I've used Magicmedia Intellicoat non-tear wallpaper stuff with no problems, but the only canvas I've tried gave me carriage strike problems on the right of the roll on EVERY pass.

Hi Folks, I've had two cyan/ltcyan heads spit the dummy in a couple of months - nothing appeared wrong, but the L25500 was convinced they were no good, so I changed them both. The printer was happy, but the 2 new C/LC heads were constantly printing bandings getting lighter. Head cleans and...

No, I've only swapped HDs from one L25500 to another, and ISS circuit boards, and got into a blinding mess when I learned they're trying to talk to each other and I broke the chain... but then I got them happy again! The service manual helped a lot... You can download it.

Is the cartridge nearly empty?

(sorry about the typos!)| Yes, if you change the hard drive, it'll squirm and spit and refuse to play ball, until you get into diagnostics etc, and work out how to tell it to reflash the eprom data to the hard drive, or vice versa, depending on whether you changed the hard drive or the ISS...

There's a backup of the important stuff of the hard drive, on the ink supply circuit board EPROM. Sawp a hard drive and the Wprom will give you an error message as it won;t recognise the new one till you've updated it's record or told it which is the right one. It's a safety measure...

PVC is lethal, vinyl is the same, stick with acrylic... Some timber can be lasered, but the reality is why would you bother- routing is quicker. Stick with cast acrylic. I spent all day lasering 25mm thick single layer acrylic... how much thicker are you wanting it to be - you've omitted any...

Go for a walk around a shopping mall or city streets and have a look. It's very educational!

"the Best O/S?" You can use Win 98SE, Win XP, or Win 7 with no problems. If you have Corel Draw, you can plot directly from it - there is a bit of a learning curve, but no problems, It's a noisy machine - we have two, and the manual & service manual. We also have a PNC1410 that is 100 times...

Yes... but you'll need to email or PM me your email address, so I can send it to you...!

"end of roll"... I think that is the key... all sorts of gremlins lurk in that last metre! Start a fresh roll, and see if it happens after the first 2 feet have passed.

Complete with the typical tattooist's back-to-front letter A... ;)

Signlab should have a driver already...

Clean the copper contacts in the print head carriage...

Laser & cermark

That won't work... the Flexi WITH the drivers for the L25500 is a special one you get from Flexi... The ordinary version 10 won't do it... The Onyx trial will - for 30 days, then you'll need to outlay $$ for a rip that'll do the job. The machine won't operate via any standard common old 'printer...

as above... You can download a 30 day trial of Onyx Production House RIP, and use it... or rent Flexi- the most recent version that supports L25500 or buy an old Signlab version 9 onwards + dongle... All the best!

As a knock-off, was it OK in the machine? There's a nice fellow in Macedonia who also deals in a clone of the 789 inks. He's on Facebook.

I've bought plenty via Ebay

Thanks for the replies Folks, and I apologise I've not been back. Bootup got better- but still with issues. Changing the top Ink Supply System circuit board and reflashing the EPROM fixed it all. It's working nicely now, and has been for a month!
