Try loosening the screws that hold that plate on and see if relieving any stress lets it line up better. Good Luck

You can use the generic HPGL driver in Omega. Make sure that your plotter is set to HPGL command language. Good luck

So the recommended environment from Roland's website is: Temperature: 68 to 89.6 °F (20 to 32 °C), humidity: 35 to 80 % RH. If you want to print outside the recommendations, I don't think you should be blaming the manufacturer if you don't get good results. The tech found a way around the...

Go into the three lines menu - select "Media Management" then pick the profile that you're using and go into the list of Media Settings - it's way down the list.

Foil and vinyl drive tends to show up as banding across the vinyl. Since this goes with the vinyl, you're looking at something electrical or something creating a physical issue. Have you replaced the foil and vinyl squeegees or at least cleaned them? Have you cleaned the print head with the...

What profile are you using? This could be just too much ink. It's hard to tell from the picture what is really going on. Can you post a picture of your nozzle test print? They can reveal more than just missing nozzles if you know what you're looking for.

Make sure that you have the FC8600 selected in Flexi and not the FC8600 GPGL. Also, this could be caused by noise on your data cable. If you're using USB, make sure that you don't have any extensions or hubs between the plotter and the computer. Try a new USB cable. Check for updated USB...

That sounds like a great deal on the trade in. Probably better than selling it yourself. Other things would be just the same as any new purchase, make sure you get sample prints done with the inkset you're planning on getting. Watch them print if possible, otherwise ask them how long it takes...

It's hard to tell. You should get a cheap hygrometer so you know where your humidity is and if your even close to your target. If there's not a lot of air exchange between your print room and other rooms, you may be able to affect it in a positive way. Good Luck

I'm pretty sure this is in the HP version - select your shape Go to the Arrange Menu>Contour Cut>Make Contour Cut. Good Luck

If your nozzle test looks good and this is only in cyan, my mind goes to static issues. This is material dependent, but if your relative humidity is below 40%, you're asking for trouble. Make sure that your environment is within the specs for your machine - generally 40 - 60% RH and 68 - 88 F...

That's why I use the forceps AND keep a bag of them in my kit.

You can actually do both kiss cut and perf cut on either the cut strip or the over the groove with a Graphtec. No need to switch tool positions. Just make sure that you calibrate your settings for the position you cutting over. Both are good machines IMHO and I don't think you'd regret...

They come in bags of 20. PN: 31299102AS. I can usually reuse them by separating the two pieces and pinching the rivet closed with a pair of forceps, but sometimes the angle of approach doesn't allow it. Good Luck

I've used this one for years and have had many customers use it as well. It shows up as a Com Port in device manager and you need to check there for settings so you can connect properly.

A little late to the party here, but sounds like you got good advice on the limit position and the encoder seems to be working. The system switches should all be on "0" in most cases. And don't make any switches without knowing what you're doing. We seldom go in and change those. As for the...

Another tip would be to do both your kiss cut and perf cut in the same place. Either over the channel or over the cut strip. You'll get a better quality cut over the cut strip but you will have to budget replacing the strip more frequently, but doing it in the same place will keep you from...

When we take one back, we e strip out the electronics and ink system and take the rest to the metal recycler down the road and get a pizza with the money.

It's all in the driver - or not in the driver in Graphtec's case. It's really not that difficult to do it at the plotter. It just depends on what you're used to. I was raised on Graphtec and I have to think twice when I go to teach this on a Summa plotter. Good Luck

First off, a VS is an old printer. Decide how much you're willing to invest in this before you get too far. Then start with the basics - Cap top, damper, wiper and wiper scraper - Go with OEM parts. Then if you still have problems, it's likely the print head, but you've already replaced the...
