  1. Onyx 22 / Thrive wont auto rotate when nesting?

    Yes, its a bug... best thing to backup your media profiles and quicksets. Reinstall it or upgrade. Onyx wont help on this.
  2. Roland XC-540 possible bearing problem, grinding

    I used to run the same printer for 12 years! Every 2 weeks, I had cleaned the main track bar and used superlube (buy in stick form from menards or elsewhere). It has a snot consistency that doesn't run like 3-in-1. Plus 3-in-1 wears out quickly. Even if you lost a single bearing, its possible...
  3. Colex Sharpcut - Register Marks Qty and Uses.

    Question for any Colex Sharpcut users out there. When had our initial training it was a hard understanding education with all these new tech features for a inexperienced user to learn. We did not get any formal documentation on a proper setup for registration standards. So for the past 5yrs now...
  4. The shelves are bare. Where can I get isopropyl alcohol?

    Check your Farm/Fleet or animal supply stores. You can buy full gallons for animal care areas. The common shopper doesnt look there.

    Trying to balance our color better on profiles. Loading Media Manger, Recalibrate... Pick Printer / Pick Inks / Pick Media Settings... Print Sample Swatches for scanning... Scan all the swatches and linearization tables appear with info. Once I press build.... CRASH! Any clue why this is...

    I suggest use the comply of IJ35. Also non-porus medias accept the installation better.
  7. Best UV Flatbed out

    Been running a FB500 for 6yrs now. Been a great machine as long as you keep up the maint. Replace wear parts as needed. We havent changed heads at all yet and still working great. Also most people do not know, the ink vacuum should be replaced about every 4 years. As for bulbs, run them til they...
  8. Onyx Thrive 12 profiles for HP Scitex FB550

    Too many factors here... How old are the heads? Is the white in the printer old? Did you know there is a recall on black and magenta inks on the printer? I would suggest purging the system of ink on the colors you have having issues and adding a fresh box of ink with 5-6 ink fills helps A LOT...

  10. Should frosted vinyl be installed on the interior or exterior side of windows on storefronts?

    Inside / 2nd surface. Less chance of window cleaners messing up the vinyl, weather, UV damage. Make sure not to apply to the glazing on the windows though.

    Rumor of IL on shutdown this weekend!
  12. Need Help Mimaki jv3 bad cyan test print after ink ran out

    Usually overspray can be 2 things. Clogged head or static issues. Make sure the head is clean and the capping station rubber ring/seal is cleaned. You may have to do a few ink fills and waste ink, trying to break that clog free. I have had success in a few unorthodox ways on getting head to flow...
  13. Static Cling

    There are 3 cling I have worked with.... General Formulations makes a basic (generic) cling in Clear and White. This is repackaged through many vendor suppliers. Print in short passes, like 16pass or slow down the head speed (roland machines). 720x720, do NOT over heat but, adjust feed comp for...
  14. See the Difference Avery 1005 vs 1105

    I was informed the difference is only the topical ingredients like a different acid to accept more UV and latex printing. I am using a Roland Eco-Sol printer and the 1005 profile is a 720x1440 profile. The 1105 offers 720x720 and 1440x1440 now. Unless you changed the direction of printing there...
  15. Refillable Cartriges

    With my past experiences with Mimaki and Roland. Not recommended! Too much of a chance of impurities getting into the ink lines to the dampers. Then if the formula of the ink does not flow properly it will eventually burn your heads up. Cheers!
  16. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    Do keep the encoder clean with isopropal alcohol. If you ever spill ink on it DO NOT RUB you may be able to lightly chip off the old ink on an encoder. Clean the encoder about every 90 days. Good luck!
