I've stayed out of this one just because we're in America and wouldn't be a good option for you due to shipping cost etc. But just wanted to add some info that may help. There's not a single supplier or manufacturer who will warranty a print head installed by an end user. That's the inherent...

Unfortunately in these cases "lifetime" usually refers to the life of the product/service and not necessarily your life. Judging by that article, you're probably hosed. Sounds like the guy who made it all work died and no one wanted to keep it going.

Solvent based white has never quite hit the mark in my opinion. Pretty much any UV machine will do better. The Mimaki UCJV300 is a good roll to roll option.

I'm not the best guy for that recommendation. Perhaps ColorCrest has a suggestion. There are people who you can hire to do it as well.

The best way to match colors between printers is making your own custom color profiles. Even printers of the same brand and model can print differently without calibration. Do you also send RGB files to the Epson? If not, try sending the CMYK file to Rasterlink. It might get closer for you.

Make sure the ink end sensor is also not broken in the yellow slot. It's a little, black, plastic lever that can break very easily. If it breaks, it will flag every cartridge you install as near end which would also cause the machine not to allow you to do cleanings. And yes, if you replaced...

It looks sort of like the magnetic sensors used on the sub tanks or some other kind of sensor. You would be getting errors if it's a sensor that should be working so I'm assuming it's a left over from a past repair possibly. If there doesn't seem to be any area where wires used to go into, it's...

That looks out of whack to me for sure. You need to run the head alignments after installing a head. Also, make sure you clean the area under the head bracket. A lot of the time ink gets in there and makes it stick like glue and so the physical alignments don't actually move like they should.

You can absolutely use calendared vinyl for something like that. No laminate needed. Oracal 651, FDC 4200 series are two good calendared vinyl options that will hold up in the elements. Of course cast will last longer but overkill for something like this in my opinion. Our front door has had FDC...

Most cutters have a small memory and rely on the computer to continuously feed it data. In most cases, if that stops in the middle of a job, the computer went to sleep. Check your computer's energy saving settings and turn of sleep.

Once the chip is labeled as ink end, it is permanent. If there is a large amount of ink in the cartridge still and it was triggered in error, buy a new card and slap it on there. That will get you going. If the cartridge is actually empty, you need to get a new one. Slapping a card on an empty...

Try Ordway Sign Supply in southern California. They are a reliable Roland dealer. For 3rd party I like Bordeaux.

One of my responsibilities as a manager at Papa Johns was to send people home early if labor cost percentage got too high. Most of them were happy to leave but sometimes someone would be really mad because they needed the money. One of the worst parts of the job was sending those people home...

Yup, either run two computers or get the full blown version of Flexi and run whatever you want.

Make sure your maintenance parts are all working properly. Clean the cap top, flush the pump lines to make sure they aren't clogged. Change the cap top if it's 1-2 years old. Make sure your head height lock screws are tight. Sounds like the station just isn't getting a good seal and/or something...

Haha. Figures. It's on the public site but not the dealer site! Thanks for letting me know!

Huh. Where did you get it? I'm a dealer and the latest one they give me is 3.08!

I don't have it unfortunately.

I think I may have an idea of what's going on with this new information. Your firmware version shows 3.09. The latest version for the 1324X is 3.08. I believe you have 1324 non-X firmware installed as the latest firmware for the non-X version is 3.09. That would certainly cause issues. Have your...

How's the nozzle check look? Looks like you're missing at least some black nozzles.
