My mouse wheel is working on this site. Rebooting doesn't seem like that big a deal. Not sure why this site is singling you out, Gino.

F1 is for Magenta and Yellow heads. F2 is for Cyan and Black. So it wasn't the fuse to begin with, but it could be now, or you could have fried your cyan head. test the fuse with a Multi Meter. You can do this with the fuse still in the board. It's not unusual to bend one of those cables...

That's why printers now commonly come with light cyan, magenta and black. They also fire smaller dots now. I think you're up against a limitation of your printer having only CMYK without the light versions. In order get light blue with regular cyan, it has to fire the dots further away from...

You can pull from either tube, but you have to pinch off the other one with a pair of forceps. The problem as you probably know is that the pigment settles just about everywhere if it isn't kept suspended some how. The circulation pumps keep the ink in the ink lines suspended, and the daily...

They're the small ones -;). Take what you have to a good hardware store (aka: NOT a big box store) and show them to your helpful hardware man. They should be able to get you set up. Let him know that they're metric to start with.

Nanci, if you are doing mostly vehicle and boat graphics, you'll want to laminate no matter what printer you use. Get a plotter first and go 54 inch. You can always get smaller vinyl in it. It doesn't work the other way around. Make sure it can read crop marks. Summary or graphtec both make...

Oki bought the Seiko line of Color Painters. They're generally pretty good printers, but I have no experience with the E-64s. Just check to make sure where your service comes from. You'll probably find a lot more Roland dealers and Roland printers out there. So your resources will be much...

If your sign supplies distributor doesn't have it, look into sheet metal suppliers. You may get it past the inspector - or you may not. I'd hate to have to redo the job because I didn't take the time to source the material that was called out in the specs. I imagine that if it's in the specs...

If your nozzle test is good, then it has to be in the RIP software. Are you firing all nozzles in the nozzle test print?

Danno, I just upgraded from the gretagmacbeth i1 to the pro 2 and am very happy that I did. It's familiar and much faster. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Before you upgrade be sure to check your software for the devices they support. Some rips have a limited number of spectros that...

Nicky, in my observations, most shops don't want to bring their completion from down the street into their mission control center and help them become a stronger competitor. I would toss the questions out here and go see a dealer who sells both so you can do some side by side comparisons...

I would try turning the print heater down 5 degrees C (do the math if you're using F. That should stop the material from expanding and buckling up in the print area. The less likely cause could be the paper liner absorbing moisture out of the air, or a combination of the two. Lastly, check...

@ Divers - Roland recommends replacing captops every 6 months. My experience leads me to believe that is a conservative time frame and most printers can go for a year between changing captops, wipers, etc. - your mileage may vary. I think you're on the right track though. Just be very careful...

Hey Pig, I would get to your Roland dealer and discuss with them what your needs and plans are. Ask to see sample prints off of both machines. Send them a file that you know what to expect and is representative of your typical work. If you can, go in and watch them print. Either one of...

No way to know for sure what caused it, but the most likely culprit is, as GTSTech said, the media edge guides.

With the Gerber USB to serial adapters, you have to go into the device manager and see what port number it is assigned to, then in the Add plotter box, make sure that you're selecting the correct port. If the port number doesn't show as available in the Add plotter box, go back to the device...

@Toomey - glad you got it going. I hope we'll be able to help in the future. @ WC- thanks for the kind words. @ All - Have a great weekend.

Fyi We show that a call was placed from you at the end of April. I'm not sure what the lead time was at that point. I don't know that we have a standard lead time. It will depend on our workload and the distance we have to travel to your shop. Also, we have recently added another tech for...
