  1. colorspan displaymaker x-12 72 trash?

    if you want to gut it and sell the scrap metal, you'd get a few bucks out of it. HP finally discontinued it and there will be no more ink once the existing inks have left the shelf. it's a good bit of sheet metal though, so you may be able to score 100 bucks off of it.
  2. rasterpor 5.....

    You do know that you can take a cart out, replace it with a full cart while you're printing overnight, then return the near empty cart to the printer the next day, right? This allows you to print overnight (with your full cart) then empty the original cart while you are on site finishing...
  3. Printer Recommendation Needed - Kid's Room Wall Art

    If these are going to be framed prints (with a front glass especially), I'd go with an aqueous printer as well. they are significantly cheaper, have a great gamut, have no outgassing, and can almost be as easy as printing to a desktop printer. The Epson 9800s or HP Z-series are both excellent...
  4. Waiting for my JV33!

    The ES3 is... less than stellar. I've found that using the stock profiles, running it less than 12pass leads to lots of banding. I'm sure you could create your own profiles and get better results, but ES3 ink just isn't as tested or dialed in as the SS21. It hasn't been reformulated in over a...
  5. CET Flatbed Printer Electrical Issues

    Well, Gino, there goes your civil and adult communication. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
  6. Caldera keeps crashing when using the nesting feature

    Caldera 9.10 build 130607 came out a little over a month ago. if you haven't updated, try that patch. Also, the patches will often check other common files, one of which may be corrupt. if not, reinstall from the latest caldera 9.10 image over the existing setup. it'll rewrite all the core...
  7. Gerber Composer alternative

    The only other software that works with the Gerber printing system is Flexi. You can run Gerber plotters from most anything under the sun that's generic enough, but the EDGE FX is designed to run as part of the Gerber Matched System (Composer/EDGE/EnVision). I don't think Gerber 2.0 will run...
  8. Graphtec ARMS system, neccessary?

    The CE6000 has an improved mark sensor and programming (the same that is in the FC8600 i believe) that makes it scan faster and more reliably on more materials. I have used it and it's pretty impressive (scanned hand drawn marks and cut in registration) But, for print and cut registration, any...
  9. Applying Custom .icc to Epson printer

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/printing-color-management-photoshop.html I think the part you are missing is to select "printer manages colors" instead of "photoshop manages colors" when you print. photoshop won't load your printer color defaults, you'll do that through the printer driver.
  10. Banner Profile wanted ...

    What media are you using? Make sure it's compatible, and if you can't find it using the HP Media Solutions Locator, check the vendor's website. I'm a HUGE fan of Ultraflex's Jetflex Matte. It just plain works, and it's a good price. ultraflexx.com https://h30623.www3.hp.com/
  11. Latex compatible static cling?

    In My Experience, most staic clings don't work well with high ink coverage on second surface, if at all. I've printed several clings on the GF 208 on the L26500. Because they have a good amount of white on them, they cling inside or outside. When you have a full image bleed, or most (more than...
  12. Best place to list a Mimaki CJV30-100 for sale?

    are you just not running it? or is it damaged? depending on which avenue you want to go, craigslist or the Memeber Classifieds here may work.
  13. Ripping to a Mimaki cjv30-160 using Mac OSX

    Go with Caldera. there are probably 50 people that run it on here that will tell you how solid it is. I've run it on numerous macs (Caldera only runs mac for their sales reps), as well as PC. If you've got an older Intel Mac, you can just use that one as a dedicated RIP, or install it on your...
  14. Huge shout out to Scott Tessier

    I heard Scott left, but I guess he's back. He's awesome, and trained me on Laminator repair several years ago. He knows everything you ever needed to know about putting one flat thing onto another flat thing :)
  15. I know there's no perfect printer, but help me get close...

    "listed print speeds" for the L26500 are below: 4-pass bidirectional 22.8 m²/hr (246 ft²/hr) 6-pass bidirectional 16.5 m²/hr (178 ft²/hr) 8-pass bidirectional 10.6 m²/hr (114 ft²/hr) 10-pass bidirectional 9.0 m²/hr (97 ft²/hr) 12-pass bidirectional 7.6 m²/hr (81 ft²/hr) 16-pass bidirectional...
  16. Latex L25500 Question

    The average i have seen for heads is anywhere from 3-8 litres per head. If you have your printer in an office condition (rather than a warehouse), you keep up with the other maintenance parts, and are running fairly standard stuff through the printer, 7+ litres shouldn't be uncommon. For those...
  17. Vendor for clear decal material?

    depending on the width you need, Oracal 3651C. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, they have other materials that come in clear as well. http://www.oracal.com/products/_docs/qrg/digitalQRG-0512.pdf (they list it as "transparent")
  18. I know there's no perfect printer, but help me get close...

    i'm the exact opposite of Jim, so maybe this will help. I like the HP, and in an automotive shop, 220 shouldn't be an issue. The heat, if you have a decent height ceiling, also doesn't bother me. I've had them in small (100sqft) rooms, and that's a bit excessive, but i've done open houses with...
  19. To buy or not to buy?

    The CJV30 is not an option in Flexi 8.1. You'll have to upgrade to FlexiCloud, or roll that money into AI and run out of the included RIP. I like Rasterlink, but it does have issues with Profiles (so will FLexi, to be 100% honest), and having to send print to cut out of AI is odd to get used to...
  20. Hp third generation latex printers-latex 3000

    Considering it's being added to the top of the previous LX850, Expect over 125k, if not more. I wouldn't be surprised at over 150k.
