Do one thing at a time - . You can try a little white lithium grease on the gear after cleaning off the old grease, or 3 in 1 oil on the pulley, but more often I find it's the motor that makes the noise. If it's the motor, just replace it. If oiling the pulley reduces the noise, plan on...

I've been a Gerber dealer for more than 30 years and haven't heard of that. It must be from one of their other divisions.

Thank-you Gino. My best to everyone on here.

Have you tried using copy>paste or step and repeat? I'm on version 19 and the duplicate function sets the new object just a little up and a little to the right. If I remember correctly that was a feature enhancement a while back. I don't really use duplicate too much, so I don't remember...

It's hard to tell without knowing what the exact media is. Can you get a holder for a Sharpie Pen? I know Graphtec has them for their plotters. And I've seen some customers just wrap enough tape around a sharpie so that the pen holder will grab it solidly. Good Luck

Not sure on this one. I opened it up in VW6 and printed on my VG2 and it looks great. I'm loading the original VW on my computer so I can at least see what the preview does - I won't be able to print out of Versaworks though. I'll let you know what I find out.

Don't leave the fluid in. Get out as much as possible. You don't want it to leak out while in transit.

Or you could try the generic HPGL driver as well. Just make sure you set your language on the plotter to HPGL.

Does the sound travel with the head, or is it stationary at one end or the other? Clean the bearing rail with isopropyl alcohol and add a drop of 3 in 1 oil and both sides of the carriage and move it back and forth by hand a few times (if you turn off the machine, you can move the carriage out...

You should also calibrate after replacing the heads.

The encoder sensors rarely go bad in my experience. There should be no physical contact with them and the power supplied to them is generally steady. There's an LED on one side and a light sensor on the other side. If you don't have your encoder strip centered between the two arms, it can rub...

I only swim in warm water to avoid shrinkage:p

Basecoat paint doesn't generally have as much body as a 1 coat paint. I think it's more of an auto industry technique. It's been years since my Matthews training and I haven't painted since, but if I recall correctly, you can use Matthews as a true base coat clear coat system. I just can't...

Jim, you probably won't find a capping station. In over 10 years, I've never replaced one. I would be surprised if one exists. The only time I've had to adjust one was when I dropped a screw below or behind it. We only replace cap tops, cap top springs and occasionally a pump. There is a cap...

I think that printer also has onboard settings for a stripe. Look on the printer menu. It gets save to the preset. (It's been years since I've sold Seiko printers, so my terminology may have been "Rolandized" but the idea is there.)

The only time I tried a non OEM manifold it sucked!:eek: (Air mostly, but the whole situation did as well).

Let me preface this with the fact that I've been out of the media side of this business for some time, but somethings don't change so I'll give my input anyway... Laminates do a couple of things... If designed to do so (and not all are) they will inhibit the UV radiation that gets through them...

Get it from your local Roland dealer.

Another thought (since this popped up again)... You might try upgrading to VersaWorks 6 (and make sure that you load the latest update and using the True Rich Color setting. This is new to Versaworks 6 and, in my mind anyway, kind of combines the color accuracy of the Pre Press settings with...

I've seen this with cap tops in poor condition (allowing wicking of ink across the channels) and having a full (or near full) magenta cartridge and an empty (or nearly empty) yellow cartridge. The difference in the height of the fluid in the cartridges causes a siphon effect. If the cap tops...
