If you have the newer Omega and Edge also you can just "Home" both and forget about the eyepiece. Both are great plotters.

Hold on, start with giving us ALL the info on the job: Exactly WHAT high performance vinyl are you using? Printed & laminated or just cut vinyl? What surface are you applying it to? Painted tank or stainless steel tank? Maybe supply a photo of it. Can you show us a photo of the lifting and where...

oh, I'm not joking. The twinkie was the winner for longest streak. Grossest, now that's another story...

Not replying to the comment, just saw your "member status" and really did LOL.

Been listening to a lot of what you'll find on Austin City Limits. A lot of music you wont hear on the radio, Conor Oberst, Jack Johnson, Josh Ritter, Modest Mouse, Nathaniel Rateliff, and always Les Claypool.

Be careful - once you start it is hard to stop! We laminated a Twinkie once and it stretched out about 8ft long.

From each individual cap comes a seperate tube, Cyan & Black then connect in a "Y" and go into one pump, and Magenta and Yellow "Y" into the other pump. The tube coming from the Black and into the "Y" maybe the culprit or the black cap seal is bad or not seating correctly/firmly; that is my...

Park the heads on the capping station, disconnect the ink lines from the pump, and apply suction to the lines with a syringe or brake bleeder hand-pump to get ink flowing through the lines.

I believe the problem is a bad pump or ink line from the caps. If the pump isn't priming the head correctly, you will have drop-out like pictured. it seems to fit that after a strong cleaning (extra pressure on heads) that the ink flows correctly, but otherwise it doesn't. Remember, ink isn't...

MacTac offers both dusted and frosted style films in the BFree material. Never had an issue with it here, but our guys use the GeekWrap squeegees.

Wait, are you in the graphics industry, or the carwash industry printing in-house? Do it all as a wrap, you're actually going to waste more material and time doing it all as print/cut. Use quality cast material with air release and appropriate laminate.

I have not used 4-Over, but I have had really good quality large banners come back from Vincent Printing.

Recently I have been using MacTac's B-Free dusted/frosted. It has air release, so no more doing it wet or worrying about bubbles.

that stool looks painful!

Post up a pic of the banding and the nozzle check.

Power off the machine. Take the cover off the dampers/heads. carefully remove one cable and write how it was connected onto it. Remove another cable and do the same thing. Swap the cables locations. Power back on the machine and see if the problem moved with the cable. If so - bad cable, if not...

Once the office chairs get looking ratty here we pull the backs/arms off and throw them out in the garage for the installers. Comfy seats, adjustable heights. And if they accidentally get lost/stolen/left oh well.

100% Dirty encoder strip or sensor; clean both a couple times, then run the calibration/test a couple times. Clean with regular ISO 70% alcohol. NOTHING stronger.

The first foot or so of a roll is usually contaminated anyways from handling, etc. I also always do a nozzle check before any long print, so that uses a few inches. And once it is printed it is headed on over to the laminator anyways, right? So, you're going to need something to get the...

Restylers Choice sells the kits and can provide you with unbranded catalogs.
