  1. Would an S2 T series plotter solve my issues?

    Whenever you set OPOS Markers in very low distance, you take the risk that a different marker is read. There is no difference between D and T, OPOS X and OPOS CAM. I do not know what you mean with a "mechanical" OPOS-Sensor, the OPOS X-Sensors are the same. An OPOS CAM will not be lowered on...
  2. LIMIT POSITION not easily separating tool carriage

    The magnet works permanently, it needs power everytime when the carriages separate, and the carriage needs to be hooked. If you get motor errors 0040 and 0080, the magnet itself could not be the reason. One reason for it could be truly a wrong limit initialize.
  3. dx4 printhead nightmare

    I do DX4 Head Replacement for years as a technician, and never had one DOA. Have you replaced the dampers too?
  4. Latest L300 Firmware

    What firmware version do you currently use? There is a very little upgrade currently out which can be downloaded, but it is not set to be available for upgrade from the last version because it is not necessary. If you use 00_06_02.10, you will not be able to upgrade to 00_06_02.12 through the...
  5. HP L-310 vs L-360 for small start-up sign/print business....

    Upgrading the FlexiPRINT HP Edition to the premium version is not the same price as buying Onyx in the first place. Perhaps only if you consider RIPCenter, but this version is really poor on features (not comparable to FlexiPRINT Premium Edition). The upgrade is a few hundred Dollars only. And...
  6. New Versaworks DUAL Rip?

    It is not easy to answer. I work for a dealer, and we support 4 different RIP-Softwares to meet most of the customers needs.
  7. HP latex 310 Print Quality? Grainy?

    Something about comparison: if he uses a 360 at his location, this printer will do the media advancement calibration automatically. Could be confusing.
  8. HP latex 310 Print Quality? Grainy?

    You can be shure if you ask such questions to more people you will get "the only one I will ever suggest" recommendation for every RIP on the market today :) . Flexi is a good choice, for some of the latex printers it is the OEM-RIP HP delivers in the box. Flexi can't be the cause for grainy...
  9. HP latex 310 Print Quality? Grainy?

    One reason for grainy print can be that the feed setting is wrong. This could specially be the problem if the side margins of the print are ok, but the front and back margins are unsharp. You will find a test print in Settings - Image quality maintenance - Substrate advance calib - Print...
  10. Can I store vinyl rolls in a cold place without ruining it?

    Should be no problem. Problems can happen when processing vinyl (cutting or specially printing) directly out of this trailer, if there is a high temperature difference between the trailer and the workshop. Let the media acclimatize a few hours in the workshop before using it.
  11. Self Adhesive Vinyl for Latex Contour Cutting

    Which cutter do you use? And which software? If you use a Summa S-Class or SummaCUT-R-Model, you could set RIP (if it supports it) and Cutter to OPOS XY which will compensate some effects of vinyl deformation. If possible with your RIP, you could set the number of markers to a higher amount...
  12. CSM file updates

    The CSM-Files are no driver files, but driver configuration files. So it could be that with the CSM-file only, your plotter will not work either, because some DLL- oder XML-File is still missing.
  13. Versaworks and Summa

    It is the easiest way, but not the best way. No other roll cutter beats the contour cutting abilities of Summa's OPOS X. It is much faster, more reliable and more functional than the roland system. I know noone who bought a roland cutter for contour cutting.
  14. Flexi Crash Conspiracy?

    If using FlexiSIGN-PRO (up to 11, since 12 named "FlexiSIGN & PRINT"), you can use the Softproof-Feature in the "View"-Menu. Be shure that the color settings are correctly set to the printer and profile you want to simulate.
  15. New Versaworks DUAL Rip?

    So Roland has now solved an issue commercial RIP-Vendors have solved several years ago. Another argument to buy commercial RIP's instead of using free VersaWorks. Would be useful only if third party plotters would be supported. I know no-one who uses a stand alone Roland Cutter for Contour...
  16. Flatbed vacuum blowing not sucking on fb500 hybrid

    The printer have 3 vacuum zones only, each of them consists of a bar of multiple fans. You will run into much bigger problems as just leading edges of thin media fluttering in the wind if one of them blows (media will not feed directly into or out of the printer for example). Have someome...
  17. Flexi Crash Conspiracy?

    If you use Flexi 10.0.2 and complain about bugs, I would suggest to keep your Flexi at minimum up to date with the free Flexi 10-Upgrades ... the last one is 10.5.1, after 10.0.3, 10.0.4 and 10.5. Refer to www.flexisign10.com for the updates. Never heard about this issue ... and I do...
  18. SJ-745EX B Group not printing

    There is one fuse for every group on the head board (near the connectors). Try to measure if the middle one is broken. Unfortunately the fuses are solded, so you need a soldering iron to replace it.
  19. HP Latex 310 questions

    The FlexiPRINT-Version that comes with a Latex 310 will not print contour marks for any cutting plotter. There is a FlexiPRINT HP Premium Edition Upgrade available who will do that.
  20. New Machine Purchase coming soon, but which one?

    Where should it come from? The ink contains of mainly water. The suggestion of "Castek Resources" is good: check it yourself.
