Yes, I'm working in the field. I'll PM you the details.

This would depend on how it was inked up earlier. There were a few options available. The most common were CMYKx2 and CMYKlclmlk. Did you ask the previous owner?

Thanks Gary! We do go back a long time - 4edgetalk - good memories. :biggrin:

I've seen a lot worse on the grit wheels. It's a good idea to keep those clean, but I doubt that they're the cause of your cutting problem. Let us know what the tech says.

I have experience with HP, Roland, Mimaki, Mutoh and Epson. They all make good machines. As Boudica pointed out, there's some info that is missing for anyone to make a solid recommendation for you. What's your product? Who's your customer? What's your budget? You point out that you have no...

Hi All! I've been around for years, helping when I could. For 37 years I was with Denco doing tech support most of those years. Recent events have made it possible for me to start helping out on my own. I just got my documents from the state that I'm a legal entity. Now for the fun work of...

You'll likely need a new X motor. They're no longer available from Graphtec though, so you'll need to find a parts machine or used motor somewhere. If it helps, the Graphtec part number was Part Number: 53501-003T, Description: Motor, Drive X-Axis FC4100-130.

Flexi allows you to work with colors in either color space (and more) in the same file. You'll need to select the vector shape that you want to change and open the advanced box on the fill/stroke editor and select the color mode: If you're wanting to change the color mode of a bitmap element...

You've got several things going on. You've got Flexi using spot mapping which will take your pantone spot colors and use the maps colors. This should get you the best match, but it only works with vector graphics. Your rendering intents for vectors and bit maps are not the same. If you want...

Have you tried resetting the factory defaults on the noisy plotter? (Hold down the up arrow when you power on the plotter) Good luck

The borders of an .EPS file are defined by the artwork, so it's common for a part of the outside artwork to go MIA unless you have the EPS margin set too something greater than 0. I usually set it to .1 when setting up new customers. The border of a pdf file is defined by the art board so it's...

I'd love to help, but the travel would be the killer on this deal. Good Luck

I'd try cutting this over the cut strip. You'll get better cut quality - especially on small letters.

Can you post a picture of the loaded media before you send the barcode and a picture of the plotter when you position the cutting head to read the barcode? If the plotter passed the calibration, it should do this just fine.

Is your cut strip in good shape? Also is the blade sharp and exposed correctly? Is your blade holder in good shape? What speed, force, offset, and acceleration settings are you using? I've not had to change step pass settings and you'd probably be better off resetting the factory defaults on...

The media sensor is on the left side of the carriage towards the back. They tend to pick up overspray and after a while can't read the edges of the media accurately. Try cleaning it with a dry swab. If this doesn't fix it you'll need to replace it. It looks like you can still find it...

The "chain" that carries the ink tube and cables clicks and clacks as it rolls back and forth - this is normal. This would be at the rear. The pulleys are at the ends of the printer and generally don't make noise unless the belt isn't adjusted properly. If it's new, get with the dealer. If...

That's the nature of solvent inks. It's one of two technologies currently popular for outdoor durable graphics. The other is latex. You might want to check that out but the smallest I know of is 54" wide. Why not just replace the head on your bn-20? It's tough for schools that take a 2 or 3...

Your orange channel is gone. It contributes greatly to the reds when it's used. As cornholio says, choose a print mode or profile that doesn't use orange and you should be able to get some production done without orange till you can get the head replaced. The heads aren't necessarily fragile...

You'll be fine Stacy. As one who was pushed into a transition recently, once you're on the other side, you'll be relieved.
