After the nozzles start to clog, do they come and go or is it the same clogged nozzles every time? If it's the former, I would suspect a pressure issue, sub tank issue, or other ink flow issues such as a clogged filter, bad valve, or air leak somewhere. If it's the latter, I would suspect a bad...

Defender and my awareness have served me well through the years. All other antivirus seems to slow the computer down significantly and I swear they're putting the viruses on there and then taking them off to show it's working!

I've seen issues like this and running VW as administrator seems to fix things. It's worth a shot.

In my first sign shop job we didn't have an outdoor printer so we made all of our banners with cut vinyl. Biggest one I made was 25' x 5' to hang under a billboard. Lasted about 5 years before noticeable vinyl cracking etc.

The EPL3 board is the upward compatible board for that machine but you do need to also get a conversion kit to get it to work. Mostly different cables from the slider board to the main board. These boards work in multiple machines which is why some can upgrade and some can't.

Unfortunately it's more complicated than that. What model machine are you working on?

I can't help with that one unfortunately. Sorry!

It depends on the model of printer and the ink configuration. What do you have?

If you're printing to 11 machines from one computer, the processor is your biggest asset. As posted above, each RIP engine will use a single core so if you have fewer than that, it's going to slow things down a bit. Some processors have fancy architecture that simulates more threads and that...

Three screws on the bottom of the head. There is a little bit of silicon on there so it takes a little force to pop it off. Make sure you don't lose the the rubber gasket between the manifold and the head. It falls off sometimes. Also, when putting the screws back in, do it like you would change...

When you ran the origin adjustment, did you use the same exact settings as the file you are trying to print/cut? The color profile, heat settings, and whether you are using crop marks or not is important to be the same as the file you're trying to cut. Try printing and cutting without crop...

This last year has made people really grumpy and suspicious of others. I was called skeezy the other day by a customer because a snow storm delayed his package and he wanted his money back and FedEx denied his claim because it was an act of god. I can't control the weather!

Try air dusting the board especially the memory terminal. Then see if you can test the power board to make sure it's outputting the proper voltage. Other than that, usually it's a fried main board.

I had heard that through the grapevine but wasn't sure enough to post anything. Guess it's true!

It's going to be an arms war between the deep fakes and the deep neural networks used to spot them.

Do a data swap. Basically unplug the head cables from the heads only and swap them so the black.cyan head is getting the magenta/yellow signal and vice versa. If the black and cyan head still fires and the magenta yellow one doesn't, the head is fried. If the black cyan stops printing and...

Because the virtual PC is hosted at a different office. So even though OP is sitting in the same room as the printer, technically the computer they are on is in a different office connected by the internet. The RIP is trying to send the data through the internet, through the local PC, and then...

When both the printers and the computer are in the same room, they are most likely on a gigabit network which is why they are fast when you print locally. When you print to the printer at the corporate office from your office, technically you are just sending a file to that computer and the it...

I have a customer who makes promotional hockey pucks for the Colorado Avalanche. He uses a Mimaki JFX200 UV flat bed. Would they stand up to actual hockey use? I have no idea. Find a dealer and send them some pucks to print on. I'm sure they'd be happy to.

There are certain printers that are certified for traffic signs specifically. One that comes to mind is the Avery Traffic Jet (Re-branded and modified Mutoh VJ1638). It uses a special ink set that hits the required colors spot on. I don't know of any printer/cutters that are speced like that but...
