  1. Beware malicious email

    Ah, I always thought WAN was wireless area network referring to your wireless connections. OOPS. Google cleared that right up, Thanks!
  2. Beware malicious email

    Do you mean LAN? My production machines don't have wireless capabilities and even if they did a wired connection would be faster and more reliable. Even a wired LAN is susceptible. You could have production machines on a separate LAN from email/web surfing computers but good/smart email...

    Tell them "Thank you for this order, we look forward to doing business with you. Please send a check for $5000 to my Nigerian prince so we can release the funds required to build your order."
  4. RIP Software Suggestions

    We have a Windows set-up here and we also have the same 2 machines- Latex360 and Summa S2 T series 140. We run Wasatch 7.1 just fine for our printing and print/cutting needs
  5. Do You Repair Your Roland Yourself?

    I will add that if I ever feel like I might be in over my head with a particular repair I call a tech in so I can watch and learn.
  6. Do You Repair Your Roland Yourself?

    Well I've never had a Roland but I do my own tech work on printers. I've done work on a Mimaki, Mutoh VJ1204, HP L25500, HP Latex 360, Compress iUV, and am currently learning our new HP Scitex 500. I've also done repair work on our Gerber edge, lasers and plotters. It pays off IF you are good...
  7. Printing RED on the HP

    I made a new profile on mine with all ICC off and no color curve corrections. Ink limit at max. This prints pure color as seen on screen without the rip messing with it and I get some pretty nice reds. Still can't hit some pantones but its pretty close. This only works for vector though...
  8. Mutoh 1204 Banding / Bad Nozzle Check

    I agree with Ryse Inc. OEM inks all the way. We had the SAM ink big tank addon with 3rd party inks and chip cards and the system was a pain to use and nozzles were constantly getting clogged. Check the suction of your capping station. You can check the suction via the waste ink tube coming...
  9. HELP! COLOR SHIFTING PROBLEM WITH LATEX PRINTER......

    Both of these. Also, the life of the printhead (if it's anything like my latex 360) plays a big part in it. We just ran an entire 60" roll printing a lot of blues earlier this week and had very little color shift because I replaced the printheads before running it. The old ones were both at...
  10. Question Import PDF text

    I've made PDF files that I know have no text and imported them into CorelDraw and get the pop-up about leaving text or converting it so it might just be programmed into it. Heck, sometimes it happens with a customer file and all thats in it is an embedded jpg. Maybe it's a glitch. I always...
  11. Unicorn Material - What is it?

    awww misleading...
  12. Summa F1612 Bed Vacuum

    Setting the size in Summa Axis Control: It concentrates the suction to the smaller piece's width along the right side (origin side) It does not work for length so that option is useless- I talked to the tech who set ours up. He said its basically 1 wall that moves inside from the left (wider...
  13. Need Help HP Scitex error: encoder strip

    I tried that, thanks. I'm not sure its because of a head strike. The actual strike wasn't bad and the mark was about 1/2" long on the corner of the media on the service side. I was hoping it was some dust knocked loose and blocking the reader like you suggested but I stuck a piece of paper in...
  14. Need Help HP Scitex error: encoder strip

    Oops, FB500 Media is read and sized just fine with the carriage moving back and forth. The problem starts at the first line of printing
  15. Need Help HP Scitex error: encoder strip

    bump. Anybody?
  16. Need Help White ink

    This sounds like the ink is clogging the nozzles. Maybe try a better quality white ink.
  17. Need Help White ink

    I select multiple white passes in my software settings. Look at your software you might find something. At the very least you should be able to print at a higher dpi. Look out for options such as number of passes, double print, or ink layers. If nothing, then you can just try to print only...
  18. Need Help HP Scitex error: encoder strip

    Hi all, Scitex was printing fine until at the very end of print (48" wide) the carriage hit the ACM substrate on the corner at the service end due to table being bumped at back end and substrate shift. Now it will not print. I keep getting error to clean or replace encoder strip. I inspected...
  19. Need Help White ink

    Not sure I understand your English but sounds like you might need to increase the white passes if your white ink is fading. My printer has 4 white ink lines/nozzles on a DX5 printhead (CMYKWWWW) but I still need to do 2-4 layers to get a good white color.
