Hello all We have an aging but still mostly great XR640 About 6 months ago started getting some cyan (light cyan i think) overspray which has not really been a problem but as of last week it seems to have gotten worse and now it looks like light black is doing the same Nozzle test print is...

Would have had to be factory add on as the only service its ever had from techs was the initial setup - do my own servicing Im considering trying it without the piece of hose to see if it makes any difference. Might need to find some long pliers or something to avoid having to dismantle the...

Interestingly looking at that dock compared with mine - ones on my machine have a small piece of clear hose/plastic on the switch arm which in theory would make tolerances tighter - maybe too tight?

Yea might have to give it a go, is XR the same as XC/SP?

Haha yea id say ours has done it for most of its life, just finally getting worse. Previously there was not really any pattern but lately it has really been those 2 carts which have been playing up

Just got around to setting up a new PC to run Versaworks Dual for our XR640 Was really hoping for some decent ripping speed increases but barely faster than the old machine Old Machine: Core2Quad Q8200 4GB Ram SATA HDD Win XP Pro New machine: i5 7600 (Quad core) 8GB of ram (was going 16GB but...

thanks! My supplier recommended VHB 9088 but does not have 4926, anyone tried that?

Any suggestions for VHB variety?

Hello all We have come slowly into the sign industry from a digital printing background. Mostly vinyl / comp panel signage But we are in the process of doing our first 3D lettered sign. We have Acrylic lettering that we had laser cut and have now painted and an unpainted acrylic backing board...

Got an email with upgrade instructions today to suit our XR640, fingers crossed its better and versa works has been very average the last few years.

Hello all We are in the process of printing a bunch of rolls of mesh banner on our XR640 Having a problem feed roll going loose on one side on long job and it walking a bit - having to reposition it after 10 or 20m sometimes when id like to be able to send a full 50m down at once. Iv been...
