Okay everyone....I'm Ripping & Printing with Flexi Sign 8.1. When I print grey all by itself, it always seems to have a pink-ish hue and color to it. Now when there is grey inside the print, it seems to come out fine. I messed with some of the settings and got it to come out a nice grey...

***UPDATE**** Multiple things had caused my problem PRINT HEAD: my black print head had gone bad, port 1A wasn't firing and drawing ink. (replaced print head) MOTHER BOARD: mother board had a short and needed replaced (replaced mother board) Also, replaced the capping station, the ribbons on...

Thanks DirtyD! I actually just ordered 2 new ribbons this morning and I'm planning to replace, because I think I did zap one (had machine on while working on it, BIG NO NO obviously). But I did this 2 weeks ago and haven't had any issues until last night when I was printing. Would this cause all...

Thanks J Hill, which cables should I be checking/testing?

Okay, back again. I did a test print, this is what it looks like. The left black and right cyan are not firing now. My black looks like a chocolate brown and my grey looks like a pink. When I do a test print, it leaves a black streak through everything and then comes back at a 20degree angle...

I have 1 side back to printing. Here's my 'test print'. Why would only one side be printing? And what can I do to fix?

True, but it's always printed much better than this grey looking stuff it's doing now.

Hey everyone! I posted a thread yesterday but haven't gotten any feedback. So I've posted some photos and a description of what I've done here. Looking to figure this issue out with all of your help. I had let my machine sit for a week without printing (yes, big mistake). So I had some jobs to...

I've soaked the heads, checked the dampers, yadda yadda. I'm about to try and clean the lines. Would this possibly be part of the issue?

It's been a could days since I've printed (been on vacation). I printed a car wrap and the black looked lighter than normal (greyish). I printed the opposite side and it looked even more grey and some pretty noticeable banding lines. When I change the resolution to 720x1420, the print is...

WINNER WINNER!!!! WE ARE CUTTING!! Okay, so after adjusting the height of the sensor head yesterday, I emailed Mimaki again and told them it was still having issues.... Here's what he told me to do, which fixed the problem. While in transit to my place, it had a 4 1/2 hour ride in the back of...

Hey Snydo, Yeah, I am getting the file to send to the plotter from Production Manager, but since it's not pickng up the marks when I want it to register, it has a mind of its own and starts cutting randomly on the media. I'll try the scotch tape trick, see if that works. The guy I bought it...

Another video... After I spoke w/ Mimaki Service yesterday, they told me to to lower the sensor 3mm from the material (like I mentioned in a post above)....so I did and here are my results in the video.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMRHPdhA3eo&feature=youtu.be

aaaaaand still not working Bout to sell the crap and not deal with the headache anymore

Well everyone...not sure if it'll resolve my issue or not. But I just talked to a gentlemen at Mimaki Service. I'm not home yet, but here's what he told me to do. Remove the cover on the cutter head (the black plastic cover) and adjust the height of the sensor and the platen. He said that it...

Thanks Jfiscus, however, that 'buzzer' noise was suppose to sound when I was doing the 'registartion mark' test in the settings option.

In Flexi Sign you can change the type of crop marks that the printer creates. I have it set to Mimaki Type 1 (which are the lines it created in the video). Then on the plotter, I have them set to 'Type 1' marks which are the same. I made sure they were set to the same and not the 'inverse' of...

Hey DDubia, Yeah, tried flipping the media also. I tried a brand new file last night, started from scratch...(new file, new crop marks, new all around) and I'm still getting the Error Message. I posted above what I did also... So when I go into the 'Sensor Check' mode, there's an option...

No, I have not sent anything on non-printed material. I was trying to get the printed items done first, since I have people needing their orders (printed decals). The day I purchased the equipment, I spent all day with the owner of the equipment and did training, testing, etc....it all worked...
