Ink is not very expensive anyway, I wouldn't bother with 3rd part inks, on the long run you save how much? $10/ month? Just get some decent jobs and don't worry about the ink (obviously don't be the guy selling banners for $2.99 on ebay) The SP-300 is still a decent little printer, the only...

One more thing, if you put a new chip on a nearly empty cartridge say 2% your chip will read 2% even if you put it back on the original full cartridge, so be careful

The chip doesn't control ink flow, it stores the percentage left (printer tells it to the chip and can count down only), expiry date, color, and if cartridge is genuine, so if you have 9% left and put it on another cartridge it'll still show 9%. Yes it's time-consuming and messy if not done...

What i did is open up the nearly empty cartridge, roll up the pouch like a toothpaste tube, insert the needle holding the pouch upside down - the rubber plug facing downwards, get the ink out and hold the new cartridge upside down again when inserting the needle and make sure you don't insert it...

That must have looked sh*t day one then.

You can laugh as much as you want but ricoh is not a large format printer manufacturer, and their printhead is a joke with 75 dpi/color vs epsons standard 180dpi/color monoblock printhead

Long story short Roland stopped using Epson printheads in low end machines and truvis is the first gen printer that uses a noname low DPI crap. I received 3-4 samples before I bought mine in 2019 and one of them was ok, worse than a 5yo VS but would be ok for me. I thought the other samples were...

I wonder if this works in a controlled way (obviously these guys went crazy)

S60600, prints 2x faster than 40600

look for walk on laminate, its heavily textured to form an anti slip surface

I have the same printer, I only get this quality with 6 passes, I never do more than 12

Truevis is junk, trust me. Go with epson or mimaki, maybe an older second hand roland, but stay away from truvis. If there is no window wiper I don't laminate window perf. If you need to laminate it you'll need optically clear laminate. You can get a hand cranked cold laminator from ebay for...

      

A professional monitor doesn't show gradient when you look at solid colors (most of them are darker on the bottom and lighter at the top). HP's are pretty good like HP 27fw or similar. I use HP Z23N G2. Whatevery you buy make sure it's IPS not VA or TN

. how to delete post?

You're funny :roflmao:

What if you open your own PDF again in vinylmaster? does it open in RGB mode? if so you need to set up document color mode when you start a new design or before saving your file, PDF can take both CMYK and RGB, more than that PDF can take BOTH at the same time (cmyk elements+rgb elements as...

You can do CMYKLcLmLk that should stop the circulation sequence on channel 7 and 8, very annoying that you cannot go 2x CMYK, light colors barely do anything except slowing your machine done by 50%

Never thought of that but actually makes sense. Funny enough somehow I end up having to print a lot of black or dark graphics, not sure how that would look with limited amount of ink, will do some tests.
