  1. L25500 - ? how to disable, or opt out of printhead calibration??

    I feel for you Doug and hope you get this worked out. I have looked into Latex but the complexity of the printer (with support being multiple hours away by jet) is over shadowing the benefits Latex brings to the table. I'd see if you could get any kind of trade in value on the HP and take a...
  2. Looking for Driver for MASTER XY-300P

    Well, this app shows that it supports your plotter (last page of the cutter list): http://inkcut.sourceforge.net/ It's open source but only runs on Linux. Might be able to be up and running on the cheap if you can deal with setting up a Linux partition on your system. wayne k guam usa

    Got this in my shop inbox this morning: For the second time in a day, taking 0. During this time, Nadia's brother encourages her to go all the way. October and slowed her initial survey work of the season. The mark stays on the finger for nearly 20 days. Paris Conservatorium with finding...
  4. Okay, so who figured this one out............??

    I would have moved the shelves with a crowbar and maybe a 10lb sledge, in and out on schedule - no charge for the extra service. wayne k guam usa
  5. Buying a Graphtec

    Don't go for the lowest price. Look for someone close by that can offer quick support. Plotters are much less error prone over printers but they can have issues..... wayne k guam usa
  6. mutoh vj 1204

    I don't own this printer but I do have the service guide for it. If you don't have a copy send me your email and I will get it to you. One thing you can do to reset the printer is to pull the plug out of the wall and hit the power button on the keypad a few times to discharge the capacitors...
  7. Watch this

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfNOgWGME_c Pretty amazing, although I think the music is the same tune they play on United Airline flights to keep you pacified while waiting for the plane to take off. wayne k guam usa
  8. Upgrading Flexi 8.6

    You don't need Versaworks or Flexi's crop marks - you can set them from Illustrator using the Cutting Master plug-in from the Graphtec. Set up your file to print - add the crops in Illy, print in Versaworks, cut the contour paths from Cutting master. I set my print files up with crop marks...

  10. A mini vent

    Colin, if you had used one less "!" this could have been a micro-vent. My bigger problem is with long established customers that drop files on me Friday night and ask for a Sunday install, or should they call a second shop if we can't meet the deadline. wayne k guam usa

  14. Loading Graphtec Software

    Are you logged in as Admin? if you are try holding down the Crtl and Shift key when you click on the installer and run it at the admin level when it asks you to. Maybe log off the net and turn off all anti-virus and firewall stuff (if you trust the package you downloaded from Graphtec). Not...

  18. Printable images

    Scale it to the size you will be printing it at. Set the screen view zoom to 1 to 1 (100%) Flexi is not known for its accurate screen rendering (maybe in the cloud it has been improved) but you should be able to see how pixelated it will print. Look for compression noise & blocky solid colors...
  19. WTF is wrong with project managers for construction companies?

  20. Valuejet 1204 Error 075 Head Cable

    The service guide is on the way. Hard to tell what is wrong but it may be as simple as opening up the machine and clean & re-seat the data cables between the main board - print head and keypad. One quick thing you could try would be to unplug the printer - press the power button a few...
