  1. Canon Colorado 1650 exit buffer issue

    We run two Colorado 1650s. These printers when new or within warranty are amazing. Unfortunately once the warranty runs out, any error code that we can't figure out in house turns into a minimum $1k repair job. Our latest problem came about when the two screws came off the exit buffer...
  2. Oce Colorado 1650 error code

    Yes apparently the Mod kit is installed. A bit disappointed that the new chiller design change was made on newer 1650's (not ours) which means they know the chiller is an issue for the 1650. More curious to what would trigger this error? We had the inline current limiter blow out on this...

  5. Issue with summa s2t160 tangential blade holder

    Doing some routine maintenance and first time changing out the tangential blade. Turned off the machine, tried to twist open the tangential blade holder from the shaft. However it was not budging. Tool two pliers (one to hold the bottom and one to turn the top of the blade holder )and it...
  6. Summa OPOS Barcode Questions

    Yes in illustrator. If you use pathfinder to combine two squares, it would remove the shared line/side and just add the points. I don't think the summa would connect those two points. When saving as EPS the "convert all strokes to outlines" is in the transparency / medium resolution setting...

  10. Summa OPOS Barcode Questions

    Thank you for the detailed explanation! So we just got a Summa S2 T160 OPOS. This cutter is absolutely a beast when compared to the graphtec and mimaki cutters. Extremely accurate. Now here is another question. With Thrive 421, we have 4 print engines, 2 wide format printer and 1 layout...
  11. Summa OPOS Barcode Questions

    I am a little confused on how the Summa barcode works. Could someone clarify? I have a Oce Colorado (Onyx Thrive) used to print and Summa cutter with OPOS. As I understand the barcode server needs to run on a compatible RIP. Can this run on my Onyx Thrive 321? I have 2 printers already...
  12. Question for Canon/Oce UV printer owners

    Canon/Oce offers a pay per SF plan as an option vs purchasing the printer. The pay per use plan over 5 years, ends up being quite a bit more than purchasing the printer and consumables, however it gives you the peace of mind that the heads are covered under this plan. If you have a Canon Oce...

  14. UV PrintHead Life Expectancy

    I have a few Mimaki CJV30s printing with ECOsolvent inks. Printers running almost 24/7 and the printheads seem to last 4-5 years on average. Looking at some UV printers and am being told the print head may last only 200k Square feet which is comparable to 6 months for me. Does that sound...

  16. CJV30 Dryer exhuast unit

    Hello! I'm new to the board and about to pull the trigger on a CJV30 print/cut. I've received a great quote, but it includes the optional Dryer Exhaust Unit. (OPT-J0129) I haven't seen any posts regarding the necessity of this. Is it necessary or even recommended? Without it would...
  17. FC8000 sending jobs to the cutter issue

    I just recently got a new FC8000 and have a question about sending jobs through CM2 in illustrator. For example, to make things simple, lets say i have two separate jobs/files i need to cut. One is a square, one is a circle. They are two separate jobs, and two separate files. Connected...
