Make sure that you're not converting strokes to outlines. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

When i do it, i always recommend replacing the cable, the guides and the cut carriage board, but if you replace the board, you'll need to calibrate the crop mark sensor. The board is probably not necessary, but that way, we've covered all the basesand it has to come out to replace the...

The is always going to be some slack. It's a rolling loop. As RJ pointed out though, it needs to be the correct amount of slack and it takes some time to get it dialed in. If it's been caught on something, you'll need to replace the ribbon cable add well as the plastic guides. Then dial it...

Zoom in on the right side of the black nozzles. There are about 5 nozzles missing at the bottom, which would create the gap in the test boxes. And no, i think it's the muffler bearings or turn signal fluid that's the real problem here. -lol Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

It looks to me like the bottom of his black nozzles are missing. This would cause the fed calibration test print to be a poor reference. I would try using the nozzle test print as a guide or get the black nozzles firing properly and then do calibrations. Also it could be a feed encoder...

Check with the plotter doctor. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Try the limit position calibration, clean the encoder strip, check the pinch wheel sensor in sensor check mode, also check the front and rear paper sensors. Does it do it with all widths of media I know what you mean. I've made those long trips only to find that it's operator error. Let us...

Actually the XJ senses the edges of the media and the VG senses the pinch wheels. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

You'll need a USB to serial adapter - this will give you a serial port. Then you'll also need a Graphtec 9 pint to 25 pin serial cable. With serial port connections, you don't need a driver for the plotter, you just need to know the correct serial port settings - and they need to match on the...

This is probably a 0400 error (and as Dominick points out, all digits matter in error codes). Turn the power off and clean the print heads and cap tops manually. 0400 means that the cleaning pump runs for a certain amount of time in which it expects the damper full sensor to indicate that it is...

You could also try another profile that would put down less ink. Also, switch to a slower print mode to give the vinyl more time over the dryer would help as well.

With serial port plotters it's usually about the port settings. They all have to match in the plotter, software and port device settings. Unfortunately, it's been so long for me, I don't remember the recommended settings. Was the plotter working before for you, and this is a new computer...

Make sure that whatever you get, that you have good local support. I think that will matter more than the small differences between any of the modern wide format printers. Here in the states, most manufacturers have a decent repair/support program. It might not be the same where you are. If...

360, 365, 560 and 575 are the only ones with a built in i1. You'll need a RIP that supports profiling and a stand alone spectrophotometer if you need to make your own or even linearize existing profiles.

First of i'm going to assume you mean FC8600. Second, if this is going on 3 years, why didn't you take it to your distributor or back to graphtec and get it fixed? It's most likely mechanical. With no media loaded, the pinch wheels let the grit wheels and down-aka: lever is up, make sure...

I can see the edge of the red is pixelated, but I think the OP is referring to the drops of ink beyond the print area. My guess would be fibers caught on the print head are doing this. Check the bottom of the head very closely using a good flashlight. You probably picked up some scrim...

Thermal printing refers to foil resin machines like Gerber edge or Summa DC printers. But, you can try it in your latex printer and see what happens. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

The are several small format UV printers that can do what you're looking for. Check out Roland or Mutoh. Or you could go bigtime and get a large format 4x8 or larger and do it big time. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

You may have thrown your money down a very deep hole. You would have been better off just getting the stickers from an established shop. Fasttrack connects via serial port and doesn't require drivers. The Gerber software Timgo pointed to (and even went so far as to verify the serial number...
