contone Not at work, so I may not describe this 100% accurately. On our machine, when using a profile built using the "Contone" workflow - all inks show up as being used 100%. They're not actually being used AT 100%. But Onyx defaults to reporting 100% usage. We use the stochastic workflow...

:roflmao:

Transclucent Use a name brand Translucent (we use 3M 3630) media for lexan. Yes, it's more expensive. It's the correct product for the job. We apply with rapid tac, one of the few things we do that we don't apply dry.

When was the last time you cleaned the print head? Just fishing here, but I would do all maintenance items and test print again.

Do you remember the exact media you used? (ie the 3M media #) Not that it makes a HUGE difference in your question, but it certainly may help if we know which media it was. Maybe even the laminate as well.

Note: That holder matches ours, which I know is genuine. We did buy a generic one (holder) once... it is in the landfill somewhere now.

Yes, it's not high build. Will take a lot of paint to prime it properly. What you save in material (paint) costs you will burn up in labor with countless coats of 'regular' primer. HDU sucks up A LOT of paint.

High Build Primer We've tried them all. Stick with the FSC, you will be happy you did.

Dry Only Apply Dry, from the top down.

Maybe... I read through this real quick, so if this was mentioned I apologize. Is it a calibration issue? Weather Uni or Bi are the dots from each pass going back on top of the previous dots? When we see this (we only have roll-fed) it's often a calibration issue. I fully respect that in...

yellow Could just be the pic you took of the printed ink limit, but I don't see your yellow channel... anywhere.

The amount that you will save on material will be lost in labor costs during application.

Agree. From the image provided it looks like the head was physically damaged by hitting something.

Can you tell us what exact media and laminate you're using? I totally appreciate the fact you didn't want to have this turn into a thread that "bashed" a certain media/manufacturer.

Very Nice!

Profiles First: I do not have this printer - But.... Second: Are you using manufacturer profiles or building your own?

Edit: Deleted. Didn't realize it was an old thread. My bad.

I'll bite. At the very least, we need more info than that picture...

File Type What is the file type? If it is an .eps try saving as a .pdf and printing that way. I realize that may sound ridiculous but occasionally that can solve print anomalies.
