  1. Encad/Novajet - mixing cartridges

    Hi, I have an Encad 850 with GX ink and official Encad carts - I do not use a decoder at present. Does anyone one know if you can mix GS with GX cartridges in a set of 4 carts. Thanks
  2. Encad Septum Length

    I have a 'prime' issue - ie poor prime on an Encad 850 - low pressure in the lines, we are going to replace the cartridge septums, I see we can buy longer stem septums than what we presently have (left image) - anyone know what the difference is - between short and long stemmed septums:
  3. Any help with this print problem appreciated

    Now it is winter, the issue with the last image seems to have gone (black streaks in the tram lines). Is there a way of measuring static - and getting rid of it - our electricities 'earthing' is 'sufficient' but not what it could be - according to a sparky. I am wondering if it is a 'prime'...
  4. Any help with this print problem appreciated

    Hi I have an Encad 850, run as just CMYk (1x4). Using GX inks, onto a coated poly 200mic. When running out a full tint, I do not get a reliable flat colour ... Where the tint is broken by text - ie on the red image - you can see the red runs slightly lighter. On other prints I get 'stripes'...
  5. Ink droplets during output of solids

    We have an old Encad 850 - that still serves us well. I have an on going problem with ink droplets a while after start of print, when I run solids. I have suspected ill fitting septums or some form of leak in the system letting the vacuum drop - but I have changed septums and trimmed off 2mm...
  6. Silicon Spray on feed in rollers

    Thought I'd update this weird problem. Have tried the silicon remover on the solid upper guide wheels - but still no joy. Maybe the silicon has penetrated the rubber rollers underneath, and when the top and bottom set of rollers are in contact they get recontaminated. I remember on Offset...
  7. Onyx 10 - printing a barcode ??

    We dont have a cutter, so was surprised when it run out the job with a barcode, we should really go out and buy a cutter as we put out jobs now and again, and think its always better to have this stuff inhouse.
  8. Onyx 10 - printing a barcode ??

    Ahh yes, found I'd selected a default Contour Cutter somehow ... guess the barcode simply tells the printer to then go get data from the cut server once its printed.
  9. Onyx 10 - printing a barcode ??

    Hi, I have Onyx Production House 10 with an Encad 850, both had plenty of use - but today it printed a barcode top and bottom of the print - never had the software or printer do that before, and cant find a setting in the Onyx software that would make it do that - checked the PDF that was run -...
  10. Onyx 10, printing to a network windows spooler

    Hi I have Onyx Prod House v10 on windows 7. I want to forward or print jobs from Onyx to a printer/spooler on an old Windows 2000 desktop, it would be preferable to spool first on the Win7 then, send those to the spooler on the Win2k machine, but if I have to go direct from Onyx to the...
  11. Part of image missing when tiling on Onyx 10

    HI I have a 6.0x2.5mt graphic tiled over 6 drops (1.0x2.5mt ea). The last two panels had some parts of the image missing, a white bar through one image on one panel, and on the other - half the image (quite a large part of the panels area) completely missing. The file was a PDF/X-1a:2001 1.3...
  12. Silicon Spray on feed in rollers

    Thanks for the suggestions - funnily I have just bought some of that silicon remover - its an idea ! It is a synthetic Poly-prop media, and it is very sensitive, has to be handled carefully. The are several of these grip rollers along the width of the printer. most are fine, but some not. And...
  13. Silicon Spray on feed in rollers

    Hi, I have managed to get silicon spray onto the upper take in rollers of my Encad 850 (the tiny solid rollers that sit over the rubber feed in rollers below) - it seems to have impregnated itself :( When printing I get streaks down the print (ie the ink doesn't sit flat on the media where...
  14. Onyx 10 Prod House - Multi Page PDF

    Sorry been away for a while - I have one PDF with several pages in it, Onyx only sees the first page :( just run a simple 4pp PDF - but it only saw one page. Thanks
  15. Onyx 10 - tile crop mark omitted when 'submit as separate tiles' checked
