30 cents per square foot is a very liberal estimate and will more than cover costs on pretty much every job. The only time it would be more than that is if you are double striking and in that case you just double the cost to 60 cents.

PSA: Never use alcohol ever when it comes to cleaning your printer or flushing heads. It will clog your head at worst and dry your cap top rubber out at best. We did an experiment by pouring alcohol and solvent ink together. It coagulated almost on contact. You can use alcohol on the encoders...

GCC Jaguars come with free software called "Great Cut". If you don't have the CD that came with it, register your machine on GCC's website and I believe you can download the software. Don't quote me on that though.

So when you did the cable swap, did you just cross the cables or move the actual heads to a different position? If you just moved the cables and it still printed black wrong, it's the head. If you moved the head positions, then you could have a head board failure, cable issue or both.

Ink level sensor Ignore the description for now about it being for a 1204 or 1304. I just verified with Mutoh that it is the same part as the 1614.

They call it a pack end sensor for some reason. We call it an ink level sensor. It is a combination of 2 sensors actually. One detects that the cartridge in in the machine and the other checks if it's empty. I have a part number for the 1204 and 1304 but not the 1614. I'm trying to find if it is...

Good to know! You know more about color than I do. Does it just make your job easier or do you think it actually looks better?

There are some 10 channel heads out there that may be able to be configured that way. I haven't seen it yet but i'm sure it's possible. If you get your machine professionally profiled, it can help a lot with gray scale images without needing the light black as well.

This is it right here. If you did change the sensors, it may be sticking out too far which makes the cartridge hit it on the way in and tells the printer it is empty. Once the card is tagged as empty, you can't reset it. If this is happening on all of the cartridges, the junction board that...

If after the cable swap the black head still fired like that, the head is bad. You can try to clean the terminals on the head where the head cables connect with rubbing alcohol. Let it dry for about 15 minutes and try again. If that doesn't work, unfortunately you are going to need a new head...

I didn't know my home state had a font! It looks just like all of the news paper headlines from when I was a kid.

In perfect working condition an SP-300V generally goes for $4000-$5000. That's about what we get for refurbished ones we sell. The more parts we have to put into them, the more they cost. The more parts you have to put into your machine to get it working, the less it is worth. An SP-540V might...

I actually had an experience that might help you out. I set up a CJV30 as a 4 color machine but in the software it was 6 color. So I printed out a 100% to 0% gradient of magenta and, because the light magenta didn't exist on the machine, it stopped printing magenta a little bit before half way...

I've never worked on that machine so take this with a grain of salt. On the JFX200 they have a float sensor to measure the level of the coolant. If the float gets stuck, which I have never seen happen yet, it would cause the machine to think it is not full enough and not run the pump. It could...

I'm sure there is someone on here with experience in Caldera to set that up but an easier solution might be to get a USB switcher. One of my customer's use one and he just flips a switch by the computer when he wants to change the USB cable over. It's not the exact solution you are looking for...

How far away is your Graphtec from your Illustrator computer?

If the Cyan started firing after moving it to the magenta slot and the magenta stopped firing when moved to the cyan slot, either the Cyan channels are completely clogged (unlikely for such a new head) or you have an electrical issue. Usually when one color goes out on these heads, it's a bad...

The best way to troubleshoot the connection is to connect the printer directly to the computer. You will have to use a cross-over cable if your operating system is older than Windows 7. Otherwise a regular Ethernet cable will work. If you can connect to the printer to the computer directly and...

I don't see the DX5 head going anywhere soon. They are still manufacturing the DX4 head and just recently in the past 2 years stopped manufacturing the DX3 heads. Plus the DX5 head is still being used in the VJ1204 and RJ-900X which are current model machines from Mutoh. I believe there is a...
