  1. Roland sc500 help please

    1. Calibrate bidirection and feed. 2. If all your nozzles are firing it's a profiling problem. 3. Test profiles till you get one that works. Another thing - we just bought a Roland and had issues with grainy prints but now it's fine. The only thing I can put it down to is the flushing...
  2. Attention HP l25500 owners!

    Thanks Chris. Sounds like there are a lot of happy users out there.
  3. Attention HP l25500 owners!

    I've just been offered one of these printers at a crazy price and wondered whether I should take it up. I already have 2 Roland Soljet IIIs and an old HP5500. Maybe the latex would be handy for sertain applications, such as printing wraps. Also - do you get the edge curl on full colour...
  4. Need a Mac...

    Oh really. It's just an OS. Tell him to learn the different keyboard shortcuts and get on with his job.
  5. Wrapped my bike

    I know we are late to the party but I decided we should offer wraps as part of our service so I sent my trusty assistant Nick off to the Avery wrap class. Then to get some practice gave him the job of matte black wrapping my Streetfighter. I really wanted a black one when I bought it a few...
  6. Color Profiles

    Thanks for sharing this info eye4. Invaluable advice as usual. Anyone who does their own profiling should bookmark this page.
  7. How can I remove this? Weathered Alumalite Wrap

    If it's a digital print on the front go over it with grey back vinyl after telling him the back is unusable. If that's not an option bin it, chalk it up to experience and move on to something you will make money on. Trying to save money for cheap customers usually ends up costing you in some...
  8. Flash on iPad's and iPhones?

    You better email youtube and tell them the bad news.
  9. Arlon DPF8000 Bands like crazy

    If it's only in heavy ink areas you can still probably get a decent print with a profile that restricts/limits ink more.
  10. Offered partnership, need advice.

    The only partner you should ever have is your wife.
  11. Attitude.

    Some people I give credit, others are COD. And sometimes I work out an arrangement like your customer has suggested if they are a bit short. It's my call though. I generally try not to be a d1ck about it unless I want to stop working for them. Keeping it businesslike and not taking it...

    AD Universal are in Sydney.
  13. What cutter to buy

    Ha I still have the FC2100-60 and keep it for a backup plotter. Now I use a Summa D160R and highly recommend it.
  14. HPDesignjet 5500PS Print Head Problem

    Like Bill said, pull them all and reseat them. Before doing anything too hasty you can also try going through the tube changeover process as if you are switching to dye inks. I forget the buttons to press but it tells you to pull the heads and cleaners then tubes. No need to pull the tubes just...
  15. Do you do it before or after lamming?

    I usually wait 20 minutes or so for the print to dry. I found most lams give unpredicatable results when profiled so I just do unlaminated. Occasionally I do a quick and dirty profile if I have a grey image which a lam is giving a cast to.
  16. file not embeded in illy - what to do?

    Opening the file in Reader Pro, then right clicking with the Touch Up object tool gives you the Edit option which will open the image in Photoshop.
  17. Cutting Alumalite

    We cut through the top side ally with the Excalibur then let it drop and snap up. This leaves a fairly clean edge though we usually run a file over it so nobody cuts themselves on it. For large orders our supplier will deliver pre cut.
