    Has anyone run into the issue with gradients dropping out of the production manager when a layout is sent at 100% size but prints correctly when scaled down? I ran a color check of the file for the customer at about 5% of the full size and it was good. When I sent the full sized print I got...

    Hi, I'm trying to print some double sided banner material. The black in the layout is making the printer think that the material is at the end of the roll and stops the print on the second side. Is there a setting to keep this from happening within the printer set up menu? I see something about...

    Anyone run into the problem of banding that is in the direction of the media movement but uneven, bad from the base on the right by the capping station and fading out to almost none at the top of the 54" material? I'm thinking the heater or material with it not being even all the way through...

    Anyone know a supplier for smooth pvc in lengths longer than the normal 8 or 10ft sheets? Looking for thin pvc that I can mount a laminated print on then stick on the wall.

    I have a project that involves placing a 12" panel stripe on the interior walls for a group of convenience stores. Just a strip from the drop ceiling down to about 12" running on all 4 walls.

  15. Unidirectional print mode 1304

    I have a 1304 and Flexi 8.6 rip to drive it. Is there a way to get this printer to print unidirectional without setting it to the 1 or 2 quality setting to get the full 53.xx" print width? I don't need the 8 or 16 passes or the 1440 by 1440/720 dpi options. I need banner quality and speed...

    Hey all, Could be me and my work habits but X5 does not seem to run very well under 64bit Win7. I get slow tool selections. Random crashes. Screen refresh and display errors. Long delays when using the clipboard to copy and paste or drag from one open doc to another. To see if it was...
