Can I remove and shake the white ink cartridge before I turn on my S80600? Or is it good practice to only remove them when the machine is going? It would be nice (I would think) to shake the cartridge just before it does it's automatic circulate, immediately after powering on. I have no chance...

Added white ink to my S80600. It prints the white channel as expected, but I cannot get it to use cut data while using the new white ink quicksets/media selections. Getting "no cut data" errors. The same files print and cut just fine in my non-white media settings and quicksets. All my work...

With a new modem brought some changes to the LAN IP addresses. I use my own router, and plugging that straight back in seemed to work fine for all devices except for the printer connection to Epson Edge Dashboard. My RIP and printer talk just fine with new manually paired IP addresses and I can...

I am trying to get my Kiss cuts to cut before my CutContour cuts in Onyx using the Summa barcode server. I do tons of CutContour cuts out of Onyx with the barcode and my Summa S2T with great success, but just can't seem to set things up so that Kiss cuts cut before them. They are properly named...

Recently upgraded to an s80600 but still using the Mutoh VJ-628 for a couple big clients that I can't instantly prep all the files for the Epson. However, my little pump motor seems to have conked out. Can't quite tell if it's simply clogged or something else is going on... Might not even be the...

I've read that while profiling in Flexi (and I assume elsewhere) that when it comes time for feedback from the linearization charts, Luminance is the best guide for CMK (darker colors), and Delta E better for yellow. However, I've also read and seen stuff that appear to show folks only basing...

Am I right in my long held assumption that for Summa Regmarks there needs to be an odd number on each side if there are more than just the two (front and rear)? Basically, if there are more than just the two, one of the Regmarks needs to be equidistant between them, hence why it should always...

Using Flexi and a Summa vinyl cutter. I like printing my stickers in batches of 50. All my clients order in multiples of 50, and 50 on a sheet is perfect for how I process them and best handle them physically in my shop. Is there a way to permanently save imposed print/cut files with regmarks...

Anyone using Flexi on an S40600/80600? Just curious if anyone had decided to forgo the bundled Onyx and go Flexi instead? I'm coming from a Mutoh/Flexi combo and have appreciated the simple color profiling in Flexi. I don't think the free bundled Onyx that comes with the Epson will profile out...

Does Onyx have a setting similar to Flexi (when using a barcode server) where it will automatically cut a job/sheet off a roll before starting the next one? Say if I have a whole roll printed of 50 smaller jobs but want to start popping things out as it continues to cut unattended? I have used...

I'm ending the year with just a couple clients making up a very large percentage of my overall sales/work for the year and I'd love to hear from other smaller shops that have either leaned into this, or been burned. Assume it's a longtime good relationship with another small business (no chance...

Can anyone think of a good reason not to offer general purpose stickers on air release vinyl versus not? Aside from wet application I don't see any downsides, and would love to just switch to all air-flo all the time. I can't foresee any argument even a picky client would have against it.... ...

Any reason to print larger regmarks? They wouldn't improve accuracy would they? Or would they?

Curious if anyone has seen this sort of "ghosting" in a RIP before? These are very small shapes, and I did play with levels a hair to get the ghosting to show up a little better (probably not visible on all monitors, before you call me nuts). There are arrows that show where the "ghosting"...

Flexi/LXi, cannot get past the "Characterization" tab in Color Profiler. Recently picked up a used X-Rite i1Pro2 that seems low-miles and passes it's own diagnostics. Intention is to build a few complete profiles for my ValueJet using the LXi 12 Color Profiler. i1 seems to be scanning and...

My question is whether changing the Dither option in Job Properties of a file/RIP will normally alter alter the color intensity? I imagined the dither to mostly affect the quality and speed of the RIP. I am trying to track down a print quality issue that I believe may be tied to the SO...

Looking for thoughts or philosophies on limiting the shrinkage of laminated & die-cut stickers that remain on the backing paper for weeks/months before being used. There should be some worst case sample photos at the bottom of the post. I use GF-203 and Oracal 210/215 to great effect for the...
