I'm looking to find a good printer/process for printing very small runs ( probably less than 250/month) of high-end custom packaging, mostly sleeves but other styles as well. I do not care one bit about speed, I need the absolute highest print quality possible, especially in greys. It would...

Does anyone have a good site to order parts in the US for LEF2-300 printers? Ours is having an intermittent loss of white and we haven't been able to get decent service for months so I'm going to start throwing parts at it if I can find a place to order them.

Anyone have a good place in the US to order parts for an Lef2-300? And a service manual as well? Our tech hasn't been very responsive over the last 6 months or so, and I'd like to just fix the thing myself. We've been getting no white for days at a time, then it'll work for a day or two and...

I've been trying to fix an issue with one of our 6042mkii printers. The table isn't level with the carriage from left to right, by a good 1.5-2mm. Checking with a bubble level, I can get the table level in both directions, but then the rail the carriage rides on is out of level (by a lot). If...

Does anyone know a way to adjust the angle the cap stations are sitting when contacting the heads? I can't find anything in the service manual about it, and it's causing ink to leak out the side of the caps. I've checked the station height and that seems fine all around. They sit flat when...

Anyone have a roll or know where I could buy a roll of 3M LX480mc? Naturally it's another material being hit by supply issues, and I've got a job that'll use most of a 50yd roll this month.

Is there a way to print barcodes and corresponding numbers with rasterlink, without having to create each one individually in illustrator? I've got a job that wants a bunch of gift cards printed, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to create the art.

I've been printing this same black camo pattern for close to a year on ij180, many times on this roll even, and other than static issues they've always printed fine. Today they're coming out a dirty brown instead of the shades of black/grey. Nozzle check looks perfect, I've tried doing a...

What's the difference between all the Onyx versions? I currently have Postershop 18 for our Epson S80600, and I'm curious if it's worth upgrading to 19, or Thrive, or whatever the other options are. I'd like to dig into color profiling more, given that we're a paint shop and it'd be nice to...

With my Epson S80 on ij180mc, I constantly have issues when printing solid, darker colors where I get little splotches all over the print. It's almost exclusively happening on the ij180, and it's happened on multiple rolls. No matter how well I clean it, or blow it off with an anti-static gun...

I'm looking for a clear vinyl I can print on my epson s80600, that has air-egress so it can be applied dry and removed. As close to optically clear as possible, even if it takes a couple days for it to wet out. I've tried ij180mc-114, but the air channels never really seem to wet out like I...

I've got a job coming up shortly that's going to use around 500yds of material, with 2 cuts per yd. How well does the take-up system work? That's the only manageable way I can see to make this project work without printing each 2 cuts as one job and cutting them off as it goes. I know I had...

We're looking at getting a UJF-6042 MKii in the very near future, and I'm looking for opinions or reviews on how people like the machine. Or if there's a machine in the same category that prints better quality, I'm all ears. Print speed doesn't really bother us, it's all about print quality...

I haven't messed with the metallic ink much on our S80600 since we bought the printer almost a year ago, but have a job that it might work for now. I can get the machine to lay down the silver, but it really doesn't seem to give any different effect other than to darken the color. I had hoped...

Do the air channels every truly disappear on the Avery MPI 1105 SuperCast Easy Apply RS? First time using it, and I've noticed that you can still see the hexagon shape channels after application.

I've got a chunk of acrylic for a project, not quite 4'x8', and it needs full graphic print on it. I don't have a flatbed to print directly on it, so I need to apply vinyl to it instead. What's the best way to apply a large print to this, and what's a decent material for our eco-sol printer...

New problem today between Onyx and my Epson S80600. I keep getting an error in onyx saying "unable to retrieve page size from printer" when Onyx queries the printer for the media type and size. I haven't changed anything other than different rolls of material today. The printer displays the...

I just ran a file through Onyx postershop, printed on my Epson S80600, and sent to my Summa S2T160 through cut-server. It had 7 different files on it, and at least 5 of them double cut with a tiny offset, so they're ruined. I can't find anything different in the file setup, they were all...

We're looking to buy a new UV printer such at the Mimaki UJF series, but we're worried about vibrations from the train tracks right outside our shop causing issues with the print quality or height detection systems. The trains switch tracks and couple cars on the tracks there, and it makes for...

I'm looking for a removable material that's eco-sol printable, similar to like 3M ij180mc-UR, but it needs to be way more rigid. I've got a job where I need to print full color graphics, cut a honeycomb type pattern out of it, and apply to a part. The standard vinyls I've got are way too...
