Yes. The most common material used for banners is 13oz although there are a few different types you can choose. Call your local supplier and ask them what they carry. I believe Milano Digital should have some.

A lot of people just starting out will sub out all printing to someone like Firesprint or Signs365. They will print and laminate it for you at wholesale prices. Then you can focus on building the business, designing, installing, and when the time comes to grow, you can get your own equipment...

Take out the yellow cartridge that is empty and run a cleaning cycle or two. You can run the machine with only one of each color with that setup. It probably just hasn't been able to pull ink down for a while and once it can pull from the good cartridge, it should start flowing again. If that...

I worked in a sign shop before outdoor durable inks were a thing and the way you made this sign is the way we made all of our signs. These days with outdoor inks, it's much less common but not obsolete. Printing the whole thing and applying it with a laminator is so much more efficient that most...

I would check all head alignments as well. This is a weird one though because it looks like it's out of alignment but usually when it's out of alignment it affects all colors. The only way I can think of it only affecting certain colors is maybe someone was playing around with the unidirectional...

Power on while holding function and remote.

Make sure you turn off color correction or use the spot color replacement tool to set the color to 100% black when sending the file over. That way it will tell the printer to only print 100% black. If you use color correction, it will add in the other colors even if you set them to 0.

Yeah I'd get a second sample maybe from a different Epson dealer. A calibrated Epson should be top notch quality. Also, keep in mind that, no matter how high resolution a printer you print with, it won't improve a low resolution image.

If you have an older model, MSA version 4 doesn't require a login and you can do all the tech stuff like updating firmware. Newer models require MSA 5 and a login though.

Check your head cables. The VS-540 model is one of the only DX7 head machines that has a special head cable. 3 of them are standard and 1 of them is reversed. You can't just flip a standard one around on one end either because the pins will still be reversed. Most errors like these are due to...

We transitioned from a sign supply warehouse like Fellers/Grimco etc. to 99% online parts sales about 15 years ago. We still have a few walk-ins and it's by far the most inefficient and least profitable part of our business. Enjoy your new found freedom!

That part only comes with the cutter tool carriage. Feel free to shoot us an email and I can get you a quote. support@solventiunkjet.com

I believe it's only on the newer models unfortunately. You wouldn't want to try to put the 330 firmware on for sure as the 330 uses different heads. Even if all the sensors etc. are the same, the head specs are completely different. You can setup your 300 to automatically print jobs from...

Make sure you've installed the latest Mimaki USB driver. Then choose, "USB_Printer_0" as your port. The USB Printer 0 option will only show up in the list if the driver is working and the plotter is connected and powered on.

I forgot about HP!

For every brand of printer, you'll get people who love them and hate them. A lot of it comes down to which dealer you buy from and how good their support is. In my experience, most people who have really bad experiences with a machine are early adopters. The Roland TruVis series had some issues...

Yup. You just give it the info you want to portray and how you want it said and it will spit it out in seconds. If it comes out and sounds condescending or not very professional, you just say, do it again but more professional and it spits another one out in seconds. What a world we live in.

Boot up the machine and don't send a job to it. Then go to the Information menu and check the error history. Hopefully whatever error is occurring has been logged and that will give more info about what's going on. Unfortunately my first hunch is a main board malfunction but it could be many...

I got the simple one. It's good for getting paint colors or RGB values but that's about it.

Those machines have lasted much longer than their peers of the same generation. Parts like heads, dampers, cap tops, pumps are going to be around for a while. The only parts you need to worry about are PCBs and there are plenty of used machines sitting around to steal from. I'd keep it if you...
