This literally just happened to me the other day on my S60. It was the CR duct that failed. That’s what holds air pressure in the heads.

Agree with blast. Try a matte lam or something transparent that won’t reflect.

No, they claimed it was a printer issue not an ink issue and it wasn’t worth arguing over, they just lost my business.

Avery and Oracal both sell punched roll 15” rolls. We use a fair amount as we have a few popular products still printed on the edge. It’s usually not in stock with the local distributors but we can get it in a few days.

We have had an issue with Nazdar yellow too. Thankfully it didn’t kill print heads, just pumps. We switched back to OEM and the issue went away.

We have been running a colex for many years. Great machine but ours is getting to the end of its life so time to start looking for a new one. We love colex, but probably since that is all I know. Can someone enlighten me on what makes a Kongsberg so much more expensive, especially when their...

Do you use 6MM ACM for 4x8 signs? I find the 3MM isn't rigid enough at that size. 6MM and MDO are pretty much the same price point for me.

We use a lot of MDO and have seen it a little more recently.

We use ours but mostly for some narrower web (12”) specialty materials that have to be UV printed. Works pretty well with that because the material is narrow and pretty rigid so we don’t see a ton of tracking issues. There is a guide on how to operate it in the manual which you should be able...

I might be mistaken but I think you are printing with LM and LC whether you want to/think you are or not. If the machine is setup for LM/LC then it's going to take those inks into account when building a color. We run white so we don't use LM/LC but that just means my color gamut is narrower...

Just did one the other day, 16” center, 3/4 down on a 24” wide sign.

We also make our own. We have a large customer who uses these exclusively and we used to make hundreds a year for them when houses actually went on the market to be sold lol. Since listing volume has been low the last few years we have just been using existing stock (we also install and remove...

Hey all! I have been using Nazdar inks for my FB for a while. Last few months had multiple issues and in that process found that their inks are almost the same price as OEM at this point. Who is using an alternative that they like and haven't had any issues with? We have had issues with...

I am on the hunt for an HP service tech in Miami / South Florida. I need to have a machine decommissioned and prepped for shipping on short notice. I have reached out to a bunch of places I found on the web but haven't heard back from anyone.

Same exact thing happened to me recently on my FB700 with yellow ink. Replaced a pump, filters twice, thermistor, and it started working when we changed ink manufacturers. Tech I talk to thinks it’s bad ink, not viscous enough. Ink manufacturer claims “it’s all within tolerance” after we went...
