the fiber appeared to be outside of the black seal... touching it but not on the metal grid inside of it... just against the outside edge. Perhaps when i moved the carriage out the fiber was moved. Nervous about plugging in two new ink cartridges and losing the ink again... suggestions?
Did not notice the ink on the fiber but the ink must have ended up in the bottle somehow as there is no ink elsewhere. Took a couple of panels off and looked inside and everything looks clean.. With nearly 2 cartridges gone I would think I would notice it if it leaked elsewhere.. should...
looks like the printer just wasnt shut down... I loaded ink and walked away... had to leave- father being taken to ICU.. Employee left it on.. admitted he didnt think to check it for powering off before he left. Ya know... when you dont pay the electric bill you dont worry about whats...
IF I put two new BLK ink cartridges in it is it likely I will lose all that ink also? Never had this happen.. I just found out from an employee that the printer was ON all night.. problem associated with that?
do not see ink all over... pulled the ink cartridges out - they are about empty... can tell by weight. No ink on floor... must be in the bottle. ????
Of course I have jobs due today... ugh.

Shut off printer and called it a day.
This morning turn on printer to run some jobs and the black ink shows near end on both cartridges... where did the ink...
How should edge decals be priced? Square foot based on number of foils used? I want everyone in our shop to be on the same page regarding this... With prints off the Mimaki it is a square foot price.. period. With the edge they struggle and i want consistency. Last order was a...
so we still can not get our registration fixed... started looking at the foils as they came with the machine and I do not know how old they are... Job calls for a purple.. and that is the color that just refuses to line up. We swapped it with another purple cartridge that came with the...
Had something like that happen on an Edge LE years ago... turned out to be a bad cable.. had too severe of a bend behind the counter and it eventually developed a bad spot. tried a lot of things before that but replaced the cable as sort of a last ditch effort... worked fine with a new one...
thanks
I have used an Edge for about 10 or 11 years at a job and never had 1 issue. Now I own one and here we are.. I am running some tests to see if it is a clutch issue on the foil or vinyl or a print head alignment issue... I hope to get it back in line.
I have never done it... but I know an owner who claims he does it... I would maybe call somewhere like Advantage sign supply etc. and ask a tech to be sure. I guess if the price is real good you could always re-sell them if its too much hassle or doesnt work.
When running the Gerber Edge we are having trouble with the colors lining up or with the registration. Used 3M 4 mill calendered vinyl The machine is clean enough to eat off of but I did notice the punched holes in the vinyl looking a little distorted... I tried to see if something was...
