    Rasterlink to Onyx is like going from a Vega (anyone remember those?) to a Corvette...
  6. Bad Prints and Scrambled Test Print

    Did it print the same before changing the head ribbons? In other words, did the ribbons make any difference at all? If not, it looks like your printhead is toast. This kind of streaking is electronic in nature.
  7. Mimaki 150-130 Magenta overspray Help??

    Based on the shape of the magenta section of the test draw, along with the massive amount of overspray, I would say you have a defective print head. The curvature of the pattern is an indication the head is messed up internally. Have you had any head strikes in the recent past?
  8. Printing fine print for labels

    In addition to what everyone else has suggested, you could also create a special black only profile in Versaworks. Note this is only for printing black only text. This should force Versaworks to print with just the black channel. Go into Media Explorer Find a profile that has a 1440x1440...

  10. Need Help Roland SP540 not printing questions

    As Frank asked... Specifically which VersaCamm SP-540? And a couple of questions. Are both sets of heads old heads? Do you get anything at all when you do a test print or is it completely blank? When you do a medium or power clean, do you see ink coming through the system? You can check this by...
  11. Mimaki CJV 150-75 HeadStrike?

    I see on the first pic there is a black smear on the right cyan on the first test draw. What caused this? As Solventinkjet has said, check the wiper and the bottom of the head for ink residue after cleaning. Sometimes internal print head damage doesn't show any visible external damage. The fact...
  12. Need Help Making ICC Profile, grey's are green ??

    It's actually called "density control only". As everyone has said, this is important so that you don't print your ICC swatches with another ICC profile "correcting" the color of the swatches. When I create a profile in Versaworks, I want to insure no color management settings are impacting the...

    You will probably have to modify the individual files to get what you need.
  14. Substance x1 profile for 8 color setup mimaki

    As suggested, you should contact the dealer. Your only other option would be to try some other profiles in Rasterlink.
  15. CJV150-75 Cut vinyl edges rising

    Agree with all that you need to wait and let the media outgas, usually for 24 hours - before both laminating and/or cutting. As others have stated, the solvent temporarily changes the vinyl properties, which can cause shrinkage if cutting before it has outgassed. The other thing that occurs is...
  16. Substance x1 profile for 8 color setup mimaki

    What RIP are you using? If you are using Rasterlink, then good luck! If you are using Onyx or Wasatch, then I may be able to help you. Specifically, what are your ink colors? I have been doing color profiling for around 20 years, including multi-ink configurations, such as CMYKLcLmOrGr. But not...

  18. Need Help VS640 Nozzle bleed issue

    It appears you may have a internal micro-crack between the yellow and cyan channels in the print head. Have you had any head crashes? Is the bleed-over always in the same exact place?
  19. Roland sp-540v message

    You most likely did not do the procedure correctly. The video outlines the process perfectly. I would suggest you try it again. It is very important that the printhead is locked in place for the "Move to Cap Pos" step , as shown at the 55 sec - 1 min point. If you can move it to the left at...
  20. Question Printing on Vinyl

    Sublimation ink is not meant for printing on vinyl, only on paper designed to accept sublimation ink. If you do get it to stick, it will most likely have muted colors. Solvent & Eco-solvent inks use a combination of solvent and heat to soften the vinyl surface and allow the ink pigments to...
