Price drop to $3000. Anyone can buy the ink carts for $100 plus shipping. None of the carts expire until 2024. Forgot to mention that an unused Onyx Gamaprint software goes with the printer. Next stop is ebay and I'd rather not go there. Also, I put a short video of this printer printing on...

This printer is about 4 years old and is a work horse. I do printing work part time. So, it hasn't been used much. I have used 9 or 10 ink cartridges per year. It is in need of a new printhead and I need to move on. I have the service manual and service program. But, the best advice you...

I bought the service manual from https://www.sdott-parts.com/ for $10 with fast digital delivery. The manual is VERY helpful.

I've had my s40600 printer for about 3.5 years. And it has worked very well until February when about 75% of jets in channel 1 (cyan) disappeared. Because I have the service manual and service program, I thought about replacing the head and duct assy and pump assy myself. Then I thought...

I had the same problem with the same plotter about 10 years ago. I was able to fix it myself. I removed the roller and cleaned all of the "tar" off and for about $30 bought a 3M cold shrink tube. I put the tube on the roller and trimmed off the excess. The 3M tube isn't the same thickness...

Thanks swordguy3222. I will definitely do that. I think it's called a head washing. I did that about a year ago and it did help. If I'm remembering right, I can wash just 2 colors instead of all 4.

Is there an easy way to access the ink drain tubing that's under the cap tops on a s40600 to see if one is plugged? Or is this something that only the most competent tech can do? All of a sudden I have lots of jet dropout in the top 5 lines of C1. Running cleaning cycles just makes it worse...

Thanks for your reply SignMeUpGraphics. I've never let any color run out so that it would say "Replace Ink Cartridge." I replace a cartridge when it's weight is about 8 oz. When the printer was new, I replaced cartridges as soon as the Low Ink message appeared on the screen. But, I saw that...

I've had this printer for 3 years. There were no real problems the first year. Then, one day, I ran a light cleaning and it wouldn't stop cleaning. As soon as the 3.5 minute cleaning cycle ended, it started another cleaning cycle, and another, and another. It did this for 5 times, before I...

Many thanks, Colin. I believe you nailed it.

Could some one please take a stab at this one? Thanks in advance.

Why not check to see if you can use a syringe and push cleaning solution through the maintenance station. I had a 1204 and several times the drain lines would get badly stopped up. The ink would just turn into a tar-like mess in one or both of the lines. Sometimes it was so bad that I had to...

Thanks Dale and MorePerfectSign for your suggestions. I think I have found a solution that works the way I want it to. I can open page 1 - 36 in Adobe AI, click on Artboard and select 4 pages per row. And, BAM they are grouped in 4 rows and 9 columns and spaced like I want them to be. I give...

Thanks for your help, rjssigns and Scotchbrite. That "spacing" tool and "distribute" tool won't do everything I'd like for them to do, but they will save some time positioning the pages. I appreciate your help.

A customer emailed me a file to print, laminate and cut. The file has 165 8.5"X11" pages with the cut lines around each page. Each page has a different identifying number in it. Looks to me like Flexi v21 can only import files 2 way: one at a time or all of them at once, side by side, in one...
