I remember I saw someone posting a Christmas tale based on "Twas the night before Christmas" about a sign shop, he struggled with a Roland or something in those lines and it was hilarious, can't find it anymore so if anybody has it please post to share that Holiday spirit (or if you have the...

The takeup on our new (used) L560 is going a bit weird/crazy, if you wind with image side out as normally the takeup reverses and goes forward, reverses and goes forward at the whole time it prints. It does takeup as it should but it moves a lot more backwards than it should, and as a result the...

Hello! Got hold of a nice HP 560 to add to our fleet and it has the connector for the beacon (standard on the 570), now the beacon seems hard to get hold of and is very expensive. I thought of maybe taking a generic beacon and connect it to the printer since it seems to be only 6 pins in the...

Does anyone use or have used one or can tell me anything about a Océ ColorWave 500, a dealer is offering a lightly used unit for a reasonable price and we often do have clients who wants a couple of paper posters in A2 size and bigger. We also sometimes need to print and/or copy blueprints at a...

I have a HP latex 330 that is giving me 23:10 APS error. The pumps runs more than they should (buzzing longer and more often) but I cannot find any leaks on the air or ink system, no pinched lines and everything seems fine inside. I am thinking of replacing the APS pumps and those lines first...

For some people Friday 13th mean bad luck. I didn't think so until today. Morning started off perfectly, in the afternoon we fried two laminators and one Latex 330 due to (probably) a short in one of the power outlets (cables have come loose inside outlet). To top it off the handle on the soap...

Hello! Happily printing along today with the Fujifilm LED 1600 hybrid printer and suddently it stops, showing Error 63 f Ink tnk remain, and it seems to be LC that's the issue. The LC has been a bit weak but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary. This happens randomly and causes the print to...

We are baffled at something that occurred the other day. We cut one 24.7 ft long graphic, pretty simple letters and a box out from standard black vinyl. The graphic uses almost the full width of the material. The other copy from the same file we sent buckled up in the cutter so we had to raise...

What remote desktop programs/services do you guys use? I have used TeamViewer from home to connect to my work PC at evenings to do one or two invoices, sales orders etc. I liked the software but now they want at least 39,- a month for a licence and I am looking at options on the market before I...

Got a great offer to pick up a used Fuji Acuity LED 1600 printer, before I go and look at it, what do I look for (any obvious telltale signs to walk away)? Has anybody got any good/bad experiences with these? How hard is it to use and work on? The price is really great and I can see it in action...

I might have the chance maybe to pick up a SummaSign D1300 Pro for cheap. Machine looks great, works but can you use it anymore today in regards of drivers etc.? Would be used as an extra cutter at times. What's it worth roughly, don't know the specific year but the model was sold 1996-2004...

So, the wall clock in the production area in our shop is waay off after only a few days and it's time to get a new one. I would like a nicer one than just a standard one, big so you can see it across the room and most important: radio controlled so you dont have to set it. Have you seen a nice...

Signed the papers for a brand new Summa F1612 flatbed cutter today, delivery this week and installation within two weeks. What should we pay attention to with the setup and with the training? Any particular things to ask? Soo excited! :peace!:

We have a Summa S2 D160 (drag knife) and I absolutely love the machine, does great work except for one thing: We print on Substance material and laminate with a very thick Substance laminate (for those not knowing Substance it's material for motorcross motorcycle decals etc. so thick stuff). We...

OK, so I have this lightbox with thin perspex bowing all over because it hasn't got any reinforcements/anything at the joints between the sheets. This makes me wonder how you guys usually make the joints for the sheets, I just glue some wider (transparent) lexan/polycarb strips on the back and...

OK, stupid question, we use Wasatch SoftRIP and L26500. Does the HP handle all calibrations etc. by itself or how do you use the built in spectrophotometer? On our small Z-series we can run the calibration from the front panel but not on the L26500. Do you need to run it? Sorry for a newbie...

So we got a larger order for 68 pcs. of about 44 feet banners that need to be welded on both edges. We got a Leister Uniplan E for the job but how afraid should we be of the eventual gases etc. that comes from the banners when welding? I know if you burn it you get nasty stuff but we work in a...

Have a relatively new L260/26500 and have recently had problems with a couple C-LC heads suddently dropping out causing banding. Changed heads (on warranty) and it seemed to go away but now a Y-K (black) dropped out printing large solids of black, ruining half a roll of material while unattended...

So our new L260 is about 2 months old and we've not done a huge lot of printing yet, yesturday I run a longer job with a black gradient and got a 14:10:00 error near the end of the print. I know it has to do with the heater but the tech said to turn down minimum drying power to 0.8 or 0.9 in the...

I have a customer that is picky with the color and I need to match the Oracal 751-050 blue to either 551 or 951 series since I don't have the 751 chart available as our supplier don't carry that line. Any other brand could also do such as 3M, Metamark or Mactac for example. Any help will be...
