there are only two types of encoder strips out there for printers 150lpi and 180lpi. i'm certain that a generic encoder strip would perform the same as an OEM strip. ...just a laser copy on a strip of PET

it's only a matter of time before the sign reads "OGIR" i think the old one looks way to crafty. new one looks too brunch-ish. both are a bit of a fail.

so you will print on raw aluminum the coat with a liquid overlaminate? no way. total failure. if you must print on an aluminum finish, at least use dibond which already has a tested coating over the aluminum so that both your ink and laminate will have something to bind to. liquid clears...

when diagnosing between heads, it's not necessary to screw them into place, just plug them in and tape them to the carriage and let them go for a ride on the carriage on start up. after this you'll need to move to data swaps to isolate between the head and the slider board ports.

i'd send us a pic of that test print. in my experience, continued cleaning to "save" dx4 heads destroys them. the blurriness you are seeing might be evidence of that.

no. it's from the user manual pdf. i screen capped it. i added the red circle/arrow.

...i'm having an issue with the horizontal scaling/calibration being off. don't think i've ever had a horizontal calibration on any printer. it's supposed to be locked to the encoder strip.

argh. thanks. so what do the locks do?

funny you should ask. struggling with that one right now. would love to close out this day knowing i'm ready to go tomorrow. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?114236-ONYX-Postershop-7-%28size-constrain-issue%29

i need to alter the width of the printed image. when i get to "Preview and Size" tab. i see little locks next to "Width", "Height", and "Magnification". i need to constrain the height, but slightly compress the width. i've calculated that i need to compress it .996%. when i hit "apply" i...

if it fits your model yes. a start up needs all the "professionalism" it can get to get credibility. it might pay for itself as well when new clients are judging your new business. i particularly like the calendar aspect of it. my startup a few years back, didn't go with signvox and we had...

i think i have experienced this. just didn't have an explanation for it. ended up always scaling the rip file by 102.5% (or something) one direction after giving up on the calibration side. i'll do a few tests to see if a percentage will effect accurately the measurement across the gantry...

any time, sending off boards for repair, it's best to send both. macmedia is a super honest company. they'll depending on the damage, they'll repair one, both, or neither if they check out as good. you can often see the damage looking closely, sometimes not.

i prefer to cut first and print second for many projects. you don't get quite the speed of or yield out of the process but there's usually less risk involved if you are concerned about the edge of the ink chipping out due to the cnc bit. if it is acrylic, this may cause issues in that you...

in the end, my main board was also toasted. i'd contact macmedia to see if they do board repair on that model. buying new boards is not the way to go.

i'll look at it. it's not stair stepping. but who knows what kind of stops/counting this machine has with servos and such. i don't think i ever recall having the horizontal off on a single printer.

never noticed that my printer is printing wide. (daytona h700) just did a test and it printed a 55" x 55" box results 55" deep exact 55 3/16" wide? how does one adjust the horizontal width? the rip shows no compensation or the firmware window that i can see. thanks! aa

developed a very odd solution for working with the old CET. instead of attempting to "wipe off" the static, we simple would lay anti-static sheets about every 20 inches or so. in about five to ten minutes, they would draw the static off the sheet. wiping with anything would always cause some...

now i'm afraid to turn on my daytona h700. these entries are horrifying. i'll be putting a cleaning valve system on my printer in the next few weeks (have the parts, just too slammed). i'll post the photos of how the mod goes.

surely there are several closer not requiring international shipping. you might contact macmedia and ask them for a referral. they'll be more in the know of who would be a good source.
