In the world of screen printing you sell a TON of 18x24 signage, but if you look at the large format industry, the bulk of things printed are 36-40" in one aspect. This isn't to say that you couldn't get by with a smaller unit, being able to rotate your print will solve the media issue, but it...

Pix? banding is caused by so many different things, without a couple pictures it's hard to say exactly what's going on, even with them, it can be a challenge. It's like going to the doctor and saying, I have belly pain, and expecting him to tell you what's wrong without him being able to...

Horizontal ( along the platen) banding can be caused by multiple things, I'm guessing what you really meant was vertical banding ( 90 degrees to the platen). I've seen this on some of the older 9-10000s, and the ones that are production work horses. The only 2 things that I have found that cause...

Hope you're feeling better, I will keep you in my thoughts.

that looks electrical to me. unplug your machine, check the head cables, check the encoder strip.

just swap the pump lines. Disconnect the metal fittings above the pump for both lines and run magenta to black and vice versa

I'd recommend looking at the CET as well, from a technical end, this machine is superior to all the others.

Turn off your printer, then unplug, cycle the power button on front a couple times to insure there is no residual current in the system. go to the back of the machine find the media reel. unload the media Move the left media roller to the right remove the bottom left panel, it's held in...

I just saw this thread, and I thought back, way back.... Back to when I first got into this industry working for someone else, saw the strengths and weaknesses of the company, went through the highs and lows, built my skills, learned all that I could, then that company folded and went to work...

basically the way that it works is, The higher the resolution, the slower the printer prints because of mechanical limitations. it takes more precision to order the dots in the dither pattern for 1200x1200, then it does to print 1200x600. Typically the way a printer does this is by going from...

if you changed the damper, chances are you got alot of air in the ink lines, try syringing ink through the head from the pumps.

first step a nozzle wash After that it's trying to manually draw in from by the pumps.

It's "possible" for a head's electronics to go bad, but having it go bad immediately following a cleaning is suspect. I'd suggest bringing ink up to, and completely fill the damper. Manually syringe ink through the head at the pumps. Be careful when you do this, it's possible to destroy the...

Do you happen to remember WindowsME? Vista seems to fall into the same category. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a work around besides either upgrading to W7(pro or above to run in compatibility mode) or to purchase XP again and reinstall on the system. If all you are doing is running...

First off, your pump is split into 2 sections, one section handles the black, the other section the magenta, so it IS possible for HALF the pump to go bad. Secondly, being a service tech, I would never recommend a user disconnecting the ink lines and trying to manually flush the system, too...

We've all had those clients that we want to "light on fire and put out with an ice pick" It's obvious that CSDD was using the forums to vent, much as anyone would do to their peers. While it is often amusing to vent your frustrations and visualize adequate compensation for the offending parties...

just from looking at the quality of the screenshots, I'd say it's a pirate site with the movies being offered cams of the movies.

do you have any wash cartridges? if so you can check to see if the chip readers are operating by telling it to do a wash head, it will pump the lines free on ink, then tell you to install the wash carts. This probably wouldn't be a bad idea if this is a new unit for you, and hasn't been in...

I've done this, but I'm trying to remember if flexi or onyx was installed. Each printer had to have it's own FW card, make sure you update the card drivers for each, mimiaki has a specific firewire driver for the card. Once it's done there's a little mumbo jummbo to be done in the device manager...

planes* I love when I rush through things.
