  2. Summa S140-D Vs Graphtex FC8000 54"

    I've had a D120 for four years and am selling to buy a D160 simply for the extra width. We had some issues reading the Opos marks but once we calibrated it for problem media it now works great.
  3. Take up reel

    You know the holes in the bracket where it attaches to the aluminium bar are slotted for adjustment.
  4. Take up reel

    We have 2 x XJs and their takeup reel looks the same. I think they are fantastic - we can print whole rolls without a hiccup.. so they mustn't be the same if you guys are having so much grief.

    Awesome idea now all I need is a suitcase full of crack.
  12. What is your mark up?

    Outsourcing hasn't really worked for me in the past so I really don't these days. As for customers coming back with a ridiculous price to beat - the last time I replied "I hope you get what you pay for".
  13. How much for that HP L25500 in your sign shop?

    I saw the output from the latex printers. It looked like some kind of waxy film was on the inks which everyone denied. I'm installing my third Roland this week. Outgassing? We laminate half an hour out of the printers and haven't had a failure yet.
  14. HP5500 Ink and Printhead Options

    I have one I hardly use too. Some of the ink and heads are a couple of years out of date but still print fine. The black stopped firing the other day so I sat it on a wet sponge for a while and it came back to life. The only problem with out of date heads is the warranty expires.

    Bordeaux ink carts in my rolands were just plug and pray.
  19. In need of Health discipline...where do I go?

    Join a gym and get them to set up a program for you. If they are any good they'll make sure you set achievable goals and you will start getting fitter and lose weight within the first month. Muscle burns more fat than blubber.
  20. Onyx Rip Issue

    What you are seeing is colour management doing it's job. The ICC profiles are converting the file input values to what they "should" be. Unless you have custom profiles for your media things will probably look off. Of course you can always use the colour replacement tool to alter the...
