printhead contacts and ink cartridge chip with alcohol prior to install. Those contacts covered with some oily stuff preventing from oxidation.
  2. new refillable cartridges... Trapped air question.

    Thanks for your offer. It might work well but I've already swiched to latex and enjoy trouble free period of my life.
  3. new refillable cartridges... Trapped air question.

    you're welcome. In addition, the cartridge has two sections, small and big. Small part is a indicator. You don't need to top up everyday. Ink in the small section stands still, while ink in the big section drops according to usage. When ink in the big section is not visible, then fill it up. If...
  4. new refillable cartridges... Trapped air question.

    You just leave the small holes open. That is a breather. When you need to remove the cartridge, then both holes should be closed.
  5. Suggestions Epson P20000 vs Canon IPF 9400

    Based on my early experiences, it's all about comparision of costs effectiveness, color reproduction and speed. If you choose Z6800 you will get 2-3 times less cost on ink and consumables than other 2, ifp 9400 best color and more speed, but on p20000 just get easier paper handling. I think the...
  6. Chinese Printer.

    In addition, I had same problem on my Roland ended up it was one fuse, one of 8 transistors in mainboard were blown
  7. Chinese Printer.

    You couldn't find this printer's manual from here, even if you found it you will understand nothing. If I were you I would do following. Audley is a chinese second largest laminator manufacturer, I know its laminator prices not printers' but I bet it costs about 5000 USD, shipping to Caribbean...
  8. Roland Ink Scam?

    I do, some models have empty mode. It can bypass empty cartridge warning, but has a risk to get air in the tube.
  9. Roland Ink Scam?

    440ml doesn't mean 440g. Since we don't know the carrier, drier and pigment ratio of this ink and density each of them we can't calculate simply by weight. 1ml water is 1g, but 1 ml gas 0.71g, 1ml acetone 0.78g.
  10. New Guy The 50-year-old Startup

    Why don't you be 1100th employee? I think you'd learn from your father while helping him the contracting business. I guess it will be yours anyday. If you really love to do signs then you can invest your time and money into it. But it seems your dad's sign shop too far behind the competitors...
  11. Sign Maker / Car Wrapper / Media Designer From Germany Q&a

    I guess, your plan to move is related to current situation in Germany and your worry about your children's future not about your job, right? You just want to be politically correct. My sister is German citizen, when she lived in a border city, there was a mess. She asked me whether she move to...
  12. Roland Rs-640 My Prints Are Coming Up Short?

    RS should be at least 4 years old, so worn pinch rollers can't grip media well, I guess.
  13. Seiko 508gs Or 510 35pl

    510 35PL is basically the same as 255 35PL only twice wider i.e 7 cm. If you talking about chinese printers, use SK4 ink clogging should not occur. You need to check voltage and temperature settings of the heads constantly. Keep your room below 20C degree. If you are going to buy from China...
