  1. Weird head behavior - JV3-250SP

    Multiple issues happening at the same time, including overspray in the cyan, but the one I really need to tackle is the head carriage gradually moving further and further to the left. Printing in unidirectional, 360x540, 6-pass and 720x1440 16-pass Can't reproduce issue with data cable swap...
  2. Looking for embroidery in the Ottawa area

    Any leads? Preferably somebody who uses Jerico apparel. A bonus would be those that do visors as well. My bad if there's a better place for this post!
  3. Expert colour profilers! Slight magenta shift. Advice?

    I've been doing all of our own profiles since day one, and while I've never gone to a seminar or otherwise taken a course, I am confident that my skills in the area are pretty sharp. There is one area of it that's always been a nagging issue though. No matter how much my profiles have improved...
  4. JV3-250sp heater dead - no error

    Hey all. Weird issue with the JV3's heater, both pre and post: It'll heat up just fine, and start printing as it should when it reaches its target temperature, but at seemingly random points, after something has been printing for a while, it'll just stop. Both the "Heat" and "Constant" lights...
  5. Somebody's insurance company is laughing right now...

    Just this morning in Ottawa: https://twitter.com/CBCOttawa/status/408563243758526464 :covereyes:
  6. Sick to death of Ferrari's BS

    Ferrari either needs to drop the prices of their insanely high cost material, or fire the lot of their management, because a premium product this is not. We've been through headache after headache with both Decolit and 456 for over three years now. Random lots smell like either ammonia, or...
  7. JV3 banding / dropout / starvation with no visible cause?

    Noticed a stripe of lighter colour in a single pass on a display we printed, only in the are of the image that was red. Ran a test print, and sure enough, all colours are fine except magenta. Prints perfectly for about six or seven inches, then a light stripe. Sometimes it's just the one...
  8. Scrap 6mil 17x98 Black coro

    A very particular part of our manufacturing process makes use of 6mil Black coro, and the 17x98 sections that remains are completely useless to us. Anyone know what can be done with this stuff? Is there a buyback kind of program? Can the manufacturers melt them down and recast? Is there a source...
  9. Amber Alert - Saskatchewan

    Because I know there are a few members here from Saskatchewan, though everyone in the vicinity should keep their eyes peeled, and please spread the news. Amber Alert issued for 8 months pregnant, 14 year old, aboriginal girl. I normally wouldn't post a "please forward!" thing here, but I...
  10. Onyx 7.3.2 crashing on random prints

    Onyx 7.3.2, running two active JV3 threads, and one inactive JV4 thread, each with their own dedicated firewire cards. Thought I nipped this in the bud by creating a folder-based exception in my antivirus software, but that doesn't seem to have been the issue at all. Frequently, when sending...
  11. Blast from the past

    We've recently found out that we have to move by June of 2013, and as such, the owners have been going through their storage, selling what we could, chucking what we couldn't, and sorting the rest. Among some of their finds, were these beauties. I've no questions, but I thought it appropriate...
  12. Waiting for temp... waiting... still waiting...

    JV3-250SP being run by Onyx 7.3, on Windows 7 64-bit, through Firewire. Had a second overnight print do absolutely nothing yesterday, due to a weird temperature issue. Every now and then, when I have multiple things in the queue, it'll run through the first item no problem, and then it'll do...
  13. David A Smith - Jaw on the floor!

    Just stumbled upon this link for a short doc on David A. Smith's custom glasswork. Has anyone seen any of his stuff up close? :omg2: http://vimeo.com/14985356 Edit: Bonus points for his shop helper at 5:04
  14. Decolit quality

    This is a feeler to see what kind of issues everyone has had using Ferrari's Decolit product, and what kind of success anyone has had at moving away from it. We've had a LITANY of issues with it over the past three years, that I won't go into right now, culminating in this morning's discovery...
  15. Move over resin, here comes... alcohol?

    I've been getting pretty excited over some of the recent advances, and advances to come, in the print world, and as such, I've been up to my elbows in FLAAR reports and marketing "literature". We know that, at some point, we'd like to replace our JV4 with something more robust, and able to...
  16. Fill my brain with hunting knowledge!

    So here's a post I know a lot of you can be passionate about, and share a lot of common ground. Lately I've been thinking about getting into hunting. This is an area I know next to nothing about though, and I know plenty of you are walking encyclopedia's on the subject. I'm looking for any...
  17. JV3 heater wiring - voltage

    Doing some routine maintenance, I reinstalled some hardware on the JV3 after cleaning around the heads, and my hand every so lightly bumped up against the wiring for the voltage selector, located on the underside of the machine, at the far left side. These are the selectors that allow you to...
  18. Ontario waste rant.

    For years we've just been stockpiling waste solvent, and we've finally reached the point where I simply can not fill another container. The stuff has to go. Trouble is, where, and through who? And no, I am not pouring it into kitty litter and throwing it away. You should all know I'm far too...
  19. Linux nerds! Help convert me to Caldera!

    Sick and tired of dealing with the sloppiness that is Flexi, and the randomness of errors I get from Onyx, I'd like to give Caldera a try. I can't afford to take our RIP system down to set up a dual-boot just to try something out though, so I'm trying to run Caldera through a VM VirtualBox...
  20. Wacky Onyx size compensation

    Ooooh Onyx. What a funny RIP. At first I thought it was all business, printing everything during the day at perfect sizes, just wanting to get the job done. Then after printing a huge multi-panel display overnight, I find out Onyx likes to joke around too! All my 39" panels are missing nearly a...
