I love these horror stories. Ive had my own and that's why I am a stickler for following MY work flow not the customers. I don't care how fast they need it turned around. 50% deposit and the artwork must be thoroughly proofed and approved by them in email or signed in person never over the...

Looking to sell my fb500. It comes with production house, the roll to roll attachment, the 4 media tables shown in the pics (2 small connected to the printer and the 2 large folded up) and an extra set of print heads. This machine is still up and running as we still use it here and there just...

I found my old thread about yellow not printing. New data cable fixed it. I hope your issue is easier/less expensive:thumb: https://www.signs101.com/threads/compress-iuv-1200s-flatbed-printer-problem.147015/#post-1387542

another printing issue I remember fixing was the data cable to the printhead. Check for ink/damage to it. I had to swap mine out.

Another victim of those compress UV printers. ouch. I feel for you, we had the 1200. It was down and inop 75% of the year we had it. It's been a few years but I seem to remember having similar problems and changing out the dampers to fix it. I also remember certain 3rd party inks not...

still available? where in CA?

54" model. As is parts machine or fix it! Needs new motherboard and possibly carriage axis motor. It was getting a lot of carriage axis faults for a few weeks and then one day the motherboard started smoking and wouldn't boot but before that it was a reliable beast. Pick up only. Located in So...

Sorry, no I don't. I feel for you though. That machine was never reliable. It was sold back to Coldesi after a year.

Thanks! Yeah I was looking at AlumaCorr and Alumalite as well. I just wasn't sure about the flutes being strong enough. My Grimco rep is looking into ordering NuAlum sheets for me. Hopefully that pans out since it looks to be the same thing as Lusterboard but if not, then we'll probably do...

I know I messed up on that one. I checked the price on a couple online stores but did not check availability. Luckily the customer is very understanding that I will need to change up the material.

Hi all! We are making a couple 120" x 72" signs for an apartment complex to go onto their existing wooden frame. pic attached. We already submitted the artwork/estimate and got approvals but now apparently we can't get 4x10 sheets of the Lusterboard we quoted for. After being turned down by...

what CMY_K said. Also, are you using the media core holders? If not, I'd try them. They help keep it move along straight. It will pop up on one side more than the other if the advance is going crooked. If you are using them then check to make sure they are seated properly on the roller and...

Giving this a bump. It is still not advancing properly. sometimes it leaves a gap and sometimes it overlaps. Is there an advance calibration somehwere?

Mine has that issue sometimes too. Does it do it with glossy black vinyl? wondering if putting a square of glossy overlam over just the registration marks would clear that up. You can also try cleaning the lens with compressed air or a cotton swab with isopropyl alc

HI! I am hoping somebody knows whats going on here. Wherever the media advances, it skips about 2" of cutting as shown in the pic. It doesnt just advance too far and start where it left off - it actually skips those 2 inches. Letter shown should say ORSI and I marked in blue where the...

I called in a tech and he did a cleaning on the reader and replaced the strip.

Definitely not wet mounted. Dry mount through our laminator only and yes that's exactly why we went with polycarb over acrylic

Wow thanks for the link that was a wealth of knowledge in that other thread. Yeah we are definitely going to stop using the 40C for these applications. Yeah and to think I suggested he go with polycarb instead of acrylic to replace the broken panel so it won't break again :doh:

Need help identifying this issue. We make a lot of these backlit sign faces and this hasn't happened before. Contractor customer has not returned the face he only sent me pictures so far. Could it be faulty roll of vinyl? Caused by the current heat wave we are having in California? Can the...

Exactly. I ordered 2
