  1. Hi from Australia!

    Hello :)
  2. Bordeaux ink

    There's always that tradeoff. IF you use OEM ink and something goes wrong. They'll probably fix it for you or point you in the right direction depending on the circumstances. If you use 3rd party ink and something goes wrong, they wont touch it.
  3. Strange TEST PRINT

    I'm curious how people let their printer print with the nozzles looking like the black nozzle test? Isn't there some sort of cleaning procedure every day or week to insure all the nozzles fire correctly? I dont use roll to rolls latex/solvant printers ect. we only run uv flatbeds.
  4. Onyx 12.1

    I never had 11 so not sure how big the differences where from 11 to 12. I went from x10 to x12. It was a decent jump. I'm an advantage holder which is basically a subscription. Any software upgrade is "free" I'm not sure if it's free to update from for example 12.0.0 to 12.0.1 which was an...
  5. Wierd printing.

    Do a re alignment and see what happens.
  6. Nix pro color sensor

    That i get. Not something i need. But didn't realise the product has been out for a while and thought i'd post it up.
  7. Nix pro color sensor

    So it's not "new" ha. interesting though. but I'll stick to my barbieri devices.
  8. Nix pro color sensor

    https://nixsensor.com/ I found this on the internet. It seems like a pretty basic spectrophotometer. I doubt you'd be able to create profiles with it, but it seems to be a neat little device that can read spot colours. It's not something i'd use in a print shop, but for a designer that works...
  9. What you guys do if you burn out?

    Are you working from home or a shop? if you have that much work. Then yes, look at hiring someone to help with the load.
  10. Need Advice on Flatbed Printer

    probably another 80-100k more than the 1280
  11. Need Advice on Flatbed Printer

    I run an Oce 480XT which is the next model up from the 300 series. Looks like the 365GT is an upgraded version of the 360GT. Main difference would be using the newer double heads which means it prints twice as quick. But i think most of the internals would be older tech to keep the price down...
  12. Roland Printing RED never looks good!!!!!

    Getting accurate colours The reason you're not getting accurate Reds if you go 0/100/100/0 and receiving something like 0/70/95/0 is because your ICC profile is not allowing it. The way the profile has been rendered thinks your colour gamut from your printer is not capable of producing that...
  13. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    People complaining about maintenance on a latex printer. I own UV flat beds. They require daily maintenance I.e nozzle cleaning, nozzle swabbing and cleaning under the carriage. And then i know my colour will always be consistent and no banding.
  14. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    I hate when people say "It's about 1.2m" About? i'll go and measure it... It's 1220mm :banghead:
  15. Should i get this used panel saw?

    We've got the space so we've got a huge 3.2m table saw. But if space is limited. Don't see why not. With signage you don't need any more than straight cuts. probably be easier than loading a table saw.
  16. What to Buy? What to Buy? Need advice and wisdom!

    Stick with the Oce. If you keep them maintained, they are not problematic. I'm pretty sure there's a few different contract plans, you should most defiantly speak to them for options. I have a 480xt. out of contract. brilliant machine. SwissQ would be another option but one of my service guys...
  17. "New" pet peeves

    +1 Having capitals makes it easy to read, but not always needed. Mine are all lowercase. with out the www.
  18. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    When people think it's no problem to get a full size image (3:4) to fit as a splashback that's 3000mm x 800mm. which to expect a full photo.
  19. Looking at a new flatbed printer - suggestions?

    I've got an Oce Arizona 480XT. Love it. love the support from oce also. I don't like swiss Q. i feel the machine is a little flimsy last time i seen one. Fuji is a relabeled arizona.
  20. ink vacuum system error

    judging from the users profile, Its an Oce Arizona 350gt. (the Acuity is exactly the same, just rebranded as fuji as fuji make the ink) The most common issue for a vacuum error is the vacuum reservoir that keep vacuum in the heads. they can start to split.
