We are printing training posters that finish 30" x 20" landscape. The PDF size, including dots for my flatbed cutter, is 31" x 21." The material we print on is 60" x 100' 8 pt photo matte. Since longer rolls than 100' are hard to find, we go through lots of this paper. What is the best way to...

How did you determine where to look?

Strangely I've experienced zero of these issues over the last couple years on mine, and we use it daily. You may have a service issue rather than there being an inherent design flaw? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would recommend the printer because it's a hybrid roll and sheet fed. The color is pretty consistent, and I would agree that it's not fast. We have printed on paper, MDF, acrylic, aluminum and it's handled it all, pretty well. Be sure to invest in a flatbed cutter as well, to get maximum...

20+ years in the industry and STILL learning.

OK, I've put a finer point on my question. I want to export the" JDF Job Properties" for all my jobs, so that I can get a more accurate idea of ink use and productivity. Per job I can click the "JDF Job Properties" button to get print time and ink use. I'd like a database of this info for all...

I'm still in love with our purchase, 2 years later. We've cut paper to foam to acrylic to metal and even wood. I only wish for a more robust user community to bounce ideas off of. The table itself is pretty darned accurate and tough and reliable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On our OCE TDS400 we have a meter that measures linear feet printed. On our HP5500 there's an accounting tab in the web interface that shows jobs printed, time, and media. I need to know how to export this information from my EFI H1625 LED so that I can analyze it in Excel. At the printer I can...

We typically use Illustrator to prepare our cut files. I'm certain that some test files came with your Colex. What are the results when you use those? Have you been trained in the use of the machine?

We love th eColex in combination with our EFI H1625 LED hybrid flatbed.

I have to update: the guys at Colex do know the product and its capabilties if you ask them. It's just that their online presence and information is sparse.

ChrisN, asking that question forced me to go back and research more diligently, and I think the White_INVERSE option that I discovered is what would've solved my problem. I'm not going to change form Bounding Box for the project we're currently printing, but I'll be smarter for the next time a...

This time we are using Bounding box. Typically we would use Inked image to conserve ink, except the 0,0,0,0 problem. In answering your questions about our white ink options, I have just learned that perhaps I need to use White_Inverse, which is an option I didn't realize/remember that we had...

How we are addressing it for the time being is to have the printer flood white across the bounding box, so that the voids are filled with white, but that uses more ink than I'd like. One thing we will do going forward in prepress for clear substrates is the following process in Photoshop...

We are printing three layers: color/white/color to give us the most opacity. However on the lightest areas of the print, there's zero ink coverage, which shows up as an empty space in the print. At first I thought it was a headstrike, before realizing it was the point in the file where there's...

These prints will be mounted to the wall, on standoffs. We print in reverse on the back side of the clear acrylic, so that the client can clean the prints in the future without any damage to the printed surface. That's why we don't print on white acrylic. Our challenge with this job was that it...
