Hi, I have an Encad 850 with GX ink and official Encad carts - I do not use a decoder at present. Does anyone one know if you can mix GS with GX cartridges in a set of 4 carts. Thanks

I have a 'prime' issue - ie poor prime on an Encad 850 - low pressure in the lines, we are going to replace the cartridge septums, I see we can buy longer stem septums than what we presently have (left image) - anyone know what the difference is - between short and long stemmed septums:

Hi I have an Encad 850, run as just CMYk (1x4). Using GX inks, onto a coated poly 200mic. When running out a full tint, I do not get a reliable flat colour ... Where the tint is broken by text - ie on the red image - you can see the red runs slightly lighter. On other prints I get 'stripes'...

We have an old Encad 850 - that still serves us well. I have an on going problem with ink droplets a while after start of print, when I run solids. I have suspected ill fitting septums or some form of leak in the system letting the vacuum drop - but I have changed septums and trimmed off 2mm...

Hi, I have Onyx Production House 10 with an Encad 850, both had plenty of use - but today it printed a barcode top and bottom of the print - never had the software or printer do that before, and cant find a setting in the Onyx software that would make it do that - checked the PDF that was run -...

Hi I have Onyx Prod House v10 on windows 7. I want to forward or print jobs from Onyx to a printer/spooler on an old Windows 2000 desktop, it would be preferable to spool first on the Win7 then, send those to the spooler on the Win2k machine, but if I have to go direct from Onyx to the...

HI I have a 6.0x2.5mt graphic tiled over 6 drops (1.0x2.5mt ea). The last two panels had some parts of the image missing, a white bar through one image on one panel, and on the other - half the image (quite a large part of the panels area) completely missing. The file was a PDF/X-1a:2001 1.3...

Hi, I have managed to get silicon spray onto the upper take in rollers of my Encad 850 (the tiny solid rollers that sit over the rubber feed in rollers below) - it seems to have impregnated itself :( When printing I get streaks down the print (ie the ink doesn't sit flat on the media where...

Hi, Outputting from ONYX 10 on windows XP - via a shared 'windows printer driver' (on a 2nd PC - ie the XP spools from Onyx to a spooler 'auto "printer name"' then moves it onto the 2nd PC, on the spooler on this PC the file is listed as 'Remote Downlevel Document' - in fact all files that end...

Hi When I check in Onyx 10 - 'Submit as separate tiles' when tiling, the middle mark ('Zero Line Tile Mark') does not output, unchecking and it appears - this however results in one very large file in the windows spooler (one file containing all tiles), and if the output device coughs out - say...

Hi I'm having issues importing and ripping multipage PDF's in Production House V10. When running say 850mm banner stands on 914 media - we first print 10% scale versions, so for a 2pp PDF we can rotate these and Onyx correctly sees both pages and nests them as 2 across - you can see them in...

Hi, I am trying to back up as many settings in Onyx 10 as I can, from 'Configure Printer' I can export all my 'Quicksets' and 'Media' - do the colour management setting get exported with the quicksets export ?, and are there any other 'exports' I'm missing. Thanks

Hi What is considered the best workflow to create a file for an Onyx RIP - driving a Large Format printer, creating a Postscript file or going the PDF route, I read about many problems with transparency. At present we create a PDFX-1a:2001 by saving as from Illustrator or Indesign, this forces...

Hi, Re: Onyx 10 ICC Profile setup I am hoping to find out what others select in the 'Color Management' section of a Quick Set, for large format printing. Reading so much stuff about how CM can create problems for transparency in a RIP. I am using the supplied profiles, for convenience at the...

Hi, What is the best method for getting correct panel trim marks when producing pop up displays. When tiling say a 3x3 the 'split' marks are correct, but with top and bottom of middle panels we find we still need to measure with a ruler, in from the edge of the print or outer marks, the amount...

Hi, PDF black text (measured as C:0 M:0 Y:0 B:100 in Acrobat pro), but when output through Onyx Production House v10 black is splitting as C:91 M:94 Y:96 B:47. Is there not a feature in Onyx v10 to 'force black', I am aware of this issue from a long time ago on other outputting devices - I...

Hi Sending roll fed print jobs via Onyx 10 Production House, to an Encad 850, we find the take up roller does not work, any ideas ?, I'm sure its a RIP issue, as the take up works with our other RIP. Thanks

Hi, Re: Onyx Production House 10 Does anyone know if you can change the crop mark length, and even its thickness (stroke). Thanks

Encad Novajet Chinese Black Cartridge Problem. I have an Encad 850, running GX CMYK. Since changing to Chinese Cartridges several years ago I have noticed a problem with the black cartridge, although in some degrees this can occur with the Cyan and Magenta cartridge - but rarely, probably...

I have been plagued for a long time by what I can only describe as a deprime almost straight after the Encad starts printing. We print mostly display drops, 1mt x 2.5mt. It can occur on any cartridge, but mostly black. It is not consistent, and comes and goes. To explain - I prime the carts, and...
