Hi, We have some heads for our FB750 that were loaded into the machine, never actually used to print, then taken out again. So they are brand new but they have had ink inside them. When removing the heads we flushed them through with some print head flush. They then sat for a year or so. When...

Hi, Does anyone have a link to the service manual for the FB750 please? Thanks in advance.

Hi, We have some heads for our FB750 that were loaded into the machine, not actually used to print and then taken out again. So they are effectively brand new but they have had ink inside them. When removing the heads we did flush them through with some print head flush. They then sat for a...

Hi, We're having issues with our Latex 360 with banding appearing on the right hand side of the printer. Photos attached. I think (although I might be mistaken) we've had this issue before and I think changing the maintenance cartridge corrected. So even though the cartridge had 20% left we've...

Hi, We want to reverse print some window graphics on clear vinyl, laminate with white vinyl and then have our Summa cutter cut them out. I’m sure this is possible but not sure of the best method to get the cutter to be able to access the dots that are now hidden under the white vinyl. Do we...

Hi, Need to produce a sign at 40ft x 3ft in aluminium composite panels in a Panatrim type frame. Obviously this will be multiple panels to make up the width. Would you guys bother to hang the panels in the frame with hanging strips or, considering these will be composite panels, is that...

Hi, I'm trying to find an easy way to print/cut multiple square vinyl prints in a grid pattern with no gap between them i.e. common / shared cut lines, without having to set up a cut file in Illustrator or similar. Is there an easy way to utilise the PDFTrimBox property with Caldera to do...

Hi, Is there any reason not to use this material (attached) for floor graphics with an appropriate slip rated laminate? Would be used on hard flat internal floors. It's a 1-3 year monomeric with permanent water based acrylic adhesive. Should we be using a solvent based adhesive? Does it...

Hi, We've just purchased an S2 160T and are perf cutting circular floor graphics. These are 300mm wide and we're printing them 4 up, 3 or 4 rows at a time, laminating and cutting them in sheets. The first couple of rows per sheet come out perfect but by row 3 or 4 there are a few where the...

Hi, We've just purchased our first vinyl cutter (Summa S160) and we're just trying to get our heads around how we should supply and produce simple "through cut" type graphics with as little manual labour as possible. I realise this is probably a very basic question for most people on here so...

Hi, Posted this over in digital printing but not having much joy there so thought this might be a more suitable place (apologies). We have Caldera V12 running on a Mac and have just bought a Summa S2 160T. I was under the impression that barcodes could be created in Caldera and then read by...

Hi, We have Caldera V12 running on a Mac and have just bought a Summa S2 160T. I was under the impression that barcodes could be created in Caldera and then read by the cutter automatically without the need for an additional PC running Windows. The engineer who installed the machine doesn't...

Hi, We're considering buying one of the below cutters to run alongside our Latex 360. It will mostly be used for print and cut graphics, printed and laminated floor graphics and very occasional standard vinyl. We would want to kiss cut but also have the option to cut right through the...

Hi, Question as per the thread title really. Does anyone use Caldera to create the reg marks for the SumaCut D140FX? Are the 2 compatible? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Thinking about getting a SumaCut D140FX. This would be our first vinyl cutter as we’ve been print only until this point. Can anyone help us with the following please?... How does the FX model differ to the non FX model? What are we not going to be able to do with it that we could with the...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the minimum panel size that can be printed on this machine is please? I can't seem to find it in the literature. Thanks.

Hi, We have a HP FB750 which comes up with the message “Encoder strip error” with the option to restart or retry. Choosing either option gets us back to the same error message. Our support company has gone home for the night and we’re not sure if we should turn the printer off overnight or...

Hi, We've had a FB750 for coming up to 2 years now and recently we're getting issues with inconsistent colour. Essentially we can print multiple copies of the same artwork using the same blue colour and they'll all come out slightly different shades of blue. The lamps were past their best so...

Hi, We have a FB750 which has come up with an error message saying the waste ink container is full (image attached). Note this isn't the normal maintenance message where it's asking you to turn the spigot to empty the waste but instead talks about the float being disconnected? If I try and...

Hi, We want to direct print on some marine ply with our FB750. Does anyone have any tips on what we should paint / varnish the marine ply with to give the ink the best chance and also give us a nice white base to print on? Thanks.
