  1. CET Flatbed Neg. Pressure issues

    OK, I know this is a month old, but I wanted to chime in (also, i've been away from S101, sad days) The print does not print "upside down". I assume you are printing from ONYX, which shows you the preview from top to bottom. the printer prints from the top point to the bottom of the image...
  2. Onyx 10 can't open network files because of long filenames

    The 80 or so character limit for characters was a windows issue, that shows up in ONYX 7 and ONYX 10. ONYX 11 has changed the way it imports files, and should have corrected this issue (initially, it didn't). You can also use hot folders (shared on the network) to drag and drop files directly...
  3. home printing business, 3dmuralls wallpapers, posters and anything in between.

    While I don't particularly disagree with any of these, I do want to bring up a couple points, which will probably be unpopular. 1) Everyone needs training. there is a limit to what you can do yourself. "no man is an island", and all that. If you think someone getting training is cutting into...
  4. Cutting lines on a traction fed plotter

    This ^ If you are only moving the media to advance to the next box (3/8" max) That may be the best avenue, as scan axis movement should be spot-on, while media-feed movement will vary.
  5. hello, I have a jv3-75 sp2 with problems - can you help?

    If you've checked all 4 heads and ribbon cables, just replace the slider board with a new one. You could still have bad ribbon cables, but the thought that you've fried all 4 heads or all 8 ribbon cables are bad exactly the same way seems doubtful. Go with the common denominator, and swap out...
  6. AI vector losing detail

    If it is a simple shape (i.e. 1 or 2 color), take it to a copy machine, enlarge it in black and white. The higher contrast will make it easier to trace, and the larger object you scan will make the trace easier. If you have an older B&W copier, the enlargement will also be a bit smoother than...
  7. Thru-cutting loooong strips...How would you do it?

    THIS. ^ If you need a special color, print, lam, roll it. then slit the entire roll, and cut the strips to length. many of your distributors should have a roll slitter, and they should do it for you without too much hassle.
  8. Seriously considering Solvent

    I think the part that people are overlooking is the one from above. There are no Solvent printers in the standard market (maybe some off brand ones) that print 2" thick. Solvent is typically heated from below, to open the pores and allow the ink to absorb slightly into the face of the media...
  9. Pricing on HP 26500 / 260

    HP (and Epson, FYI) have fixed minimum pricing on units. now, all the extras and add-ons can have a wide variance, but the list price of the machine itself should be identical.
  10. CET X press 500 - profile needed for Onyx

    Sorry. both are adv1 :)
  11. NAS For Small Business

    Enjoy it! I wish I could afford one, but I frankensteined a system and am about to put Amahi on it (www.amahi.org) to test it's features. Like i said, you have to manage a server, but they are a lot more flexible. (please say Greyhole works)
  12. CET X press 500 - profile needed for Onyx

    The profiles below are for CMYKW, but you can lie to your CET and say it's got the 5th channel if you want to see if they are better. https://www.advftp.net/#/PROFILES/CET/ If not, let me know, and I can see if there are other profiles out there. I think i've got some Spectra 50 series...
  13. NAS For Small Business

    If you are looking for something more robust, and want to invest, look into Synology devices. They are, hands down, the best built NAS systems on the market, but their price tag shows that. The QNAP, Drobo and other options will get the job done, but not as well as a Synology. The option of a...
  14. CET X press 500 - profile needed for Onyx

    Which Printhead? (Spectra or Ricoh) Which Ink? (49, 50 or 60 series) Which Colorset? (CMYK, CMYKW) There are some profiles available that we've created. let me know which you are looking for, and i'll point you in the right direction.
  15. mimaki jv3 switching from 8 cartridges to 4

    no. each ink cartridge feeds one channel of the print head (each head has a left and right channel). if you take out one of each cartridge, half of each printhead wont fire ink. Also, the machine will ask for those cartridges every time you try to print, and won't output. if you don't use it...
  16. Best plotter for contour cutting laminated graphics ?

    Summa sells direct, so they have a pretty aggrerssive sales force (hence your quick call return). Graphtec sells through vendors who will be more than happy to answer your questions (depending on the vendor). Graphtecs are great plotters, and I'll admit the top end Summa plotters are better...
  17. Mimaki JV33-130 Yellow Slot 6 problem

    or one of the sensors that tell the machine the cart is there and has ink in it has been broken. when you put a full cart in it, the light should go off. when you pull the cart from slot 5 with a full cart in slot 6, it should light up. if that isn't working, you have a bad sensor. if it is and...
  18. HP L25500/L26500 CALDERA Users

    Also, in the compose module, you can click and drag an item from your job window into the compose window holding (i think) CTRL, and it will ask how many you want to put there. Then use the nesting (puzzle piece) to align them up (they will come in all on top of each other) If it's not CTRL...

    yes... yes I am.
