  1. Caldera Linux - Profile issue

    Thanks but I think unless the consultant was specifically trained in Caldera they would have been in the same quandary, fortunately Caldera support got back to me and stated if the print wasn't matching the icc test sample printed just prior to saving probably something had bad data, that it...
  2. Caldera Linux - Profile issue

    New to wide format with HP 26500, we are trying Caldera and would also try Onyx if they ever get their demo to us. Anyway we profiled vinyl without a hitch, except its the original 25 feet sent by HP and if this group is correct we won't be using more. Bond as CMYK as well. Now as a...
  3. Inexpensive cutting tools, how are these?

    Here are some inexpensive items I've found links to, what do you think? http://www.imageedge.com/products.html . Not so sure about the track though, any chance the head would work with a saw track track like eurekazone.com track mentioned below? Alternative would be something like...
  4. I purchased the Kooto Cutter, here is my review.

    What happened to the Kooto Cutter, website no longer works? What happened to the Kooto Cutter, website no longer works? Thanks, Ken
  5. Cutting Alumalite

    Hi Artbot; I can see you really endorse the Festool on items requiring cutting with a saw. Have you seen the Eurekazone track and considered it with a good saw? Also do you use or recommend anything for lighter substrates where a saw may be overkill? Like Coroplast, Foam Board...
  6. Wrap direction - is wrap facing in useable?

    It seems banner material wound good side in is the product wound correct to reduce waste so one could safely start with a 6" lead in. By loading reversed in order to have the glossy side print (what I meant by upside down), I was concerned the roll for unwinding/tensioning would not function...
  7. Wrap direction - is wrap facing in useable?

    Thanks, though it did not answer, is there a problem when the roll is reverse wound with the good side in or will the HP automatically figure it out? My next issue, the default HP lead edge after a cut is something like a quarter inch, which again seems asking for paper to catch, do you...
  8. Wrap direction - is wrap facing in useable?

    New latex 26500, supplied HP sample is vinyl facing out on roll. Had ordered banner material and grommets from a different supplier (as they had grommets, machine supplier did not) so banner material is not HP brand - roll has good edge facing inwards, this seems to make a lot more sense as...
  9. Paper catching on lead edge

    A new HP 26500, I've noticed 2nd test out on bond paper to calibrate, item caught going over vacuum area, set that to 3" leader, jammed worse. 4" leader seems to work. Poster paper over 200 gsm - hasn't jammed up but did see a lead edge defect like it caught momentarily. Yellow black...
  10. Need specs on computer shopping...

    No that site will only provide the Start menu back like it was in Windows 7. I'm not sure of the issues you speak of with swipe, though I see a link to get rid of them here http://www.howtogeek.com/135507/how-can-i-disable-windows-8-swipe-gestures-on-my-laptop/ . Anyway it is not a big...
  11. Need specs on computer shopping...

    Do me a favour and go to ninite .com and install the free Classic start screen and any of the 90+ programs be it free, shareware or commercial available in a 1 click install, you can always remove the Classic Start screen - then tell me if that doesn't resolve your issue with Windows 8 on a...
  12. Need specs on computer shopping...

    Alternatively, the Mac Pro's coming out in December look like they would be an interesting platform, dual booted to Windows. Ken
  13. Need specs on computer shopping...

    Because of that issue with peripherals - I just put together a RIP for Caldera running Linux (or Onyx) but also purchased Windows 8 to see what it would do as a Workstation. Overall I am quite happy with the unit, though I have yet to receive Onyx - they sent Poster shop instead of the APPE...
  14. Buying a printer - considering Roland VS-540i

    A word of caution; I sent this xerox file http://dc.communityprinters.com/colors/Complex%20Design.pdf to vendors of wide format. Mimaki, HP, and Roland. 2 out of 3 printed it correctly. The 3rd printed it wrong with white frames around the pictures which differs from the monitor display...
  15. Wiring my new shop. Does the HP Latex printers have a regular 220 plug?

    Any link to those surge protected outlets or surge protector for 20 amps 240, Thanks, Ken
  16. Wiring my new shop. Does the HP Latex printers have a regular 220 plug?

    No we have the 260, the issue is when you have 3 phase it is 208 not 220 to 240 single phase. 3 phase uses a 3 pole breaker, however if you use a 2 pole breaker you get 208 volt single phase yet supposedly if using a single pole it is 120 volts. Anyway power is taken off the 3 phase panel using...
  17. Post your worktable/workspace!

    Here is a 4 x 8 using some extra boltless ez-rect steel shelving we had, 3/4" plywood underneath 1" on top with 1/4" puckboard on top of that. Cross pieces are available to 4' wide, lengthwise in 4, 5, 6 and 8 We just put in a 61" HP Latex to compliment our offset and digital printing of the...
  18. ICC Nightmare

    A little bit of both is probably a good idea - we have the Spectro hardware because of our copier side but also found some oranges a problem. Finally I Googled on line for Color charts, CMYK charts and found some from CMYKchart .com at 5% gradients as well they include RGB and Pantone you can...
  19. Wiring my new shop. Does the HP Latex printers have a regular 220 plug?

    I just got this done, one is flat , one is vertical for 20 amp 240 and of course the ground is round, mind you they also sent European cords as well and those are round. The electricians also had to use a buck booster transformer to go from 208 - 3 phase to 240 single phase, they did that near...
  20. Paper Trimmer?

    Are you printing more than 1 up or is it something you could get a print shop to cut a stack for you. Or possibly the paper company you are buying from, If you buy a years supply of paper probably in terms of 250 sheets the cutting of the stack shouldn't be over about $10.00 you may get a decent...
