if it's intermittent "rectangles" of a single channel's color it is data related. i had this happening to me with my black head once. this artifact, if like mine, will run in the direction of the pass, similar to a test print.

also, keep an eye out for air leaks. is your waste tank/tray filling up quicker than usual? if so the printer may be sweating ink while not in use.

that printer has dx4 heads, right? it would be the ribbon cable entering the heads and also on the carriage board side ports. the partnership is exhausting. we aren't completely set up. doing samples. discussing/designing catalog. training... 110 hour weeks back to back for months. i'm...

most likely the yellow data cable isn't seated all the way in.

$240 a liter seems pretty damn high for an air dry system.

marabu got back with me concerning their glass primer. they only sell it in 5 liter quantities (not sensible for doing a small test). maybe it works, maybe it doesn't but for now, i may just go back to the lab that i use for my other custom coatings and ask them what they suggest. the...

UPDATE: we got the varnish and white (after cleaning) back in the printer. i decided to put the varnish head in the white head's position because it came so clean (it had an odd checkerboard missing nozzle pattern). the white head is now in the varnish head's position. well, the former white...

the varnish is a long story. we had varnish in the printer for install but our dongle was not for varnish. so varnish sat in the printer for weeks fussing with this as we waited for the proper dongle (our particular build of printer had never been run with varnish so the dongle firmware had to...

@matt-tastic thanks for the feedback on onyx. i can stop looking. we noticed that although our white heads temps were set to 47, the head not printing as well was only getting to 45.9 we lightly heated the heads with a blow dryer monitoring the head temp until it got to 49 and 51. the...

@mrnick6 ...curves for the white. in rasterlink, the channels can be modified to cut in early late from cmyk to white. i poke around in production house and never see anywhere where my two spots have a curve adjustment so that i can set limits and linearize the white.

what CET is it? konica, spectra? for our konica heads we have our white at 45 and varnish at 47 ...ALSO for the life of me i can not find the white curves in production house. could someone type out the pathway to them? thanks

the new crop tool is infuriating. thankfully adobe provided us the "classic options" which oddly is nothing like the old crop tool. now we get to click out of crop mode because you can't move objects when the crop tool is chosen. (unless i'm missing something like hold...

i'd like to see this thread develop. both white and varnish are great and i've dialed my heat in the best i can tell as a novice. but what is the accepted/experienced heat setting range?

that is their client. you have to respect the rules if you are going to get big over time. i'd call them and tell them you were approached. then let this other shop discuss what is best to do. they may give your their blessing. they may ask for a commission. whatever happens, doing the...

if you need to clean the ink lines just get a refillable clear cart on one side then surge solvent back and forth through the lines with a syringe then exhaust the dirty fluid into the cart and reload the syringe. the printer pumps don't have enough power to create this effect.

i'll ask my print guy. he's had to edit some custom ink sets for me using onyx PH

unfortunately the sign business seems fine with what cmyk (and lm lc ...which is a waste of ink). with onyx (what rip are you using) you could turn the violet and green off and just create a profile using the usual cmyk. if you have spare channels i'd run white or varnish with them. even if...

mixing the cyan an yellow will not give you the same green. they are completely different pigments ... and the same for violet.

ink warranty? as in the prints last four years or the heads/ink are ...??? get the HP if you need very high resolution, small foot print, and will not be running it non-stop. as for "warranty" a CET (used and new) is so easy to work on i really don't need a warranty. i just pop a part on...

not sure. i believe it is the one that is referred to as the dx7 or dx6???
