  1. Vinyl Cutter for High Volume Stencil Production

    if oyu're looking for something in that small of a size, a sproket feed (like an hs/gs plotter from gerber) or even a smaller flatbed cutter (like graphtec's FC2250-60) may be better for you. The flatbed will give you higher accuracy over long periods of time, because the vinyl doesn't move...
  2. Rasterlink 5 activation

    Contact Mimaki. Tell them you bought the printer and software from someone, and ask them to delete the registration. They will need the (long) password for RLP and the SN of the printer it's linked to. If you have all that, it should only take a day or two for them to remove the entry from the...
  3. CET 5x10

    I'm part of the install for serial number 001 for the 5x10 machine. It is in transit now, and will be installed Jan 14th. CET had some issues that didn't occur on the similar hybrid model, and had to go back to engineering for a bit. When you talk to CET, just ask them flat out what is taking...
  4. Eps file printing high...not sure why

    Then perhaps there is a margin setup in RLP? if you take your EPS file, open it in your vinyl cutting software, and send it from there, do you get the same results? also, in your original image, there is white space around your colored border. is that part of the image, or does the border bleed...
  5. Onyx Re-calibrating Media

    you can run sheets, but you need several feet of the media to make it possible. 30" won't cut it. It looks like (i just tested in Thrive) the minimum media width is 36" to recalibrate on the L26500. If you have an offboard spectrophotometer (like an i1), the print is much smaller.
  6. Eps file printing high...not sure why

    most likely you have a problem at your printer. if you are placing your sign blank on the table, and it is printing higher than the bottom of the sign blank, then where you think the start point is and where the print thinks the starting point is are two different places. if both prints gave...
  7. Do I need Resizing Software?

    I'm not sure if this is still the case, but in CS3 & CS4, Photoshop used 2 different algorithms for scaling. one was a much nicer scaling (used for slight enlargements), but took a lot longer to render, and the other was faster (for huge enlargements) but didnt' provide as good of results. I...
  8. Ready for a printer

    If you won't have enough work to keep it running daily, then white ink will just have you throwing more money down the drain. You need a print that will be just fine sitting for a few days at a time. Most of your eco-solvent printers will do that just fine, but the HP Latex is really the best in...
  9. Onyx Re-calibrating Media

    The L-series uses a very wide swatch pattern, so I'd think the minimum for profiling would be 42 inches. you may be able to reduce the size of the swatch, but I've never tried it on anything less than 54 inches.
  10. Onyx Postershop on Windows 7

    Honestly, the x64 won't do you a bit of good, as ONYX7 is 32bit. it'll run just as nice on a 32bit system. also, postershop onlys allows for 1 RIP at a time, so you're not going to be able to use multiple cores effectively, and ONYX 7 doesn't do hyperthreading very well. also, it's getting...
  11. Laminator is my new best friend!

    If you go to the hardware store, you an find a rubber cleaning block for saw blades. It looks and feels like rubber cement, and should be a yellowish color. You can also get them from a lot of suppliers. (http://www.advantagesignsupply.com/SEAL-Image-Roll-Laminator-Cleaner-4) You open the gap...
  12. Moving printer next door

    make sure its temp controlled for your printer. opening and closing that door in Miami while printing wouldn't be the best thing for print consistency :)
  13. Graphtech Error Code

    your "step size" on either the software or plotter was most likely the culprit. The Step Size on the plotter is found in the I/F menu, and is on the last tab if you're using the CM2 plugin. other systems either have the value set (i.e. ONYX uses 1016 by default), or there is a setting menu for...
  14. R.I.P. Dave Brubeck (Dave Brubeck Quartet)

    NPR did an really nice piece on him today. http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2012/12/05/166571712/remembering-the-vital-force-of-jazz-pianist-dave-brubeck
  15. Onyx help!!

    If you are running it on a win7 machine, make sure UAC is turned off (never notify). you can also try to right click and "run as administrator". if those don't work, uninstall it completely (including the registry entries from HKLM & HKCU), reboot and reinstall. sometimes its just a permissions...
  16. CET FK512x - Voltage & Temp Settings

    contact CET. they shoudl be able to help out. as a rule of thumb, too high of voltage leads to overspray or ink trails (the droplet of ink explodes), too low and it doesn't come out in time. As far as head temps go, the higher temps will allow ink to flow smoother, but also may wet it out too...
  17. Valuejet 1204 clogged nozzles

    should be 600 or thereabouts.
  18. Cannot open port

    find out what your IP address on your new computer is. that is assigned by your router, and may be a different one than the wireless one you were getting before. Once you know that, make sure you have your printer in the same "area" on the network. What i mean by that is, in your example, if...
  19. OK...try to make this simple for me...

    more to the point on his screen shot, make sure you have "use color correction" selected from the top dropdown on the third tab. That kind of thing often happens when no ink limiting and no icc is being used. make sure you have that selected.
  20. Valuejet 1204 clogged nozzles

    if you haven't done it before, this sounds like a maintenance station gone. they should be replaced every year or two, depending on use. if the head can come back, a new maint station will do it.
