Hard to tell from your photo but it looks like either lack of ink (dampers, clogged ink line maybe?), or another issue with the head. We had a similar problem a while back and it turned out to be the back half of the magenta head leaking (it was physically damaged, but you wouldn't know it by...

I had kind of ruled the agfa out because it was belt fed, but I've not seen it in person either. It looks to be pretty sturdy from what I've seen in pictures though. How is the speed and durability? What about ink costs? How much room does it really take up (it's hard to tell from literature...

If you're in Onyx don't worry about it, it won't see the masked stuff.

Depending on your RIP you might be able to leave the clipping mask. Onyx recognizes the image size as the size of the clipping mask, not what's outside it. If your RIP "sees" everything that is masked, then you'll have to follow Rick's advice and get to work with the pathfinder.

We're in the process of adding a flatbed to our lineup and I need some input on equipment. We're looking to stay in the $150k or less range, so we're in the middle to high end range of entry level equipment. We're not really looking for huge volume or to significantly increase our current...

Amazing is right, you know it's a bad economy when the prostitutes have to start making their own signs with Sharpies.

Mimaki JV33 or JV5. I'd get two or 3 JV33s for the price of one JV5 and have twice the throughput and to have backups.

Ah, okay, now it's making sense! Tracking typically refers to sideways skew or lack thereof. Yes, that's a problem with Onyx. I'd see if you can back it down to 7.2. We're on 7.2 and it's been the most stable, bug-free version of it we've had (we've been on it since 6.0).

Just to make sure we're on the same page, is the tracking issue the media skewing to one side or the other (crooked) or is OPOS trying to "shorten" the media, thinking it's shorter or longer than it actually is? If the media is skewing, software has absolutely nothing to do with that, it...

It sounds like the media is not loaded perfectly straight. If you're off a tiny bit, you won't notice it on shorter runs, but if you're off at all, the longer it runs out the more pronounced it becomes. I know it sounds over simple, but just make absolutely sure your media is cut square to begin...

I had bad luck with the GMI paper but it all depends on your printer and profile. FYI the Lexjet paper is actually the iVivid paper (I believe). Lexjet is a wierd company, I coudl never figure them out and don't like dealing with them. But the few times I ordered from them it was for the...

Getty Images is the Monsanto of the graphics industry. Creepy, I guess every industry has one...

GB2, we had similar issues with the 3686 splotchy finish a couple years ago, and returned a few rolls for replacement. We got through 3-4 rolls a month and haven't seen the issue resurface yet, I hope it's not going to. I agree, when you get that issue the print quality suffers, but if you get a...

Photopaper for a solvent printer always makes me chuckle, technically if you're printing photos you've got the wrong printer. But if you just want a nice quality paper that prints great, look into either the Sihl trisolv 3686 (3689 is junk) or the iVivid photo paper. We use the sihl for our...

What's your budget?

What kind of throughput are you after? Have you checked out the Mimaki JV5?

Good machine but imo you will regret the size. Once you start offering digital printing you'll be amazed how much you want/need the larger size. Don't buy it just to buy it, make sure you have the need for it, and then buy the proper machine/size for that need. Buy bigger/more machine than your...

So so sorry for the loss. I didn't know Matt but interacted with him on some threads here. he sure seemed like a nice guy, never trying to do anything but help. What a shame, so young. )-:

Change your quality settings to "smallest file size" when you save the .pdf, see if that helps. If not, try replacing the outlined text with text that is still text if you can. With pdfs, if there is alot of text, you're better off leaving it as text and not converting it to outlines. Outlines...
