+100 for Summa Tech support. They'll walk you through figuring it out. I've never dealt with more knowledgeable phone support than Summa's.

I'd have to say that forgetting to unplug the printer when changing a print head and blowing the main board was a pretty big one for me. No scars from it though, except in the pocket book.

Pure gold! I hope she sees the humor in it.

I use AdobeRGB and since the version of wastach rip I use doesn't have the black point compensation feature (another reason I miss colorburst). I will convert my files to the printer profile and let adobe perform the black point compensation if there's any photos that require help with shadow...

Don't feed the troll.

If you had a 100 page catalogue with every product closecropped and 10-20 products per page they could be a real time/money saver. Back in the days before anybody offered alpha channel color selective masking we had to closecut a christmas tree for a major retailers christmas catalogue cover...

The DX5's are designed for a smaller particulate size. Using older heads designed for a larger particulate size shouldn't be an issue. Printing on anything is cool, but I saw no mention of a white ink being available. I would have to assume that their process inks are translucent so this could...

Cool thanks!

I've always just used my eyes to determine the max chroma value. However using the older X-Rite DTP41UV strip reader it's more of a pain to read individual patches. I really like the chroma based limiting of the colorburst RIPs I've used. It prevents you from resetting your linearization curves...

I've got the canoscan 8800F. It's an awesome little scanner. The LED light source delivers fantastic quality scans of transparencies. I still own a drum scanner, but will use the canon over it since the quality is just as good. The only time I'll bust out the drum scanner now is when I have a...

I've had to suspend my advertising because I'm too busy for more work. Now I'm looking at buildings around town so I can expand the business.

Evidently SJM was afraid we might be thinking he's somewhat of a fool. So he decided to respond and remove all doubt.

Between 8,000 and 11,000 I'd say. Even with water based inks, if you can't confirm the machine was mothballed properly, you could be in for some major $$$ repairs if the head is clogged.

Perform a drop position adjustment through the maintenance menu.

Yet another useful thread derailed by SJM. Don't feed the troll.

Here's an old VW bus that any sign shop could use. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=665812

You need new heads, pump, ink lines, dampers, and probably a capping station. I'm not sure what's going on with your media sensor. It being taped off may indicate there was an issue with it at some point. Given the cost of parts and the value of the machine on the used market you may want to...

Heat and take up roller tension will stretch the material as it travel over the printer platen. The heat and tension stretch the material as it prints and then when it cools it winds up shorter. Reducing heat and/or take up roller tension will help to reduce this issue of varying print length...

Do they have a demo machine they can pull a cartridge from? I do the same thing with ink (just in time inventory) and when ND came up short once. They pulled a cartridge from a demo machine on their floor and let me have it. We had the same agreement in place for inks. They maintain the...

+2 for the convex vinyl. I use it with the 12 mil remington laminate. The same combo also works well for dirt bike graphics.
