The error is a CR motor overload which just means the printer tried to move the head but didn't receive feedback that it actually moved. Most CR motor errors are caused by head strikes and/or dirty encoder strips. Since you heard a bang, check around the head and motor/drive system to make sure...

Did you do this part? Power up in service mode. In the service mode go to system switches. Scroll to page 10. change the read out [ should look like this 10000000 ] to 10000100. If you didn't that is your issue. This parameter tells Versaworks what type of ink it is using. I have run into the...

Run a cleaning cycle and watch the waste ink tubes. If ink comes out and the head still doesn't print, you have a blown fuse. If ink doesn't come out at all, you have clog/s and/or air leaks in the maintenance system, the head, and/or the dampers/ink lines.

I have had them replaced before with success. Check out your local music shop to see if they have an amp repair guy on staff. I have had our local guy fix it for $25! Sometimes the actual USB circuit is broken and that takes a lot more expertise to fix and would need to be sent out to a more...

They say they have been in business for 11 years but the website was only registered 6 months ago, they're in Indonesia and their prices are lower than I have seen anywhere else. Three big red flags.

Globalgarage.com is specifically setup to sell printers and equipment. I would try them out.

Error 202 is a device construction error that shows up when you try to install a non-oem head most of the time. It also shows up when the head is not plugged in or the head memory is malfunctioning. Check your head cables to see if they are plugged in all the way. After that, you could check the...

I assume the reason you know is because the employee told you about the situation. He didn't have to. This says more about the employee than anything else. You're going to lose him one day either way. Preventing him from growing personally will make him leave much sooner.

Flexi has always felt old and outdated to me when it comes to the UI. It's a shame because the engine behind the scenes has always run well for me. When I show new customers Flexi they always go, when was this software last updated? And I say, "This year believe it or not."

The 1624 and 1324 are identical machines other than width. Make sure you turn the machine off and unplug it before starting the install. Even the maintenance station can short out when the machine is off and plugged in.

Per Google: Decal - a design prepared on special paper for transfer onto another surface such as glass, porcelain, or metal. Sticker - an adhesive label or notice, generally printed or illustrated. Synonym - Decal To me, decals are what my father and I put on our model rockets growing up as...

It is possible that the encoder sensor has failed or shorted out. Normally on JV3s you don't see all of the heads stop printing at once unless it is that. It could be a blown main board but usually it only affects one head or you get streaking.

The process to switch from solvent to dye sub is a little more complicated and you could end up needing a new head. It all depends on how the flushing process goes and how old the head is. The correct way to switch is to empty the machine of ink, flush it a couple times with solvent flushing...

The longest you should ever soak a head is about an hour in my opinion. Anything more is over kill and it can cause issues like this. All a head soak does is allow solution to wick up into the dry ink that is causing the clog. After an hour, the solution has already done it's job as well as it...

If you can't go through a set of inks in a year, you are not ready for a flatbed. You will be paying more for the lease than you would be making in revenue. The shelf life doesn't have to do with brand, it has to do with how the inks are manufactured specifically for the LED lamps. So if another...

If you have Illustrator you can just use the Rectangular Grid Tool. You tell it how big to make everything and it just creates the grid for you.

The SC500 was a cluncker when it came out over a decade ago and nothing has changed since. Also, they no longer manufacture parts for this machine. Roland stopped supporting them years ago and ran out of parts for them soon after. Mutoh is the only place we can get parts for this machine because...

I just checked and Mimaki says 5 years+ on the LED lamps.

I think it is going to be different for different models. Early LED machines were not great as they were slower. The Mimaki JFX200, which is a newer UV machine, uses LED lamps. They don't require shutters as they do turn on and off instantly. They also don't heat up nearly as much as regular UV...

Price the waste into the product and keep on keeping on. Unless you are more environmentally conscious. In that case, you aren't going to find a lot of 24" banner that wasn't slit down from another bigger size where waste is being thrown out anyway. The best size, that isn't slit with waste...
