We have what sounds like the same problem with CMYK jpegs (they happen to be exported from Illustrator). It had originally been affecting only one computer, but now several are having the same problem. Here's a few threads from Microsoft Answers with people having problems, but there are no...

Do they happen to be CMYK jpegs?

When we literally wore out our Shop Vac using it as a CNC vacuum, we replaced it with a Nilfisk Attix 50. It's a lot quieter than a standard Shop Vac, and it's a more "industrial" vacuum so it is more repairable as well. I do wish it had more capacity, though. At 12 gallons, it's large for a...

Does anyone have any experience with or recommendations for setting up eCommerce websites? We are wanting to create some sort of online web store, so I am looking for suggestions on which software to research. We use Cyrious Control, so we tried out Cyrious eCommerce. But we did not like the...

We have a newer version of this printer, but going by your pictures, it looks like the same thing applies to yours: Since you have white ink, you have 4 negative pressure pumps. Two of them (usually the larger ones) are primary, and 2 are backup. There is 1 primary and 1 backup for color, and...

OK, just to follow up on this - I was able to successfully set up Composer & Onyx to send jobs to the cutter. Turns out that, contrary to what the manual states, the Summa OPOS CAM models can be connected over USB and Ethernet at the same time. So here is how I have the software set up: Onyx -...

Thanks for that suggestion, but unfortunately the HPGL options didn't work. Omega has 3 different HPGL drivers - "HPGL_Simple", "HPGL_Smart", and "HPGL_Smart_PD". I tried all 3, but I got the same error message - "Cannot Open USB: for Spooling <jobname>". Omega allows you to select the USB...

We just got a new Summa S2 T160 OPOS CAM to replace our old Summa S 160T, and I'm trying to get GSPPlot to talk to it. The problem is, Omega 5.0 doesn't seem to support the S2 series. I tried using the old S series drivers, but I just get errors when trying to send jobs. It's connected via USB...

OK, here's my thoughts on Nutec ink after about 1.5 months of usage: Pros: Better adhesion. Sticks to coroplast much better. It's also supposed to stick to standard acrylic & ACM, but I haven't had a chance to test that yet. Much more forgiving over fingerprints, scuffs, etc. on the...

One I drive past almost every day. Here's a link, in case you've never heard of this obscure comic book character...

We have a CET Q5 CMYKWW w/ the original Ricoh Gen5 heads that is nearly 4 years old. The white nozzle test never prints as good as the color test, but in actual production it works fine. I print a 24x24 white block every day the printer is run as part of my startup procedure. I run also all...

Are you using a digital print ACM? They typically have lower tack liners than standard ACM. Also, try using a cardboard tube from a roll of vinyl to pull the liner off. Start pulling the liner off, attach it to the tube, and roll the tube to pull the liner off of the sheet. I've seen this tip...

Yes, it is possible to do what you're wanting. If you're using Onyx, there is a printer setting that controls how white prints - underprint, overprint, or together. Here is an Epson manual on how to print white.

Looks like their new i-Cut Production Console software can do this. From the manual: We run i-cut 6 (and can't upgrade to anything later:(), and we don't have that production option. I'm not sure if i-cut 7 has this feature or not. I've done reverse production a few ways. What I usually do...

We were having this problem for over a year, and on multiple different media. The head also was scraping the media guides, so that's not caused by the media. It printed fine for a year (i.e. while under warranty) on the lowest head height setting and then it started scraping the media. We...

Anyone have a service manual available for the Epson S80600? We're having problems with the carriage scraping the vinyl while printing (even with the head gap set to as high as it can go), so I need some guidance on how to physically adjust the height and level the carriage.

Wow, yeah, I'm not surprised you're having a hard time finding that. What I don't like about cleaning or adhesion promoters is the high possibility of leaving streaks that show up when printed. Maybe your printer/ink isn't as susceptible to that as ours is, but I find that I have to be very...

Look for a digital print ACM - e.g. MaxMetal DP (Grimco), Duratex Alumaboard FAST (Agfa), Alupanel Digital, etc.

I've had good results with Supply55 AP3155 (http://www.supply55.com/adhesion-promoters-s/78.htm). I doubt you'll be able to easily get digital print acrylic at that thickness, so an adhesion promoter is probably your best bet. Also, you might want to look into extruded acrylic. I've had cast...
