    Hello, I know that a SC-500 is now a dinosaur. :) Maybe mine is the only one that survived as sold, and I still use it mostly for cut only.

  2. VS-640 Air in white line

    Hello, here is a strange issue that I can not cure: What would be the cause of air in the white ink line (has cleaning fluid for some months) moving away (goes up) from the damper?

    Hi all, In the last two months or so my VS-640 has started giving metallic ink overspray (ink mist) only in the direction of printing so only one side when printing uni-direction and both sides when printing bi-direction.
