If you get an OEM one you don't have to punch the holes and it should be very easy to change. The only ones you have to cut to to length and punch holes are the after market ones. Just make sure to take any protective film off before install and wear rubber gloves to prevent finger grease messing it up.

So we got the encoder strip replaced and after a couple prints we are already getting mis registered prints, even printing on the station itself. My only guess is that there is a hair or something on the sensor itself, is there anyway to clean the sensor or is this going to require another visit? Any help would be appreciated with the sensor cleaning or IDing the problem. Thanks guys

By mis registered prints what do you mean? Do you have a picture?

Our White (Valid Pixel) layer wasn't lining up with our Color layer and the entire job wasn't printing true to where it should have been. There was a nice little hair right on the sensor that we got taken care of and we're back up and running. Thanks for the reply and help everyone
