Make sure the ink end sensor is also not broken in the yellow slot. It's a little, black, plastic lever that can break very easily. If it breaks, it will flag every cartridge you install as near end which would also cause the machine not to allow you to do cleanings. And yes, if you replaced...

It looks sort of like the magnetic sensors used on the sub tanks or some other kind of sensor. You would be getting errors if it's a sensor that should be working so I'm assuming it's a left over from a past repair possibly. If there doesn't seem to be any area where wires used to go into, it's...

That looks out of whack to me for sure. You need to run the head alignments after installing a head. Also, make sure you clean the area under the head bracket. A lot of the time ink gets in there and makes it stick like glue and so the physical alignments don't actually move like they should.

You can absolutely use calendared vinyl for something like that. No laminate needed. Oracal 651, FDC 4200 series are two good calendared vinyl options that will hold up in the elements. Of course cast will last longer but overkill for something like this in my opinion. Our front door has had FDC...

Most cutters have a small memory and rely on the computer to continuously feed it data. In most cases, if that stops in the middle of a job, the computer went to sleep. Check your computer's energy saving settings and turn of sleep.

Once the chip is labeled as ink end, it is permanent. If there is a large amount of ink in the cartridge still and it was triggered in error, buy a new card and slap it on there. That will get you going. If the cartridge is actually empty, you need to get a new one. Slapping a card on an empty...

Try Ordway Sign Supply in southern California. They are a reliable Roland dealer. For 3rd party I like Bordeaux.

One of my responsibilities as a manager at Papa Johns was to send people home early if labor cost percentage got too high. Most of them were happy to leave but sometimes someone would be really mad because they needed the money. One of the worst parts of the job was sending those people home...

Yup, either run two computers or get the full blown version of Flexi and run whatever you want.

Make sure your maintenance parts are all working properly. Clean the cap top, flush the pump lines to make sure they aren't clogged. Change the cap top if it's 1-2 years old. Make sure your head height lock screws are tight. Sounds like the station just isn't getting a good seal and/or something...

Haha. Figures. It's on the public site but not the dealer site! Thanks for letting me know!

Huh. Where did you get it? I'm a dealer and the latest one they give me is 3.08!

I don't have it unfortunately.

I think I may have an idea of what's going on with this new information. Your firmware version shows 3.09. The latest version for the 1324X is 3.08. I believe you have 1324 non-X firmware installed as the latest firmware for the non-X version is 3.09. That would certainly cause issues. Have your...

How's the nozzle check look? Looks like you're missing at least some black nozzles.

Something I learned from my boss at the 1st sign shop I worked at. Never let them know how quickly you can change a design.

Looks like maybe you have a Windows registry conflict as Windows doesn't seem to think Corel is installed on your computer. That could be the case if the software is pirated or if some of the files are corrupt. Might need to do a reinstall.

Looks like an encoder issue. A lot of times a new machine will splatter grease from the rail onto the encoder strip and that can cause issues like this. Clean it with alcohol and see if that helps.

It's the pre and platen heater you want to lower. The dryer usually doesn't cause the buckling. Check the settings in your RIP. Usually the vacuum and heat settings can be controlled there. Otherwise, they should be in the Setup menu on the printer.

Turn the heat down, turn the vacuum up all the way, and clean the platen with alcohol to make sure the material isn't sticking to the platen. If none of that helps, you might need new pinch rollers.
