Line sensor checked out OK reloaded some media and had the same issue..

Okay I cleaned the encoder strip really well, I am not finding any setting to allow me to calibrate the line sensor. Do you know where I can find that?

Thank you for this! When you say encoder/sensor are you talking about the encoder strip? Carriage motor is a possibility I suppose but seems to function normally with the exception of loading new media.

Good Morning Signs 101 Crew, I have an HP 335 Latex and honestly it's been a great machine. About 3 weeks ago everything was humming along like normal and I needed to change out some media. Went through the normal steps and it was doing it's thing when I hear a KaChunk...BEEP BEEP BEEP error...

Yes. Are you using a sticky mat like a seklema? If not get one. Clean the back of your substrates really good, use the sticky mat, and drop your UV lamp control percentage to 50% on all boxes and use machine width for your shuttle width as opposed to data width in the settings. Ink will cure...

Doug Green is amazing.

I have a client that is wanting to sandblast a logo of just block lettering onto a stainless steel counter and they are asking for a blast mask. I am not worried about adhesion so much as a product that will hold up to the blasting, leaving nice clean lines around the letters. Any product out...

DCS Machines are a nightmare... Side Note: I have one for sale if anyone is interested.

I hadn't, thank you for the tip!

I could really use a source for the Curved frames they used to sell. JPP has a few but not the right size. You used to be able to get one that fit a 8.5x14 insert.

I have a 661 and yeah you do need to shake the ink pretty regularly. It will alert you to shake either W or All the cartridges. I have left it for a few days and you just need to come back, shake everything and run a short clean. Should be good to go.

I have a Mutoh XpertJet 661UF UV printer and it works well on powder coated panels. I also use bohle metal primer on them with great success. I have also used some DTF transfers to powder coating with great results.

355TH Owner here. Been happy with it overall, and any issues that I have had with it were 100% my fault. Also the heat works great for laminating UV DTF Transfers or if you want to laminate hard substrates.

By far the most common frustration I have is trying to explain what art file I need. "But, It's right there, I can see it on the computer screen, it looks fine." :rolleyes:

Interesting... They were on there a few weeks ago. I did call into Lexjet to ask some questions and get more info about customer satisfaction etc. Guy I talked to was pretty confident that they worked every bit as good. Sited a few incidents where a cartridge didn't work for one reason or...
