  1. HELP! Need advise ASAP: Have to (physically) move printer to a new shop - any special steps?

    1. It's recommended by the manufacturer 2. It prevents the head from coming loose and crashing into the other end 3. It keeps ink from leaking out the bottom of the print head. Better question would be "Why not lock the print head for a move?" A lot of people ride motorcycles without helmets...
  2. JV3 160s gray coming though with magenta stripes?

    I don't know Mimakis, but it looks like your vinyl is tunneling in the print zone. A couple of places are high enough to get head strikes. This is throwing off your bi-directional and horizontal calibrations so ink isn't going where it needs to. Try decreasing print temps if you can. Good luck
  3. Profile for xc540 or xj540 for Onyx.

    The Onyx Printer & Profile Download manager is packed with about 45 profiles for an XC-540. Do none of those work for you? What vinyl are you using? Joe
  4. Gerber Edge LE printer driver needed

    That's a windows driver, not a Gerber Driver. It's been so long I can't remember, but you also need to configure the parallel port correctly in the Bios. Any more we recommend the Gerber USB to Parallel adapter, but you would still need to upgrade your Omega to be compatible with that option.
  5. Print Quality Perforated Vinyl (Mimaki CJV-30)

    Hi Yor, The problem is that your missing 30 -50% of your color due to the holes. Also, when placed on a window this equates to adding 30 - 50% black into your image. It's tough because you really can't create a profile for that material. Others on here may have a formula for getting...
  6. Roland XJ-740 bearing issue - need advice

    Roland only sells the bearing blocks and rail as a complete assembly. They calibrate the bearings to the rail They don't sell the bearing blocks separately. If it's a Roland tech that gave you the first quote, that's the option that he has. If you can find the bearing blocks available...

  8. Sign Application Table

    I'm thinking that he currently uses a laminator and needs 8' on each side of the laminator to support the board. I've see that set up in many shops.
  9. If you are a Flexi ICC profile making wizard please read and respond

    There is some voodoo involved in creating profiles and it takes a bit of experience and training to get what you want when creating profiles. Discussing profile creation via text or even on the phone is difficult to do. So, whatever I may say should be taken with a grain of salt. If you're...
  10. Sheet Cut

    Big Easy has it. (Most likely). The mechanism is similar to some cabinet catches where you press in and it stays in, you press in again and it pops out. When it's in, it will link the sheet cut mechanism to the pen block and both will go up and down. When the mechanism is out, the two are...
  11. Need Help How do I make my own profiles?

    It does create a full ICC profile, but it is definitely entry level quality. You don't have too many options that you can customize it with, like black generation, etc. My current demo is a 335, so I don't have one to play with right now or I'd run through a profile just to refresh my memory...
  12. ROLAND BN20 WITH WHITE INK

    In general, and there are exceptions to the rule, it's a bad idea, especially on a BN-20. If you were talking a high production environment where you used white all the time, with a high production machine (here's where the BN-20 does not qualify) it makes sense. Printing with white will cut...
  13. Need Help How do I make my own profiles?

    Actually, the HP L365 has an onboard spectrophotometer and the smarts to create full blown ICC profiles right on the printer itself. It is pretty painless to create them and other than having someone onsite to show you the YouTube University is a great way to learn. It will take a couple of...
  14. Discussion Which printer do I buy?

    You'll need to get with your landlord and a qualified electrician for this (don't trust your brother-in-law's cousin Eddie for this job). This is probably the biggest objection to HP Latex that we run into. Your dealer should give you a site survey that goes over all the space, environmental...
  15. installing sp300 drivers

    I think the last OS they made SP300 drivers for was XP. And probably 32 bit. I don't know if you'll be able to use some compatibility mode or not. You may need to get an older computer to print to that printer. Good Luck
  16. perforated window vinyl printing short

    Flexi has this as well In Production Manager, click on the arrow beside the printer on the Blue line and select output size compensation: But I'm guessing that the OMAS is getting fooled by the perforations. 1 inch in 60 is huge. Try disabling that on the printer and see what you get...
  17. Rant Omega 6.5 loosing communication to plotter

    The latest Win 10 update has a know bug related to USB drives. I'm wondering if it might be affecting your communications as well???
  18. XC540 Cutting Problems

    Your picture shows it connected. When it's cutting, it's not supposed to be connected to the print carriage. If your just getting a message that the carriages are separated, then you probably need to clean the encoder strip. Check this out. Good luck Joe
  19. New print head fitted

    Since it comes back with a cleaning, it's not an electrical issue, it's an ink flow issue. Did you replace the dampers when you changed the head? Check the line adapters at the top of the dampers - Or replace the dampers whatever's appropriate. Did you replace the cap top? Is the cap top seated...
