I cant imagine C/W/C is going to turn out well on a solvent machine, especially with no real dry time between the layers.

Good luck! You guys build an outstanding product.

Looks like the material might not be laying flat on the platen in the impacted areas, this would throw your bi-directional alignments off (m-gap adjustment in your machine). To test this theory, print in Uni-Directional mode. If the problem goes away, figure out why your media is buckling...

Does the new (used) scan motor and the original scan motor have the same size gear? If so, you dont need to change anything in the system switches. If they are different sizes, "Enter the service mode and change the system switch on page 16 from 00000000 to 00010000" If the scan motor is not...

That Cyan head needs to be changed out. For a temporary fix, you can run a nozzle mask test print from the printer. Pick the best one and use this mask in VW6. The printer speed will be cut way down, put print quality should improve.

If you want to try Onyx, I have a profile we wrote that has a good red. Happy to set you up with a trial and send you our profile. (LTx2). Shoot me a PM if interested.

The film is likely not laying flat on the platen in the areas which this issue occurs. If you get down at eye level, you will see it buckles where the blurry print occurs (might be hard to see on a LEC2 with the front covers). You can print unidirectional in VersaWorks as a temporary fix until...

Double check your wiper. 1st check: Is a wiper installed? 2nd check: During the cleaning process, the wiper should move from the wiper bath, to the pad, and wipe the printhead (cant remember the exact order). I have seen a few machines the wiper has gotten out of sync and it causes color...

Generic Vinyl II was created specifically to address the coalescence it seems you are experiencing.

Have you tried the Generic Vinyl II profile in VW?

We have a belt fed machine so I was trying to avoid wet cutting.

We normally have prints on the aluminum, so normally routing face side up. But that's great advise for non-printed sheets.

Jim, Thanks for the advise! Looks like the same bit, just 4mm vs 6mm cutting? I think you actually did our Colex training when we got the table? Glad to see you are doing well!

Anyone have a recommendation for a bit that will cut .040/.063/.080 aluminum with a baked on enamel, cleanly, for more than a few feet? We are currently using a Colex HF router and their 532 bit. Our cuts start out looking great, but after a few feet of cutting the baked enamel starts to pull...

Solventinkjet: You're referring to the sleeve replacement on a Daige, not a Royal Sovereign.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Head "A" is showing signs of electronic failure. That's the bending of the nozzles you are seeing. I would replace both captops, but plan on a head and damper replacement on the "A" printhead.

If anyone stumbles across this in the future, here is the answer: In Onyx cut-server, if you are using a Colex running OptiScout, you must set the output driver to "OptiScout". If you use the driver for "Colex Sharpcut" the cut will be shifted in both the x and y positions approximately 1/4"...

Bumping this one back up. Anyone running a Colex through Onyx? Still having issues. I’m fairly certain it’s a Onyx issue but not having any luck. I’ve tried outputting with cut server in .xml (does not work at all) and .oxf which works but shifts the cuts. Would gladly pay for a few minutes of...

We know it's not the camera calibration as we can cut the sample file accurately that Colex provides. This sample file is a PDF with the marks already on it. We import that into Onyx, and print it. Then we take the same .pdf and bring it into the colex software and the cut is perfect. It seems...
