people often think that they need to either lay flat, or suspend their printed materials in order for them to outgas, but really all you need to do is leave them loosely rolled, so the printed material isn't touching the release liner, and leave them sit until cured. it takes up less space, and...

I'm with stealth ryder on this, while it's a great idea to periodically pull things apart and clean them, I'd never recommend pulling heads out as part of that procedure. I'm a service tech, it's what I do for a living, and while I applaud users for being proactive in their maintenance programs...

are you planning on taking your printer out of service, is that what you intend? If so, you don't need to pull the heads, you need to flush the system free of ink.

typically I can figure things out rather quickly, and I know I've seen this before, but I can't find it. I even tried wtf but it didn't come back with any hits, sorry.

why are the people in New York City so depressed? Because the light at the end of their tunnel, is New Jersey. Welcome from VA.

it really depends on your workflow. I've printed probably over a million feet of media, and never once had a problem with lamination coming off a print ( cold laminate ) because I laminated too soon. I did have a problem with laminate coming off of something that was cured a full 24 hours once...

I've been using pshop since version 2.0. I'm not fast really, just really really really experienced.

one thing that I do, because I've yet to find a globalized filter or anything to do it for me, is duplicate the layer that needs fixing, go to brightness and contrast ( to start) and fiddle with it, until you're happy, then grabbing a large brush eraser, get rid of what you don't want. It...

depends on what printer you're using. Oracal has 3850, which is their translucent, it has white adhesive, and is used for back lits. Flexcon has several materials, busmark, busart, busmark being my preferred ( a5800). All readily accept Olam.

I'm from NH, long before I moved to virginia. beautiful country, I loved it.

Most modern computers come with tons of RAM, which XP won't recognize, typically. XP recognizes 2 GB of ram then without some real serious monkeying around, won't go any higher, with the 64 bit version of XP it's "possible" to get 4 gb to recognize. While this is true of any computer (32 bit vs...

our local dumps have containers for the stuff, but to help in the future, if you leave your waste ink uncovered, in time all the VOCs will evaporate, leaving you with a big black blob, which you can then throw in the trash. ( it's just like throwing away a trash print)

man, I wish I had joined sooner, this would have been an awesome conversation to get in on. Many unanswered questions are you using RGB images ( subtractive color) or CMYK images ( additive color)? Which Rip software are you using? Are you using GCR/UCR, what is your black generation composition...

I used to be a die hard Seal supporter, I ran one, was a distributor, and apart from a couple quirks, they were by far one of the best out there. That was years ago, I got out of selling them, and just ran my 600D and my 600C, hundreds of thousands of feet of laminate later and I still stand by...

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone. You have made me feel right at home. Hopefully I can help out from time to time with user's issues.

I'm in the same boat, I had this happen to me on my 160sp, I'm sitting here trying to remember what I did to correct the issue.

this is kind of a nebulous error, it could be the main print controller board, the 1394 board, or the i/o board. I'd call your tech and let him know what's going on so he can grab a couple and head on over.

make sure you look at the nozzle test print, additionally, request test prints ( about 6x10") of each of the 4 primary colors. look at the cap, and look under the head to make sure the head isn't scratched at all. ( you can do that by moving the carriage all the way to the left, grabbing a...

while the installation could be fairly easily handled, the calibrations can be a bit confusing, giving that you are replacing multiple heads at once. Replacing one head is seldom an issue, as you have others to reference, but with multiples gone, I would suggest calling a tech. send me a PM if...

There's no reason to think you're an idiot, if we all could do what everyone else could do, then we wouldn't need brain surgeons, etc. Each of us does what we can, and what we're good at. If you're ever in need of a tech, just drop me a line, and we'll get you sorted.
