It looks like a cap top and possible pump issue for sure but you won't know for sure until you install those parts. You could get them in and it only improves a little or it completely fixes the issues. I don't see any electrical or physical damage indicators though.

We had a defective UV machine out of the box a while back where the head carriage was up too high and wouldn't allow us to lower it. It still printed fine but due to the improper height, it coated the entire inside of the machine in yellow ink dust. Makes me wonder how much ink dust it makes...

Flexi has a tool called the "Color Mapping" tool. You pick a Pantone color and then it prints a grid of the color adjusted in cooler and warmer directions. You pick the one that looks closest to your color and it replaces that from now on. Takes some of the headache out of matching. I wouldn't...

Good: Cures virtually immediately, prints white better than other ink types, multi layer printing for cool effects, no heaters, ink is cheaper, can print direct to substrates, low to no solvent content. Bad: Laminating may require a heat assist laminator or liquid lam, clogged nozzles are...

Oracal had a PVC free vinyl for a while but I can't remember the part number. Cast vinyl uses fewer pthalates so I guess that's a little more environmentally friendly.

I almost feel like it's just a profile issue. Have you tried a different 600x600 profile?

It is a weird one. It should work just like white vinyl as long as it seems to be printing nice and crisp and looks like it does on your white vinyl. I'd try lowering the sensor setting. Maybe the clear is glossier and it's getting too intense of a reading. Also, try cleaning the sensor with a...

Has it worked before or is this the first time you're attempting the print/cut with registration marks?

Does the clear vinyl have a white backer? If it does, it should work just like white vinyl. If it's completely clear, you might try to put something white behind it while it's reading the marks. Maybe slap a piece of white vinyl behind each mark.

Try running as administrator and in compatibility mode. . . . . if Windows 11 still has those things.

It means the board isn't seeing 42 volts from the power supply. Usually it's the main board being damaged or a bad head/head cable causing the issue. If you know how to test the power supply, I would check to make sure it's putting out 42 volts but don't do it unless you know how. In my...

When you do the limit position, make sure the head is locking and not just in the home area. You have to push it to the right very slowly until it clicks and then stop. If you push too far right, it will unlock. Usually I hear the click and push it to the left to confirm it's locked before...

I assume this is solvent? Try turning up the heat. Also, try to use a profile that is created for the amount of passes you want. If you're using the same profile and just adjusting the pass setting, it can mess up the ink limits and put too much ink down.

Looks like you're working on an SP300 or similar. You're fine to just leave it capped and don't need to clear the system out. If solution didn't come through after doing the soak, I'd say there is a clog for sure. Usually it's in the little y connector but it could be anywhere in the tubes below...

Go into the regular menu and scroll down further than you would normally and you will see all the # menus. Make sure you're booting while holding function and remote on some machines or func1 and func3 on others.

Have you tried an air purge yet? I usually start there with patchy printing. Are you getting any errors?

I agree. I would also flush the pump with a syringe and cleaning solution to make sure it's not clogged.

If you have an OS newer than windows Vista, the OS figures out the connection for you and you can use either.

Plasticizer is an ingredient in the vinyl that helps keep it stretchy and supple. If the material is old or has been exposed to high heat, the plasticizer comes out of the vinyl and contaminates the surface.

A single channel on a DX7 print head has 180 nozzles. A single pass on that head achieves a resolution of 180x180. 2 pass 360x360, 4 pass 720x720. So the head naturally prints 720 in 4 passes. When you up it to 8 pass and keep the 720 resolution, in order to keep it at 720 the head fires fewer...
