Hi Everyone, It's been a long time since I posted on Signs 101! I just moved my L25500 in my enclosed trailer, and after I put it in its new home, it gives me an 86:01 error on startup both with media loaded and unloaded. The scan axis seems to move freely and it will scan to the right side...

Hi All, We fried the firewire board on our JV3 when one of our operators tripped on the cable mangled the end and plugged it back in. We got an IF20 error as soon as the machine and computer would try to communicate and onyx's port scan would not show the JV3 connected. We replaced the...

I am working on a several thousand piece POP job which we would normally do on our flatbeds but... It's just one color and it needs to be really flat and perfect. I am looking for recommendations for a screen printer who can handle larger sized pieces (larges is 24"x72") on .030 styrene...

Hi Gang, We've owned a CG-130fx since new in 2005. In addition to it's normal duties, we often pen plot our installation templates. Recently, it started plotting everything skewed. It is not the material slipping, the x axis just advances while the carrige slides when it is not supposed...

Hi Gang, I'm looking for the cheapest option to blast out 60" wide monochromatic prints for use as templates for drilling holes and printing plans/blueprints. We can't spare the time on our solvent or uv machines, the plotter is slow and we are having weird issues with it anyways, and...

Hi All, Our 3150 is acting up and we can't get a tech out to us for a few days and we are getting crushed with the backup. It is only printing from 12 of the 24 heads, 1 pair for each color (6 color setup) as ordered by pixel processing board, but sometimes 1 set of 12 prints and other...

Hi Guys and Gals, We somehow used 48 liters of UV ink this week and are not going to make it on a big order for a large store chain with a big orange logo (you can probably guess). Anyways, we use Digitech ink in our Gandi and we are going to run out of yellow and light cyan tonight on the...

Hi Gang, One of my crews will be doing a retail store install in the Washington DC area Friday-Monday this week. We received some new info which is making me think that a Bucket or scissor lift with a boom extension will make one part of the job much easier. If any one is interested, or...

So our Seiko moved it's carriage to the capping station and never came back... Well we pushed it back and capped the heads. When we boot up, I get an E0800 (power supply), if I bypass the initialization tests by holding shift + cancel, I get an engine error 1701 (y servo). I talked to Mike at...

Hi All, We are designing a large run of POS displays for a large national retailer. Our original intention was to flatbed to econopanel and cnc the panels for a flat pack piece. Everything is peachy except... They slashed the budget and econopanel (at $37.50 a sheet for a skid) is now out...

Hi All, we use a fair amount of 5mil embossed vinyl laminate on our output for POS pieces, trade show etc. We are having a heck of a time getting a good result using this lam (which works well with all solvent inks, hp UV inks, aqueous inks) with digitech's UV inks for our JETI. With high...

Hi Gang, We've been experimenting with folding dibond/alupanel as detailed in their fabrication manuals. We haven't had much success. My router operator selected a 90 deg v carving bit with with a .18 flat in the center (recommended by the Laird site). We route the panel leaving a little...

Hi Guys, I'm doing a run of custom cabinets for a retail install. The laminate doors are giving me some trouble. Printing them on my Jeti 3150, print looks great, but the adhesion isn't great. I initially just slammed them through our laminator with a 5mil embossed vinyl laminate, but the...

While we've had an easy time finding support for our newer machines, our aging but still necessary fleet of printers needs some love. I used to do all this crap myself, but at this stage in my life, I'd rather just pay someone: I need someone to come to our shop in Warwick, RI and replace 3...

Hi, I have a Gandi 3150 with se heads running CMYKlclm. We just started using caldera and digitech inks. Anyone have any profiles we can snag before we start rolling our own?

To all you NYC guys: If one is installing a storefront sign under 6 square feet (which does not require a permit) in NYC, are the services of a licensed hanger still required. I've gotten multiple answers from the DOB.

Hi Everyone, I'm having an issue on my Seiko 100s when printing glossy vinyl only. A few meters in to the print, I get a "left lever" message. I know ever 3' or so that the image sensor on the carriage checks for skew, so I'm guessing it has something to do with that. I have the latest...

Hi all, We have 2 colorspans (masochistic I know, but we only print on coro and foam core). Recently a tech replaced 2 reservoir bodies on 2 of our cyan print heads as the plastic bodies were leaking. The 2 cyan print heads are now not printing correctly relative to the rest of the heads...

Hi All, I'm looking for an awning installer to do a job for my shop in Palm Beach. One of our clients is opening a location in Nov, but we can't get down there before the construction moratorium Nov 1. Please PM me if interested. Thanks! -Ed

Upgraded to 8.5, exported my old (custom) profiles (prior to upgrading) and used the legacy conversion tool after I performed the upgrade and bang! Now on all my profiles, it prints a very light beige where it should be white. I use adobe RGB 1998 as my RGB input profile, pass it a 255,255,255...
