  1. Help! Edge 2 foils won't advance

    Call Gerber support or a dealer. Pay the fee. It's probably the clutches, but it sounds like you have other issues as well. Make a list of all the issues before you call and maximize the value of the call. They are very good about helping you out. I really hope that you (and all shops)...
  2. Need Help Probably a stupid question.....

    Interesting question. Can you give a sample piece to a powder coater to run with another project? Color wouldn't matter, just to test the process?
  3. VS-540

    The message you reported is because the machine "thinks" there's something over the media sensor. If this were the punch lever sensor, you'd get a message to lower the pinch wheels. The media sensor can get stuff just sitting on it, besides someone intentionally covering the sensor. If you...
  4. Need Help Roland VS640

    1. Is your Ultrasonic cleaner compatible with solvents? I don't think most of them are. You don't want to ruin your machine trying to salvage a dead head. 2. I loved into ultrasonic cleaneda a while back and found the results to be inconsistent once you got past the manufacturer's advertising...
  5. Need Help Ink Cartridge Age Question

    Yup, that's how you do it. If you start introducing variables like "generic" options over OEM fluids, you're playing a game of roulette. If you have time to experiment, you can use whatever you want. I wouldn't.
  6. Need Help Roland VS640

    If it doesn't change when you do a cleaning, it's most likely clogged and you'll need to replace the head.
  7. VS-540

    1. Make sure that there isn't any tape left over rear media sensor. Sometimes people will cover this for various reasons. 2. No Roland won't talk to your customers about color management. You need to educate yourself so you can explain the limitations and, better yet, improve your chances of...
  8. Suggestions Creating a icc profile for window perf

    Add pointed out, you can't make a reliable profile for perf film. Even if you profiled the unpunched media, the effect of the holes adds a percentage of black to the image that you can't account for either. So you'll probably need to lighten up the artwork for the perf printing to get it...
  9. Are you noticing vendors going direct?

    Well, this is a little out of my normal category of response, but we (Denco Sales) for one do not deal with end users. If someone finds us and wants to buy from us, we generally refer them to 3 of our sign shop customers in their area. We've had a sign shop send a customer to us for ZIP...
  10. What kind of PC do you get for large format files .tiffs and such

    I'd look at what your software requirements are (minimums) and what the recommended specs are. Different RIPs will be able to make use of different features more effectively than others can. Is your RIP software up to date? There have been some improvements to the software. But as pointed...
  11. Need Help Flexi Sign Bezier question

    What method are you using to vectorize the artwork? Have you tried playing with the settings or using enhanced curves? Using the optimize by curve is probably the easiest way to turn a bunch of points into a single curve and 3 pont arc is my next favorite.
  12. Need Help Ink Cartridge Age Question

    If you're having problems, then I would flush the lines (at least the ones you're having problems with) with cleaning cartridges. Pull with a syringe above the damper alternating cleaning fluid and air till the fluid comes through clean and replace the damper. Hopefully this will get you a...
  13. HP L330 DNS settings

    I've had problems setting up the printer if the clock is not set to the correct time. Check your date and time settings.
  14. Rant Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Zero VOC Interior Latex paint - no stick!

    It's a know issue with high quality paint that's designed to wash off accidents by toddlers with markers. The paint dries with a film that resists "stuff" adhering to it. Great for families with rug rats. Not so great if you want "stuff" to stick. I hadn't heard of Guardz before, but that...
  15. Question Poll on HP Latex 831 Inks

    I don't have a link to the tech bulletin from HP, but I read one addressing this issue and they found that more time after being laminated, before application, is supposed to increase the bond between the laminate and the adhesive. It's a great selling point that you can laminate right after...
  16. Roland Printer Wiper/Scraper Tip...

    Great point player. Also, you should be reaching under and cleaning the wiper scraper with a wet swab when you do your weekly maintenance cleaning. This should be enough to keep it from building up, but you should also do a close inspection when you replace the wipers every 6 months or so...
  17. Need Help Help - Window Perf ICC Profile

    Likewise, Clear Focus can't profile every printer either.
  18. Question Best Way to Connect to Printer

    Do you have a Gigabit network? Hub, cables, etc. all properly configured for gigabit connectivity? If you're running both from one computer, does it have enough horse power? Onyx recommends a separate NIC for each printer plus another one for normal network traffic. The product brochure...
  19. RJ900X LOST ALL MAGENTA

    Are you using sealed cartridges or a bulk system? I've seen dye sub inks in bulk systems start to mold, which will clog a head really fast and get worse with cleaning as you're pulling more mold into the dampers and head. Sealed cartridges don't allow air into the system, so have this...
