Drop pos. (Brevity is the soul of wit)

Did a damper/channel swap. Swapped the cyan channels for the black. (Plugged the cyan dampers into the black nipples on the head, and vice versa) Confirmed the problem is with the cyan ink, not the head or electrical. Printed swatches of 100% cyan (with input profiles on, to enable the...

Can you make just a CMYK profile? It will mean you have to chose either/or depending whether the image has photo's and/or vibrant red vectors. Does Flexi profiler know you are using orange and red? When you print your targets, is it using the orange and red? When you print the (new) cmyk...

Well it's not the dampers. Swapped out the 2 Cyan ones and still get exactly the same misting/halo blue overspray around anything with cyan in it. Well actually, not everything. Here's where it gets weird. I can print a swatch 100% cyan and if I turn off the input profile in the rip, it prints...

Did you get a solution? What happened? I have a CJV30 and I'm getting the exact same overspray pattern as shown in Murray's fist pic. On the capping station side of the Y axis, mostly along the right hand edge of the vinyl. Also some mini overspray like a halo all around the other 3 sides of...

Have someone build you an output .icc profile for Signlab/VPM and use that. It's so much easier having the whole workflow within Signlab. But you need to have it set up by someone who knows colour management, ink limits, linearization curves, rendering intents and how to create a printer...

No, you don't have to re-calibrate every time. I haven't changed mine in over 6 years. I'd check that your roller pressure is high enough to prevent slippage. Some backing papers are more slippery. Make sure the media is loaded square and straight. Also, run the sheet back and forward before you...

Sounds like it's not able to do a proper clean. Check that the bottom of head and top of cap are clean and making a good seal. Check the pump tubes are not blocked. Make sure the dampers are full.

What are you trying to say there? What actually happens?

Are the inks really getting drawn through the head? As in, you can see pooled ink in the cap top and on your wiper when you do a clean? Are your dampers half full or nearly empty?

I use an I1 with Eye -One Match software for building profiles to use in Signlab 8. Signlab included an Advanced Calibration Wizard in SL8, but I think they pulled it out of subsequent versions? It allows you to start with an existing profile that you like, re-set the parameters (passes, speed...

I see this discio error when I open a really old file, then try to save it again. It opens the Save as dialog with the file name hilighted. I just delete the file from the list, then press save and it saves it again as the right name.

On my CJV30, the laser pointer is only used to read the reg marks for a print/cut job. All it does is indicate how far away the reg mark is from the origin point. So, you first set your origin on the machine, then you use the laser to set the amount of offset.

Yes I also use CCleaner (the free version). Do you use the upgraded version? I'll look into Avira. And yeah, I'm sure you're right about Win 7 still being safe for years. As I said mine hasn't updated for the last 2 years or more anyhow. I bet I can wring a few more years out of this rig yet.

Nah, then I'd have the Y2k bug to worry about all over again!

Yes, I do have the original install disk for Win 7. I'll have to go and read up on how to "VM Win 7" etc... Co-incidentally, I am free trialing AVG Tune up and it recently alerted me to the fact that my Windows update has been turned off for 780 days! So, now I've updated it, hence the warning...

I also use this computer for web browsing, downloading, emails, everything. I'm thinking if I ramp up my internet security, I can keep using it as is. I'm not dead against upgrading Signlab. I'm all for supporting them, it's great software and a big part of my every day use. But I have all my...

Been using Signlab 8 Print & Cut on my Windows 7 OS daily for years. I like Version 8 - I'm comfortable with the UI and the workspace I created - but mostly because I make my own profiles for printing through VPM. Now my Win 7 computer is telling me it won't be updated anymore, so look like an...

It'll be fine, don't worry about it. Once you get a good seal it will come good. You really need to learn be able to change dampers, cap tops, capping stations and wipers by yourself. Then have spares on hand for when these situations arise. You can leave the head soak for a couple of days or...

I wonder why? That's interesting. I use Signlab 8 and am perfectly happy with it. I've been using it every day for years. Almost exclusively. Including making my own profiles with and for it. So I don't even have to use Rasterlink (or VW) for the Rip. So sorry, can't answer your question...
