Thanks that is great info. All my heads are good just my magenta is slightly off and can see very slight magenta line on edge of some prints. I will message you if you can send the alignment software tool.

Do you have any more info on self-calibration? I have a 460 GT with 1 color just sightly out enough to be annoying. Can it be done without a service key?

Hi, did you have a tech come and do an alignment afterward?

On these forums we discuss equipment and processes all the time but spend little on best business practices. I found we were giving away so much free setup time for resubmitted files and easy touch ups that added up to at least an hour a day of billable time. That's $25k per year!!

I see where it allows me to enter percentages of the color but not a different CMYK breakdown.

Thanks for clarifying Nate1n22.

I am also reviewing the Trufire and have looked at Vanguard as well. Very impressed with Trufire. I love how people complain then never explain their issues.

Great Ill give that a shot.

Yes same values.

I sample a color in Onyx Thrive and the auto patches are so far off the sampled color. Any idea with this happens? I would think they would start close then change in lightness and hue.

Sounds like it's a pump issue. Are your filters new? Open the ink window is it always trying to fill? Pumps are pretty cheap and easy to replace. I'd do a filter then pump before replacing the head. Although sometimes the head does need replacing.

When I had that on my 460GT it was a bad firewire cable. Replaced it myself.

Also pull the cover off below the vacuum bed valves and look for any leaks around the ink pumps. Maybe put some electrical tape around the leaking reservoir. My 460 gives me a ink vacuum error as well after purging 1 head. Doesn't occur when all are purged. My tech says everything is in spec...

Change filters for sure. Also, the degasser goes bad and is not necessary. Cap it off and go direct ink line to reservoir. Also check around the ink pump for leaks.

Can anyone recommend a wholesale manufacturer of sign frames like pump toppers and bottom load pole signs? I see MDI and United but they look like retail online vendors. Thanks

I am definitely interested in the "building an e-commerce website," info.

Recently had the lever that puts pressure on the pinch roller break and had to replace it. If this happens to anyone I would be happy to let you know the process. There will be a loud bang when it breaks.

Been there with our 460GT. Tried everything then got out our checkbook. All head replacements are pricey though.

Have had good luck with Neenah Photo on HP 560.

Patrick you may want to seriously consider a cutter too. I bought my first UV in 2005 without a cutter and really wished I did. I have Oce Arizonas and a Colex cutter now and they work great together. I would even say buy a lower cost printer so you can get the cutter. We also cut tons of...
