  1. Need Help grayscale is printing pink to deep red.. any ideas??

    The VP300 has 2 ink channels per colour. If one channel of a colour fails, this could lead to a huge colour deviation. Check the nozzle test (TEST PRINT on the printers keyboard). A possibility of Versaworks is to set colours to pure hue (not shure about the english translation) in the color...
  2. Need Help Summa S2t75 Material Differences

    It have not much to do with slipping. Depending of some media properties the cutting length may vary. It is the same issue with a lot of roll printers or cutters. With a S-Class Plotter you could save up to 8 media configurations, every one with a separate X-length calibration. And for easier...
  3. SUMMA S2 T75 PROBLEM, notches in circle letters, SEE PIC!

    You should do a knife calibration. You will find an instruction in the full manual on the CD or online at the summa website. And be shure that the knife depth is correct: the knife tip should not be much lower than the estimated thickness of the media. A knife which is set too low can make...
  4. Advise with electric specs on the 570

    There is a site preparation guide available to download on the HP Website. Search for Latex 570, click on "manuals". No UPS is neccessary, and very expensive too for the power consumption of a 570

  6. Summa S140 D-Series - Blade Holder Bracket Stripped-Repair?

    Strange. The list price of the Summa D-Head in Europe is 354 Euros.
  7. Leaving ink in a UV printer turned off

    HP for example says that if a FB500 stands filled up with ink without power, after two weeks half of the heads are unrecoverable damaged.
  8. Pinch roll Error SP300v

    The pinch rollers of course have to be on the grit rollers (the rollers on the bed), because that grit rollers are the ones driven by the feed motor. If one of the two rollers of a SP300 isn't on a grit roller and the printer would accept that, your media will crash because it will be fed one...

    Not useless. Incorrect written keywords will make this thread unfindable through forum search. Such a thread should not be useful for you only.
  10. summa opus reader question

    Before buying parts for a lot of money, just do a media calibration. Sometimes, for some reasons, because of media, hardware- or environmental issues, the OPOS-Sensors sensitivity needs to be recalibrated. Print a rectangle of 5 to 5cm, treat it like your original prints (lamination etc.)...
  11. How do I turn the canvas off in Flexi?

    No idea what you mean. If you mean that you have a coloured background you want to turn off, you can select the colour in the Design Central.
  12. summa opus reader question

    By the way: that sensor is called OPOS, not OPUS. Nothing to do with music ;) .
  13. summa opus reader question

    This 2 buttons are for factory calibration. If your plotter won't find registration marks anymore, have you done a media calibration (CAL MEDIA in the plotter menu)? If it completely fails, it could be that the sensor is damaged. This looks like that it is an older Cutter, because the new...
  14. Easiest print/cut with Summa

    Completely not understandable that someone suggest the contour cut solution with winplot instead of using a print and cut RIP. With Flexi you could generate copies in the RIP, not in the file, you could even nest different files together, and a really cool feature is batch processing of several...
  15. Latex 360 and 365 cannot print neutral grays

    One possible reason for prints not showing up neutral grays is the light source which is used to check the printed gray. Colour is reflected light, and depending on the light source colour could differ a lot. In addition, due to metamerism colours could match under one light source, and could...

  17. HP Scitex FB500 - clogged nozzles

    Thank you for the replies. Yes, a Performance Purge was done several times, thats why the CMYK-Heads are working good until now. And they are using original inks. Good idea to put something soaked with flush below the print heads. I know that from filling cap tops with flush on Rolands and...

  19. HP Scitex FB500 - clogged nozzles

    Because of a repair which have taken a few days because of haven't found the problem immediately and time for delivery of spare parts, a FB500 of one of my customers haven't cleaned correctly during some days. Nearly every nozzle was clogged, but while the CMYK-Nozzles are working fine again...
  20. Buying A Used 360 Hp Latex - Any Advice?

    There are a lot of topics around latex printers because a lot of people have one or more. In switzerland for example, HP is the market leader, while epsons, rolands or mutohs market share in the same printer class (44 to 104") is not worth mentioning. But, anyway, there are a lot of complaints...
