I just used drop black (enamel) which is like the gilders' back-up black paint. It dries fast, to a satin dull sheen, and does not look new or fresh.

25 years ago, I repainted several for a watchmaker/clockmaker- all hand-painted, and a bit painstaking, from memory, but all passed off ok as no different from the original. 10 years ago I screen-printed three for another client. (In Australia, of course!)

Too cheap. $480 minimum, considering travel, preparation, paperwork, uncertainties, and height.

Sounds like the laptop might have gone to sleep? Can you turn off Power Saving mode in Control Panel settings?

I'd like to know if there's a generic print head cleaning/wiping cartdidge- the roll of paper one it parks on, when you switch it off. We still have 30 of the L260 ink cartridges, so I'd like to get them used up... ! (and about a dozen L25500 ink cartridges & a few heads, too)

I wonder how it all went for him? No reply?

Roll direction not detected, happens to me if using banner material that you print on the underside of the roll, so feed it the other way from vinyl, and it feeds it back out and it spills forward for a bit, while sussing things out. But put a spirit level on the printer, and level it perfectly.

Put a spirit level on the top of the printer, and pack up the lower side, till it is perfectly level. That fixed it for us.

You said you changed the printhead twice- but did you change the wrong Y/K one, maybe? I'd be cleaning the contacts in the print head carriage, pretty severely. Last time my black wasbleeding into the yellow like that, it took 5 or 6 Y/K head cleanings, head wipes, and a couple or three of...

Laugh if you like, but I was using ink 2 years past the use-by date, and heads equally past it, on our HP L25500, with no problems. The console comes up with a warning that they've passed the date, you click OK, and onward you march... The L260 also has no problems.

My version of Finecut would not work past Corel X3, in Win7. I tried it in X5, and it was as good as invisible.

Headache... stinky headache, and expect a mess. :)

we replaced a PSU in our HP25500 three years ago. Cost about $250 for the PSU and about half a day of slowly unwinding the wires, swapping it out, and replugging everything back in again. Not hard, not not easy either.

50-100 meg? What physical size are they? The file size maybe the big problem.

We use Enroute, and the inlay figure you put in, is in mm, and is how much each part is offset away from the drawn line. So 0.5mm setting can give a gap of 1 mm.

what software are you using?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I solved it by reinstalling the printer inst file, and selecting L260, instead of L26500, and it was happy. But previously, L26500 worked and 260 did not... very weird. "Phew!"...

Our 26500 had been running fine for quite a while. Today the RIP stopped. (Onyx PH 12) Reloaded the RIP, and reinstalled the printer inst file. The RIP queue is happy, but on configuration, it cannot connect with the printer when you click 'test'. However if I open up a web browser (Firefox) I...

I love it- BUT... it can't be installed on an older PC. It needs heaps of RAM, and hard drive space... but worth every cent!
