  1. Can you judge my testprint please?

    that is a fine test print. You need to post the problems with your blacks. Most likely a profile or RIP problem.
  2. When is a printhead dead?

    Awesome! I'm glad it's sorted. My machines are acting up a bit right now. they get a little more finicky during change of seasons. Partly because my shop environmentals are bad and take a little time to get dialed in.
  3. Océ Arizona 318 GL

    but the CET color gamut is less than on the fb700. I'm curious to see how muted the CET color is compared to another brand like HP of Oce. A slightly muted gamut is better compared to a brighter ink that wipes off. haha.
  4. Océ Arizona 318 GL

    There are a couple threads on this exact topic. CET is coming out or has come out with a Q series printer. The q is for Quality. : ) I've spoken on the phone at length with CET and they're a top notch company. I am impressed with the 318, but it does not have the speed I would want for...
  5. Linear Encoder Failed!

    I had a horrible problem with my encoder this last spring. I kept cleaning the encoder with little to no improvement. I ended up taking out the encoder reader/sensor and cleaned it with iso. Waited for it to be completely dry, then reseated it. The trick is to CAREFULLY verify that you...
  6. Screw you 3M.

    Welcome Oracal! I love your products. :U Rock:
  7. Screw you 3M.

    I agree on both points, but worth a shot.
  8. Screw you 3M.

    I emailed my sign shop friends via facebook. I'm fuming right now. It's hard enough to run a business, let alone having a tier 1 supplier overcharging you for material and then stealing your business. What a slap in the face. Does anyone have a friend at a trade magazine? Seems like we...
  9. Screw you 3M.

    A petition sounds like a great idea. Small wrap and sign shops built this industry and now 3m wants to double dip? Sorry. No more 3m products for me. This will be viral quickly. Hitting up Facebook to report to my other sign shop buddies.
  10. HP L26500 or Mutoh 1624

    I totally agree with Roland Corporate support. They have bent over backwards for me over the years. Local dealers are pretty bad in our area.
  11. HP L26500 or Mutoh 1624

    L28500 is the way to go. :) I love that you can print fabric much better with a latex machine than a eco or sol machine. Eliminating farming out dyesub jobs. Most of the dyesub work I do is banner graphics, so it doesn't need to be dyesub anyway. The only thing keeping me from HP at...
  12. HP L26500 or Mutoh 1624

    I'm hoping Roland throws down some amazing tech on the 4 series.
  13. HP L26500 or Mutoh 1624

    Roland is releasing a new 4 series printer in about a week. Hold off and see what they have cooking. If it's more of the "same" I may be moving onto HP. If there is real innovation, I'll stick with Roland.
  14. Screw you 3M.

    I've switched to ocacal and Avery. 3m can bite me.
  15. VP feed direction Linear scale. Artbot in please

    :bushmill: Here is a drink Andrew.
  16. When is a printhead dead?

    Sounds like you've got it sorted. You can buy manifolds for about 15-30 dollars. I've cracked two over the years.
  17. When is a printhead dead?

    It doesn't seem logical, but I had this problem once. My magenta head would not print magenta, but it printed cyan fine. I ended taking my cyan and magenta heads out and swapping them. It's been printing fine for two years. For whatever reason the head that I bought to replace a bad...
  18. When is a printhead dead?

    Right JJ. Swap with the neighboring head. If the drop out follows the damper your problem is the ink train. If it stays at the head. It's manifold/head.
  19. When is a printhead dead?

    You have an air leak. I've been there. It's very hard to find them, but you've got one. Swap the dampers from another dead and see if the problem follows the head or the dampers.
