You can dig through the logs to see if there's a reason behind the shutdown command. Otherwise I would first try throwing a fresh install on a fresh hard drive if I were shotgunning parts at it.

I have never heard of that cleaning mixture, but no one else mentioned it ... am I suddenly out of the loop?? I have never heard any manufacturer suggesting a detergent based soap to prep their products for UV ink. Does anyone have an OEM product data sheet speaking to that? That would be wild...

I'd add that now that you're in repair mode, take this time to be sure your print belt is clean and clear of notable overspray. Make sure all of your belt holes are unclogged. The belt holes clogging and overspray is a common weak point in that design. It doesn't take much to render the vacuum...

New printheads will restore your factory print quality. If you DON'T strike the heads in the future, those heads will last many years. Occasionally a headstrike will occur, the goal is to just avoid it at all costs! In a perfect world, if you are operating the printer as intended and your media...

If you're looking to make simple signs with more-than-decent exposure resistance? Old school is best school - cut vinyl on your final product. Even the most garbage vinyls will last many years. 3M Scotchcal and Oracal 651 are the market leaders in popularity for this application. They will...

Lots of variables here. 1. Yes, there are lots of private companies that do service on all FB series. Not sure your local area but definitely ask around - ask your major vendors, ask your material suppliers, ask your ink suppliers - these people know people, or are people! 2. Yes, it looks like...

That surface looks HIGHLY textured in the picture. Way more textured than powder coating from what I see? If you handed me that picture and asked me what that material was I'd say ABS lol not steel or metal at all! Gauge your customer, they may just say "metal" when they mean "any commerical...

It does sound like an ink supply issue. If the nozzles fire during checks then the head is good, move on. 90% of the time, ink starvation in those Epson designs is at the damper. Their ink formulations almost never clog in the lines unless it's been sitting for a few weeks OFF, and one color...

Absolutely cannot install laminated perf wet. All that liquid is trapped in the holes under the laminate. Every decent installer knows this. It's right there in the material product bulletins.

OH ALSO, always fill out a domain scam report with the host. I'm already filling one out for this! The more reports they get, the more likely it is to be taken down. This is scam hosted by a shell company through GoDaddy. Report scam domains to: abuse@godaddy.com

It's an Indonesian shell scam company. There are some scammers in Indonesia specifically that have made hundreds of fake print supply websites as a scam. They used to buy their domains through traceable Indonsian addresses but are now buying through proxies. Proxy domains are a dead givaway of...

As you have noticed, Caldera doesn't really provide any support to it's customer base. If you want help with caldera products you can pay them a thousand dollars a month for the right to call them. Good luck!

Print white ink on top of 180 and it looks yellow. 180 has a notoriously excellent whitepoint.

Can you tell us what materials you HAVE tried that you don't like? That way we can figure out what you might like otherwise? If you're looking for feedback on cast films from those major brands, I'm curious if we can even figure out your starting base? What substrates does LG produce? Can you...

I have used and managed the backend of a bunch of popular systems. DocketManager, Pressario, PrintSmith, Avanti, PACE, PSI, ShopVox, Accurio, etc. Pros and Cons to every system. Paper tickets have been the backbone for many years! I have seen accounting packages like Xero and Quickbooks so well...

I use UV inks for any unexpected substrate just to avoid working through ink compatibilities and all that. I have that option handy though, if you don't you'll have to use what you've got. In my experience, eco and standard solvent inks stick to it just fine. I laminate right on top of it - you...

I build everything myself these days - OEM's are sadly selling us garbage and priced at the premium. Graphic Design boxes are different builds than RIP servers. What type of RIP you use also changes the build, as well as whether you utilize client/server RIP configurations or client only. Adobe...

I also recall seeing a company at SIGA 2019 ;) If you talk to your expert print supplier, they should be able to give you options on paper vs vinyl wall adhesives, paper-based corrugate vs plastics, expanded PVCs vs wood extrusions. There are always a multitude of material choices for every...

Why sub out? If you can screen print you're already beating prices within your most common market. If you don't have screens that size, who cares?? How much of your competition does anyway? You're only talking 14 rolls of material, you could run that in 2 days digitally if you wanted. Ah...
