We have a GBC Orca III that we bought in 1997, still looks and runs like new. We run appox. 400' of pressure sensitive cold lam and adhesive a week. Also we have a tech come in about every 18 mos. or so and give it a once over (adjustments, lube, etc.). Unfortunately they don't make them a more.

Yes, we have a 4x8 light table on one end and a regular 4x8 table on wheels on the other.

I live in Kent County, if that helps.

We've been running Onyx for years, no problems until the latest upgrade to Onyx 11. If I have to do it over again I'll go with Caldera, looks to be much more user friendly.

Call Piedmont Plastics, I believe they have a warehouse in Columbus.

:goodpost:Sad thing is there is someone who will fall for this.

I would call the airline, tell them what you have and they will tell you the proper procedure if you can bring it or not. It is not considered flammable nor is it under pressure.

Thats a new one on me too. If nothing is stuck to the head, I'm not sure what it could be. Keep us posted if you find an answer.

We have had our Xc540 about 6 1/2 years, runs 5 days a week 6-12hrs a day, been a workhorse all along. Other than replacing 1 set of heads, an encoding strip, some dampers, cap tops, wipers, and having our service guy come in once a year and do a PM check is the extent of our service to this...

Have you looked at the print head itself to see if it's clear of any debris, hair, fuzz, dust, etc.. What does the nozzle check test print look like?

I also agree, clean the encoder strip. Much cheaper than a new motor:smile:

After talking with Onyx on the phone and sending them some files that we were having trouble with, we got this response and it seems to be working. Haven't had any problems with what we are printing today. From Onyx: Most likely it is the transparency option under the rip configuration. Do...

we have over 6500 hours on our xc540 and a little less than 6000 on our xj640.

We have been having the same issues with Onyx 11, logos, fonts, images, dropping out. Been in contact with Onyx support and they claim we are the only ones having this issue, we must be doing something wrong, etc.,etc., I will be sending files to them tomorrow and see what they say. I'll post...

+1 on what J Hill said.

Your first problem is all of your nozzles aren't firing correctly, that is the reason for the multi color banding. As for the color, what kind of file is it and how is it saved?, Do you have a good working profile for that material?

I have never had this tape fail http://www.alliance-express.com/permanent-double-sided-foam-tapes, I have hung 4'x8' sheets of 3/16 Gator board with 4 strips along the back to both block and drywall and had it hold like a rock. It will take the paint off the concrete and peel the skin off...

The file needs to be flattened. I usually bring the pdf into Photoshop, go to Layer tab then down to flatten, then resave the pdf.

Yes we run a head wash when the green starts to go out, and when the tech comes in he runs another head wash with no luck, this has happened 3 times in the year and a half that we have owned the machine and at a cost of about $1000 each time to run a head wash this becomes a very expensive...

Both of our printers, the Roland XC 540 and the Epson GS 6000 will stop printing when one of the cartriges run out of ink so no air gets into the line. Unfortunatly the other ink cartridge does not compensate it just stops.
