I also had similar issues this week with 2 materials. Found one piece of fuzz hanging from the front of the print head so on my Mimaki it was only doing it near the far edge of the print. The strange thing is that if I was running a print that was only half the width, it was still happening...

He is right. If they don't run enough, the heads clog and may need to be replaced for thousands of dollars. The inks also expire and shut down the machine until you change it. They are over $100 per cartridge. The machines aren't easy for someone who knows little to nothing to just start running...

Yep. My 25500 just ran 2 full rolls of material today. I also run a Mimaki. They both have their place in the shop but I intend to add an Epson in the near future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking forward to hearing how it turns out for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I had bought that printer as a good deal, I would be very antsy to fire it up and figure out what I had. I love a good deal and I love them even more when I get a stellar deal on something I gambled on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well if you got new ink and heads, fire it up and see if she prints. As long as he carriage moves smoothly. The worst that will happen is that it goes into an error while booting/initializing and you can start hunting down what the problem is. If she boots up fine, go into the menus and find the...

If it was only sitting since January, there is a good chance the heads and ink were still good. Latex can sit for months on end and have no issues. Don't worry about firing it up. When you do a test plot, you will know if there are any issues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may not "need" the truck on a job like that but the time saved by not running up and down a ladder and moving it around is well worth using the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This question gets asked about once a month or so. If you do a search, you will find a lot of info on the different softwares. I personally use Cyrious and it works very very well but you can't start using it for a hundred bucks or so like some of the others. I demoed all the others except V...

There is a huge difference between installing auto mark and installing a quality wrap film like 3m or Orafol. But if you can do automark well, then "real" cast wrap vinyl will be a breeze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just make sure they have a GOOD working driver for your printer. I bought it with the intention of printing to my HP l25500. The driver they had didn't work right and I don't remember specifically, but I don't think you could build different profiles from it. I love the software for layout and...

I am debating switching to lkO from the white but I just had a couple jobs that needed the white. For a printer under 10k, I love it but it is certainly slow. I don't consider it very slow though based on the fact that I'm also running a 1st generation Hp latex that runs about the same speed...

I am glad to know about calibration of the x-rite but according to the Onyx website, postershop can build profiles from scratch. I just bought postershop 12 myself and will know I'm a couple days but it wouldn't be a whole lot of good if you can't create profiles. I have a Mimaki Pronter that...

I'm looking for both of these fonts. (I think there is only two in here). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had the same problem with IOM media when it was placed in a position facing the east sun. IOM has been great to work with but I know I can't use it for outdoor stuff lasting more than a month or two. I still use it indoors for short term stuff but use 3651 for anything going outdoors for any...

I am having support reload Cyrious as I'm typing this. I am a small shop so I don't necessarily use everything that the software offers, but it does do a very good job at just about everything. My biggest problem with them is that I "bought" the software originally for a couple grand and then my...

I wanted to do signs and graphics as a hobby/side business for the last few years while working my day job as an officer. After getting PTSD following the death of a 9month old on a case I worked, I debated long and hard about making my hobby into a business. A year and a half ago, I took off my...

I'm looking for a source for these pop up, A-Frame banners. Some people call them twist up oval A-frames. I am attaching a pic. I have seen pricing all over the place so I'm looking for a supplier.

The graphtec does compensate but it is compensating for material that isn't inserted properly (perfectly square). It doesn't matter what material I run through the 25500, it always has some type of bowing. Even 13oz banner. It's something with the printer. That's why you have to figure out its...

The l25500 does warp material a bit by it's in the middle, not near the edges. The warped material will have a slight bow to the ends of the prints and there is an adjustment that can be made on board the printer to fix it. I have done it myself on multiple occasions. I don't deal with it much...
