The longer they dry the harder the ink gets, but who has time!!! I experienced this quite a bit when my printer (Mimaki) was new and the heads were set to low. I don't know if the Epson has adjustable heads but my scuffing issues are much better since I raised them up. You can use a water...

anal maintenance proves to be worth it. I read about these guys blowing their lines and sucking ink....I not sure if they in the printing business or if they own massage parlours!!!!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::clapping:

Had mine for over 5 years and have only replaced the capping station and the tech said it really didn't need to be done....ha!! Good maintenance practices prove to make printers last long. I have been thinking lately to buy a new printer but i just don't get excited anymore over change...

Why wont the lamination hold up? Use a 2ml lam.

On vinyl in full sun I got over 3 years. There was fade mind you but it was only noticeable if you compared it to a fresh print. Every colour is going to fade differently. I try to upsell customers to laminate them and warn them, but many just don't want to spend the money and accept that...

Thanks Fred, I will keep an eye on it. Just weird that in 15 years of running this machine that this happens now.

Honestly I have never even looked at the gqmgr. I am now and see you can run the equipment from within it. I send my jobs from composer and I do the cut from there also. I have a job currently ready to cut but I do not actually see anything in the gqmgr. I have not sent it for cut yet it...

I will have to make a habit to look from now on. I guess if you accidently hit the cut button twice and do not realize it, then it waits in que, even after the power has been shut off.

yes, thats the part that baffles me. How would I have caught this before it happened...is there something that would have been visible on the screen to indicate something like this was going to happen?

I have no idea how this can happen but it just did this morning and I have seen it before. I have not even had that particular computer on for 2 days since the last job it ran. This morning I set up a print cut job and when it finished printing I hit the cut button. Unfortunately it started...
