  1. Edge FX Advancing Foil but not printing?

    Hi Everybody, my bulletproof Gerber Edge FX has finally hit a snag. When I go to print a job, it lowers the cartridge and advances the foil but doesn't printing anything. After a few seconds it raises the cartridge and gives me a cartridge error. It was happening now and again but now it seems...
  2. Show Smooth Drawing: How to disable

    I am running Omega Composer 5.0.0.1369. They have turned on "Show Smooth Drawing" by default and I'm getting tired of unselecting it every single time. It makes everything on the screen look awful and when I generate a PDF proof they are like 60 megs and look horrible. Any ideas on how to set it...
  3. FB 500 Out of Warranty Support

    I have an HP FB500 that is out of warranty and has a problem that has stopped it from functioning. I'm trying to find out with HP will sell me a support contract. But in the meantime I wanted to see if there are any other companies out there that offer support contracts for this particular...
  4. Dry Erase Laminate-- How to clean

    I have a customer who I did some prints for that were laminated with a dry erase laminate. I subbed out the lamination work so I am not sure what exact brand was used. They are using Expo Dry Erase laminate cleaning spray and some of the colored text is not coming off as it should. Is there...
  5. FB500 Error

    I have an FB500 and I am getting the following error: E-GN-3, "Image Sensor Failed to Initialize". The printer is usable, I am just unable to us the built in measuring system -- I have to manually do it. I have restarted the printer 3 times and it is still showing up as disabled. Has anyone...
  6. ColorSpan 72UVX: How to prep for storage

    I have a ColorSpan 72UVX series printer that I want to part out after an unsuccessful run at selling it. Does anyone know what the procedure is for shutting it down to store and preserving the printheads? Along the same lines, what are the most popular parts to get rid of? I am thinking the...
  7. HP FB500 Leftover ink in boxes

    I have an HP FB500 and the amount of ink left in the boxes by the time it tells me to change is insane. I am talking $40-$50 worth of ink each time. I have run it down past 0% on a few boxes and it finally told me that I had to change the box. The amount of ink still left was astounding. Does...
  8. ColorSpan 72UVX - What to do with used unit?

    I have a Colorspan 72UVX that is about 4 years old and has a few issues. We have replaced it and I am now stuck with what to do with it. Is there much of a used market for these? Or does anyone know where I should start? I would assume at this point it is worth more in parts since it has a few...
  9. Oce 350GT

    Our shop is pretty close to adding an Oce 350GT into the mix. We currently use a Colorspan 72UVX that has been good to us, but is starting to show its age. Is there anyone out there who owns this particular printer (or even the Fuji Acuity variant) that can give us some opinions on it? Thanks...
  10. OPOS Cutting to Gerber P2C 1200 without Omega

    Does anyone have any experience cutting a design with OPOS on a Gerber P2C 1200 without using Omega? This is what I have done so far: 1. Downloaded and installed the Summa Cutter Tools and WinPlot (The P2C is a re-branded Summa Printer). 2. Used the Summa plugin to create the OPOS marks on my...
  11. Colorspan 72UVX Inkbox Profiler

    Does anyone have a source where I can just buy the inkbox profiler ONLY? My printer and RIP are telling me I have about 8% ink left but when I feel the box I am thinking I have 20-30%. This has happened the last few times I have switched it out. When the ink tanks are $600 a pop I want to get...
  12. Copyright Squabble

    I wanted to get some input from other people on this situation which I haven't encountered before. I have a organization that orders decals from me once in a blue moon. They now want to re-order a design they had last gotten several years ago when I was working with someone who no longer...

    Hello everyone, my name is Jacob and I work at a small sign company in Washington state. I am a longtime lurker occasional poster.
