  1. Found an Incredible Squeegee - Cheap Wrap Tools

    Awesome to see you on here and to hear about more tools coming soon! We ordered 5 or 6 squeegees yesterday for our guys to try out; I'll post up their true responses once we get them for those interested.
  2. Need Help Epson S80600 service manual

    I have one for a 30670, but those are slightly different. Could the bushings be work out on the rails? Can you see what part is dragging? The media sensor can come loose and hang down.
  3. Need Help Epson S80600 service manual

    You can adjust the head height easily (3 settings IIRC) within your material settings on the front of the printer. If it is still hitting then you either have a materials/heat/humidity issue (buckling) or a major mechanical issue.
  4. Gerber envision won’t cut through vinyl

    Definitely multi-cut this combo.
  5. Gerber Edge 2 print head totally shot?

    What have you tried cleaning that printhead with? You should ONLY use 99% ISO Alcohol to clean it , try cleaning it a few more times and see if it gets better. It looks like it has tape stuck on it. I've never seen one print as bad as the sample you're showing me due to a bad head, usually it is...
  6. Suggestions Temporay Decal Material

    Gerber Instachange
  7. Bar Code Generator

    Composer also has one in the repeats/merge area!

  9. Found an Incredible Squeegee - Cheap Wrap Tools

    Thanks for the tip, just forwarded their link on to our purchasing dept. Now, if someone would just make the 3M tools....
  10. Need Help Flexiprint basic / HP latex 310 color consistency

    I cannot help you, but I wanted to add that I struggled with VERY similar issues and they turned out to be un-solvable and we sold our latex and went back to solvent. One thing that may work is running 5+ ft of "garbage" to warm the printer up and change the environment before you start your...
  11. S40600 ink cart NOT empty

    I don't recommend this for a sign shop, but I do have a friend who saves all his empties and also collects the empties from other local shops running the same printers and dumps the colors into the bulk cartridges (shake vigorously, lol) and runs those in his JV3 solvent printers for years now...
  12. S40600 ink cart NOT empty

    You don't want to deal with it sucking dry and getting ink in the lines every time it "runs out", so this is what you have to deal with as opposed to that. We don't like it much either, we have 2 and run the MCS (higher priced inks) in ours, and change out multiple carts daily with our volume...
  13. Service Error 0110

    You can clean the sensor also, that was normally the cause of this error when I had a Roland.
  14. Y Axis Encoder Failure

    No one here can point me to where this sensor is?
  15. About EPSON s80600 Metallic print

    We have the s70675 and I think the metallic out of it sucks, never had a real use for it. When we bought our new printer we just went with a 60600 (dual cmyk).
  16. I need a great picture of a wine cellar

    You should be fine with a final print resolution around 75 dpi and not have "pixelation" issues if you can find a large image. 300 DPI isn't needed or even possible; that's just for fine text on things people are going to be reading up close. Photoshop's "Preserve Details 2.0" re-sampling...
  17. Need Help Illustrator placing problem

    Try: change the color mode, change the image dimensions slightly (you can always change them "back" later). I think one of those things fixed it for me recently. Even a reboot might clear your issue up.
  18. Problems installing drivers for JV3-160 SPII

    PM Me your email and I will put you in touch with a local guy that will sell you parts. He bought our old machines and has parts machines.
  19. Y Axis Encoder Failure

    We purchased a used EnVision 375 and everything worked perfect the first time we plugged it in, then we turned it off and on again and it hasn't worked right since. As soon as it finishes booting up the carriage head slams itself into the left wall and says "Y Axis Encoder Failure". Where is...
  20. Best Printer Settings for Backlit Banner?

    Through the years I've printed my fair share of back-lit signage, just never back-lit banner. Now, we have a job requiring us to reprint an awning on back-lit banner. This is going inside an arena, over a pizza ordering counter, the banner is lit by fluorescent lights. Should I double-strike it...
