I expect that’s the limit of your knowledge on the subject good boy, have a cookie.

It funny that you think that is a plus. Why don’t we rephrase that? “By the time you realised what a hash you had made of it, it was too late”. Per head, we have more ‘in & out people’ than the US. 3-4M visitors a year in a country of 5M, that would be like the US getting 300M visitors a year...

geographic distance doesn’t matter - people travel by planes now. you’re like the kid asserting his right to stick a fork in the power socket. The reality is your government has been a disaster, on nearly everything, and you would break in two before you admitted that, because freedumb. You...

I saw an apt comment the other day:” if you have trouble breathing while wearing a mask, you’re very likely to be one of the 6% that is very badly affected by COVID-19 and should be taking extra precautions, not less “

Most protestors seemed to be wearing masks. Can’t speak to the rioters, I really haven’t bothered following them. But you know who wasn’t wearing masks, were commingling in crowded bars and restaurants, were acting like it wasn’t the middle of a pandemic? The stupid. I am bemused by the...

Honestly we look on in horror and wonder how your ‘leadership’ got so self-serving, so bad. The power of money to corrupt is most evident in your politicians response. We too are in an election year, but the three main parties just got together and decided beating the virus was the most...

Looking in from the outside, the biggest threat is the kooks that say a) it’s just the flu b) it’s political to ‘get’ Trump c) they’re lying about the numbers for, whatever reason d) any Q or relatdd conspiracy. The reality is that you in the US are in a situation of your own making The reason...

One of them, yes. The six-colour one I am waiting on until it gets a little warmer - it’s freezing in my workshop, and I have enough laser biz to sink a small battleship at the mo.

Regardless of where it's from, right now, under lockdown, I can't get any supplies. I have a half-litre of cleaning/flushing fluid that the previous owner gave me that he's used since the CJ got a solvent ink upgrade, so I'll go with that. Just did a major reorganisation of the workshop, so the...

I've got a colour spectrometer that generates ICC-profile-matching prints, so not concerned on that front, plus the machines that came with the printers have profiles for ink, media, etc. already on them. Having difficulty finding cleaning carts locally. Is there another name? Flushing cart, or...

Is there any parts crossover with a CJ500? Edit: sorry, I'll look :)

What makes you think I think I know everything? I know how to set up RIPs, configure print queues, set up computers and install and upgrade VersaWorks. I know how to clean and soak the heads. What I don't know is where to start with resurrection. Getting a cleaning cart and running through...

I'm familiar with the computer side, thanks. I have the service guide, but it's short on resurrecting a stored machine. I think I have enough to get me going, now. Nothing ventured, and all that :)

I'm not in the US - but I am an experienced engineer/ ech - in the print industry, so RIPs, image setters, etc. and I've known these particular printers since they were new, but the previous owner did all the maintenance. I'm familair with the Epson head, as used by Roland. It's going to take...

thanks Jim. No, I'm getting them ready to run them for myself.

Thank you - exactly what I wanted. Yes, he did a full clean and flush and mothballed it for later - he knows these machines inside and out, but he's busy, lives 120km away and I took them on the understanding I wouldn't bother him :) And, while I'm comfortable with most machines, these big...

We seem to be stuck in a loop - I can't 'go ahead' as I don't know where to start. The anecdotes to info ratio is high.

In NZ I filled out a five-question online form, then five days later $8k in the bank - for 10 weeks, which will be renewed if we lock-down further. sole trader, no employees

US prices are not relevant in the South Pacific. Servicing costs are expensive and machines are kept running well after the time they would have been binned in the US. Our base prices for machines are 3-4x what you pay. And these machines were working fine before they were correctly...
