What he said. That was what I noticed way before the repeating pattern in the field. The pattern should all be facing the same direction.

has this been across multiple ink cartridges as well? I've not heard of any, but it may be possible for a bad lot of ink to be affecting your head life. If you've been contacting HP for replacement heads, they have a record of how many you've gone through as well. If you have an older machine...

That stuff is magical. Foothills makes awesome beer.

Every piece of software that prints direct (other than a RIP) outputs PostScript data. The device receiving that data has to have a postscript interpreter in order to convert that to actual dots of ink. Many indoor (aqueous) printers have build in PS handlers, but there are very few, if any...

Line sensor. If you've been running for 2 years, you're bumping up to the time when the Service Maintenance Kit should be performed. SMK #3, which includes replacing and calibrating the line sensor, was 500 bucks last I spoke with HP. The line sensor is on the head and is what the printer uses...

Any solvent printer requires regular maintenance. Unless Seiko has come out with something I'm not aware of, it will be a true solvent printer, which will require daily maintenance. Some people will do it weekly or a few times a week, but it should be performed daily. That being said, its only...

When people use photoshop effects (metalized, light points, etc) it will apply the effect and mask every object in the image. if you have a lot of objects that got this effect, there can be massive amounts of masking on it. A simpler way to get your contour would be to scale it to print size...

sadly, buying a 10-12 year old printer can often be more hassle than its worth. especially if you're buying from the previous owner. There are some mechanical parts on there that people are still interested in (its hard to find parts for those old machines), so even if you don't use it as a...

Just joshin' ya, but should a man whose name could be mispronounced "Gyno" be nitpicking names? :P i'm more saddened by poorly thought out American names. Foreign names can sometimes have a meaning in their native language.

a used hp 9000 is the worst investment you can make. they are great machines if they are running full bore, but when they stop printing, it takes an act of congress to get them up and running again. I'd assume you'll need a full PM kit (caps, pumps, belts, etc) new dampers, and more than likely...

There are also 10 and 12 mil rolled polystyrene that print perfect well on a roll to roll solvent. There is probably a solution to the problem you see yourself having, you just have to find out which one is best for you.

it could be a glitch in ONYX, so, upgrade to the latest version your key will let you run (10, 10.1 or 10.2 are all pay upgrades, anything in between is a free maintenance update) Also, make sure there isn't a stroke or something similar in your file. often I see a file that was designed, for...

Where are you located? There are probably regional and national companies that are more than able to help you out.

If you don't know, you can make a color chart in Flexi. Open the pantone library in Flexi, then in the View Menu, go to Create Swatch > Current Palette. Set your settings in Design Central, hit the check box, BOOM customer color chart exactly like you want it.

A biz card i saw a while ago, and thought it was pretty creative. I can't find the original image, but this version gets the idea across. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7238/6993986784_7688c4fb87_z.jpg

the only time i wish there was a "like" button on S101. I wish everyone could get good service from their vendors!

That was the only place I found it. advftp.net (login/pass are both adv1), then in the mimaki/manuals folder.

Mimaki Cutting Guide The Half Cut Settings start about page 6.

Dumb question first: Are your heads seated tightly? Or could the alignment brackets loose in any way? It's a long shot, but if the physical head is moving, that would explain the issue. Depending on media, random inaccurate dot placement could be static, or a bad head board, or issues with an...

Just finished up the first of these! some logistic issues (getting ink/heads shipped on time, but had time to spare), but the machine was cranking through product the 3rd day. End user had 1 other issue today with a motor controller, but CET got him resolved on that. The one I set up is a...
