Hi all I've just had to replace the first Ink Maintenance Kit on my HP L260... I'm wondering how or where I can safely recycle or dispose of this Maintenance Kit and the printhead cleaning kits in the UK. There doesn't seem to be any information available on the safe recycling/disposal of any...

Updated successfully! Thank you Onyx for the reply! I emailed ArtSystems as you suggested (I've spoken with them before!), and a very nice gentleman called me back and kindly talked me through the procedure to upgrade my RIP to v11.1.2. So a very big thank you to Onyx and especially to...

Hi all! I've got Onyx 11.0.0 on my RIP PC, and I've been told by Onyx themselves that I can upgrade it to the current 11.1.2. I've made backups of all important Buffered Jobs, and of my four printer's drivers and profiles (as detailed in this video:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb2U7x9h0Q4...

Hi Doug The new print seemed to all be OK across the width with the higher temperature. I've just re-run the job (5m length at about 1m width, 100% coverage) and laminated it, and the whole lot looked even, just as I'd expect it to look. I also laminated one of the earlier 'un-cured' prints...

Curing problem 'Cured' - Hah! See what I did there? :) OK, so I turned the Curing Temp up by 5° and it seems to have solved the curing problem. (Sorry, still a newbie to Latex!) However, if anyone has any thoughts as to why this has happened today, I'd be very interested to hear them...

Hi there Today, my HP L260 has started to not cure the ink fully, just in the middle of the width of the printer. This means that, when I print a full width panel of solid colour, down the vertical middle of the panel will be an approx 6" wide section of slightly oily-surfaced print, which...

Hi there I'm pretty new to wrapping, but having to learn quickly ('cos I keep getting asked to wrap things I couldn't even conceive of doing!) Anyway, does anyone have, or know of, a guide to the best, neatest way to finish square corners? For example, I've got to wrap a table-top. The table...

Hi all I'm printing onto a translucent SAV, which I'm contour cutting and applying to a lightbox. I usually print onto this material using the 'High Ink Level' option from within Onyx RIP. This gives a sort of 'double density' of ink, which makes the colours less washed out when viewed on a...

Hi all! Very quick question.... For short term use (i.e. an exhibition lasting only a couple of days), would it be OK to put a monomeric laminate on top of a polymeric vinyl? I know you shouldn't do it, but will it matter for just a few days? (I ask because I forgot to order more Poly lam...

Hi all I've got to produce a number of canvases, with the images wrapped around the sides. Unfortunately, many of them haven't got enough image to wrap, so need to have the main image 'mirrored' around the sides. Onyx layout tool has this feature built-in, and does the job well, but when I add...

Hi there The exhibitions company I work for have been asking me about sticking vinyl to emulsion-painted MDF wall panels for an exhibition. They think that vinyl won't stick very well to the emulsion. What do you guys, with far more experience than me, think about this? What's the best vinyl...

Hi there I was running a Disway Wash on the JV3-160SP that I'm responsible for. (That's where you fill the caps with cleaning fluid, one at a time, and the machine pumps it out.) I have discovered that the magenta isn't pumping out. The fluid just stays in place and I have to remove it manually...

Hi there! One of our Canon iPF9000s printers has started to squeak terribly when printing. I want to try oiling / greasing it, but can't find any instructions in any of the manuals as to how to do this! I've got some proper printer lubricant oil (which I use for out HP L260), but just need...

Thanks to you both! An excellent idea, and one I'm going to test out in a few minutes. I'm printing some tests on my polymeric window etch right now, and I'll do some more with doing what you guys suggest. I'll let you know how I get on! Thanks!

Hi all! I've just been dumped with a job that I have no real idea how to do... I've got to put up some window etch in a series of windows (six in total) up to about half their height (about 1m). However, on this etched section, and to be seen from outside, are a number of animal shapes (dogs...

Hi there I had exactly the same problem on my D160R - the cuts wouldn't meet up when cutting letter 'O'. Both the inside and outside cuts would have the same 'notch' in them. Sometimes it also happened on the round parts of 'd' and 'p' as well. Loads of suggestions for it were made by Summa and...

Update to Banding problem For anyone who may be having a similar banding issue, I appear to have solved the problem by replacing one of the two printheads, which was over two years old, but which hadn't given any error indication. I have just printed about 10m of a flat colour (the same colour...

Hiya! Yes, the media has been ruled out. It's a 200gsm satin photo paper, which we have used for years. This roll, which this problem was seen on was brand new, but has now been used on our other printer with no problem. I think it's definitely something to do with the printer itself. Could...

Hi there One of my Canon iPF9000s printers has just started to produce odd bands of darker area when printing solid colours. I have attached a picture to illustrate. In the pic, you can see a panel of printed blue (actual width 540mm), with two darker horizontal bands, one near the top, the...

Hi there! Thank you Shoresigns, for explaining exactly what's going on in Illustrator, and for telling me how to turn off the "Convert Strokes to Outlines" option (I'd never have found that!!). Your solution works perfectly! And thank you to the others who suggested filling the Cut line, rather...
