Technically you're right and wrong. It is a lighting issue but it's also a profile issue. What he's seeing is called metamorism. To oversimplify (again, sorry), his profile is not printing a neutral gray and the higher the color temperature of the viewing light (all the way up to sunlight) the...

Gino, are you using a canned profile or custom one made in house? I'd be shocked it this wasn't a profile/color management problem entirely. Grays are hard to print because your RIP sees that color and reinterprets the CMYK values so it prints what it thinks you're expecting (that's an extreme...

Thanks Kraig, much appreciated, and thanks for the business!

I'm not a Roland person so I'm speculating based on past experience with other machines, but that looks electronic/data related and not head/nozzle related. I wouldn't think you'd get an error code for clogged nozzles. If you have any extra data/head cables try swapping those around first. If...

We've had good results with Tape Technologies and lately Oracal's banner tapes. I used to hate Oracal's, but it seems like they reformulated the adhesive or something because it sticks a lot better than it used to. Make sure you're cleaning the backside of the banner with alcohol before...

Just out of curiosity why not upgrade to Productionhouse from Postershop so you can do profiles within Onyx? No new hardware or OS to deal with, no new program to learn, etc., and probably would end up being quite a bit cheaper overall. Profling in PH is really easy.

We run the Production House suite (RIP Center, Layout Tool, Cut Server, Media Manager, etc.) to drive 3 printers and a cutter on a system with these specs: -i7 860 @2.53ghz -16gb RAM -Win7-64 bit The OS and non-essential programs are on one Intel SSD, Onyx is on a second Intel SSD, and there...

Orange is a very difficult color to print correctly in process color. The better your profiles are the better it'll print, but it's still a slippery slope. I would recommend reducing the magenta back from 75% to maybe 68%-ish to see what happens. Orange will easily cross the line to red if...

Looks killer!!

Love our Festool track saw. I do agree it's got a fairly limited blade selection (or rather the selection is extremely expensive). But it cuts soooo nice.

What is your budget? You said "banners by the hundreds", so to me that makes me think you should be looking at a $50-100K unit. If you're printing a hundred banners at a pop, an HP L280 or a Roland XF is not going to cut it IMO. A Mimaki JV5, Roland AJ, or an entry-lever UV hybrid is more in...

I know nothing about this company so can't help you out there, but if you're in a pinch and need to get a replacement product out the door quickly, call Orbus. They should be able to produce a tent for you in a few days max. Probably not ideal but it may be quicker than waiting for the other...

Is that Dayton OH??

Orajet 3105HT. sticks like glue.

I wouldn't do this. A. If the heads are clogged, you're looking at significantly more money to get it running that the machine is worth. Easily $4000-$5000 in parts alone for new heads, dampers, pump, ink lines, etc.. Plus labor if you aren't mechanically inclined enough to install and...

we're laughing hysterically at that over here!

Yep, I guarantee that's 3/4" home depot conduit with a couple 90-deg elbows on it. We don't build these for customers but we refer them there all the time to make them themselves. Works great and that conduit is incredibly strong and rigid

That's pretty slick, I like it a lot!

Your bidirectional calibration is off, either because the head height accidentally got changed, or just from use (I've noticed over time it can "creep" a bit and needs periodic re-calibration. Double-check your head height is where you want it and the set screws are tight (DON'T overtighten...

So cool! I've never seen an albino deer before, what a beautiful creature. We have a mother and two babies living in our backyard right now too, we love waking up every morning to see them out there. It's strange for us because we live on a half-acre lot in a suburban neighborhood so it's a...
