  4. I need a designer who can also do production

    We all do haha good luck! I'll even settle for a production guy who can do simple type setting and layouts and learn the printers/plotters/laser.
  5. What kind of PC do you get for large format files .tiffs and such

    I don't think I saw anybody mention the word "workstation". For somebody who is asking what kind of computer to get they might not know all the terminology thrown around but "workstation" would help narrow things down. I saw a mention of Xeon and ECC RAM but that might not mean much to a...
  6. UV ink issue in DX5 printhead

    Hi all. I flushed my lines and added new Nazdar 710 series UV inks to my UV printer in 2 of the lines (magenta and white) to test out. Now those nozzles are completely clogged. Has anybody else had this issue? I see Nazdar has 260 series UV inks that are designed for the DX5 printheads but...
  7. Beware malicious email

    Ah, I always thought WAN was wireless area network referring to your wireless connections. OOPS. Google cleared that right up, Thanks!
  8. Beware malicious email

    Do you mean LAN? My production machines don't have wireless capabilities and even if they did a wired connection would be faster and more reliable. Even a wired LAN is susceptible. You could have production machines on a separate LAN from email/web surfing computers but good/smart email...

  11. Do You Repair Your Roland Yourself?

    I will add that if I ever feel like I might be in over my head with a particular repair I call a tech in so I can watch and learn.
  12. Do You Repair Your Roland Yourself?

    Well I've never had a Roland but I do my own tech work on printers. I've done work on a Mimaki, Mutoh VJ1204, HP L25500, HP Latex 360, Compress iUV, and am currently learning our new HP Scitex 500. I've also done repair work on our Gerber edge, lasers and plotters. It pays off IF you are good...
  13. Printing RED on the HP

    I made a new profile on mine with all ICC off and no color curve corrections. Ink limit at max. This prints pure color as seen on screen without the rip messing with it and I get some pretty nice reds. Still can't hit some pantones but its pretty close. This only works for vector though...
  14. Mutoh 1204 Banding / Bad Nozzle Check

    I agree with Ryse Inc. OEM inks all the way. We had the SAM ink big tank addon with 3rd party inks and chip cards and the system was a pain to use and nozzles were constantly getting clogged. Check the suction of your capping station. You can check the suction via the waste ink tube coming...
  15. HELP! COLOR SHIFTING PROBLEM WITH LATEX PRINTER......

    Both of these. Also, the life of the printhead (if it's anything like my latex 360) plays a big part in it. We just ran an entire 60" roll printing a lot of blues earlier this week and had very little color shift because I replaced the printheads before running it. The old ones were both at...
  16. Question Import PDF text

    I've made PDF files that I know have no text and imported them into CorelDraw and get the pop-up about leaving text or converting it so it might just be programmed into it. Heck, sometimes it happens with a customer file and all thats in it is an embedded jpg. Maybe it's a glitch. I always...

  18. Summa F1612 Bed Vacuum

    Setting the size in Summa Axis Control: It concentrates the suction to the smaller piece's width along the right side (origin side) It does not work for length so that option is useless- I talked to the tech who set ours up. He said its basically 1 wall that moves inside from the left (wider...
  19. Need Help HP Scitex error: encoder strip

    I tried that, thanks. I'm not sure its because of a head strike. The actual strike wasn't bad and the mark was about 1/2" long on the corner of the media on the service side. I was hoping it was some dust knocked loose and blocking the reader like you suggested but I stuck a piece of paper in...
