I was always told to only use distilled water on the encoder strip, that any solvent could haze or fog the surface of it, which in theory would ruin it. If you've got some ink globs on there I doubt water will get it off. Try diluted alcohol sparingly and gently, I'd have to believe they made...

I'm sure you're thought of it but I'm going to throw it out there anyway... encoder strip... every time I hear of anything wandering or walking in the head travel direction that's the first thing that pops into my head. Not sure if it's at play here if this is only happening during media...

Is it a gray plastic tube or is it the metal roll holder with the rubber bands? I'd assume they're both the same.

Just making sure your Seal is the same as ours. Ours (62 base) uses a plastic tube for the takeup. It's about 2.5" outside diameter, so a half-inch smaller than a media core.

The internet is king now. Spend the money on a decent website with top-notch SEO, invest in and implement a comprehensive social media strategy, buy some highly targeted pay-per-click internet ads (adwords), and spend what's left over to join some local networking groups. That will get you many...

Are you saying basically just flatten a cardboard core enough that it barely slides onto the plastic take-up tube? I never thought of that, it sounds like it might work, as long as having a non-round takeup core wouldn't cause any uneven tension issues...

Just found some watercolor paper on LexJet's site that is supposedly solvent printable. Ordered a sample roll... fingers crossed... Still trying to track down something recycled looking but I'm probably out of luck.

3" cores are too big to fit on the take-up tube.

We use duct tape to tape the backing to the tube, and when it's full we cut the duct tape and remove the half sticking to the tube, then bang the end of it on the floor a few times on each end to loosen the paper up and the tube usually slides out with a little work. Still a royal pain in the...

I have a client looking for "artsy" papers for some art reproductions. We've got canvas down, but they're looking for some recycled-looking or cotton papers, or watercolor-type papers. Does anybody know of any? I've searched Sihl and Magic's sites and don't really see anything too out of the...

Too low for wallpaper IMO, with no print platen heat at all the ink sits on top of the media too much and is prone to abrasion. Actually another plus for the new Epson media feed device, flatter media means higher heat, higher heat means more durable prints.

Rooster, it's the material, not the printer. I've had exactly zero head strikes on any media on our JV33 except for Korographics wall paper, which is what we're printing right now on the Epson too. We run Ultraflexx banner on the JV33 with the heat at 45/45/50 with no issues at all and the head...

I actually have 5 that I open immediately: woot.com facebook signs101 gmail twitter

very cool!

Bush was there, it's all his fault...

Quick update... I complained to my dealer about the crap job the Epson does handling thick/heavy media and the next day a package from Epson arrived containing their new/modified media feed. The day after that, a tech showed up to install it. Props to Epson's support, that's impressive. The...

I don't think it's going to be drastically different. But I'd expect to see a significant increase in digital displays in retail environments, significantly more direct-to-substrate printing and significantly less self-adhesive vinyls used. I'd guess by then some new cheaper and greener ink...

Here's our work order (it's got an extra page on there for extra items, actually page 2 of this .pdf is the first page of the work order, page 2 is page 2 of it, and page 1 is our job board). The work order is sequentially numbered in the space at the top. All invoices, estimates, and files...

+1, much better option than some no-name rebranded machine made by god only knows. Remember, service and support after the sale will make or break you with printers, so get a machine with excellent dealer and factory support.

I gotta' agree with Gino too, you come off more fishy than the potential client. The coffee shop thing doesn't seem weird, that's pretty common, we do it all the time, but the 75% cash deposit would make me walk without hesitation. If he's not sure if he wants to follow through, ask him to pay...
