Hi there My brand new HP L260 (formerly called L26500) is telling me that there is a take-up reel jam, and that I must clear it before I can print. However, the take-up reel is clear, with nothing on it. The tension bar is fitted and moves freely up and down if I try it. The take-up reel sensors...

Hi there! When printing onto Phototex using my latex HP L26500, I get the message on the printer that the OMAS isn't working properly, and telling me to either clean it or disable it in the RIP. The sensor isn't dirty, so I need to figure out how to disable the OMAS from the Onyx ProductionHouse...

Hi there to you all! Just had Onyx RIP installed - running three different large format printers. (Previously been using Shiraz.) Finally getting to grips with Onyx's little ways... However, I don't seem to be able to find a way to print non-consecutive pages of a PDF. For instance, I may want...

Hi there! I'm new to the JV3 and I'm shocked at how much ink is wasted! I emptied the waste bottle a couple of months ago, and it's already nearly full! I lowered the frequency of the cycles when I emptied the bottle, but I'm shocked at how much ink has been wasted since then – it's nearly full...

Hi there! I'm looking into using wrap vinyl to cover items for exhibition stands (counter tops, walls, etc. – see my earlier post!). I've got a sample of some printable white wrap vinyl, which I'm about to have a test with on a circular 'coffee table' top, which is 600mm diameter. What I'd like...

Hi there! I run the large-format printing department in an exhibition and events design and manufacturing company. I've just been asked by the company owner if it is possible to 'wrap' an exhibition stand! He's thinking of times when we have, for instance, a counter-top, which is initially...

Hi again! Thanks to everyone who replied to my earlier thread about which flatbed printer my company should be looking into buying! I've another question, regarding flatbed printers and the way my company builds exhibitions... We build large, complicated exhibition stands, which involve...

Hi there! I have been asked by the UK exhibition company I work for to come up with proposals and prices for a large format flatbed printer to print onto, amongst other things, Foamex and plastics. It needs to be of a size such that 8ft x 4ft sheets could be printed in one. And prints need to be...

Hi to you all! I've got a JV3-160SP, which is being run via a dedicated PC and Shiraz RIP 8. I'm trying to print several panels of colour 3m long x 1.3m wide. Sometimes (but not all the time), when the print reaches 36% (although it has happened at 78% too), the printer head returns to the...

Hello to you all! My company is in the process of deciding whether to install a new Latex printer and Summa D160 cutter. Our other large format print machines here all run through Shiraz RIP, which can also print to the new latex machine we are looking at. My question is simply (!) ... What...

Hi there! I'm new to my company (and fairly new to large format printing), but have been asked to spec equipment for a vinyl printer/cutter combined or individual equipment. I've been looking at the various Roland/Mimaki solvent options available (mainly because we have an ancient Mimaki JV3...

Hi to you all! I'm new to the forum - and new to my role as large format printer operator with this company (although I've been a Graphic Designer for ever, with experience running cut vinyl and large format). I've been asked to come up with proposals for installing a vinyl printer/cutter - and...
