  1. Roland SP-540V Carriages are Disconnected error

    I think that is a ribbon cable problem, been a looooong time though.
  2. Epson S80600

    We have two of the previous generation printers (S70670 / S70675) and LOVE them. Great colors/print quality and great white also. They just run run run. Super fast, and fast drying inks. The new series inks are 3M MCS compatible inks, so that is a bonus if you're a 3M shop.
  3. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    Also, another thing that drives us nuts here is trying to figure out what exact vehicle the customer has that needs wrapped. They will tell you that it's a Sprinter or Transit, etc and send you a straight on shot of the front and rear, and a real narrow angled shot of the side (because it is...
  4. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    That one guy who has the stock photo site who is an a-hole on the phone. I forgot about how annoying he is...
  5. Client Asked Me To Relocate Plastic Gemini Letters. ADVICE?

    (Assuming no one has a paper template for install and that the letters survive removal) I would take a piece of phototex out there and lay it over the letters and trace them. Then remove them from the wall and bring them and the phototex back to the office and put the letters on the phototex...
  6. Clear repositionable vinyl

    IJ40C will remove w/o residue, but is not 100% clear, get a sample from a distributor and give it a try.
  7. Floor graphics

    We use a material that you don't have to laminate for floor graphics whenever possible.
  8. Clear repositionable vinyl

    IJ40c-clear is about the closest I can think of and it is NOT optically clear, but is kind of clear and has air release.
  9. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    We run three 63" printers here and also two 15" edge printers, so we usually are primarily buying a lot of 54/48" material for the wide format, so we just slit the rolls of lam down for the small printers, you can also slit rolls of banner, mask, etc. We also do a decent amount of striping for...
  10. Dripping Ink?

    Not just drips while printing; if you unpark the head and move it over to the capping station and wipe it off, there will be magenta drip on it a minute later, then wipe it off and a minute later one will be back.
  11. Disintegrating Rubber

    ThePlotterDoctor has the best rate on replacement drums I have found.
  12. Installation area pics

    LED lights on the walls really helped here, and paint everything white to help bounce light around. Put a LOT of outlets in and put in a workbench area for installers to keep their tools on and rechargeable tools plugged in at.
  13. Paint damage from digital printing

    Sounds like cheap vinyl/lam was used when a proper cast combo should have been used...
  14. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    Buy a slitter; it makes life much easier. Now you also have free rolls of edge-seal tape. Took forever to convince them to get one here, then they said "why did we wait so long to buy one?"
  15. Something Funny....................................

    shaking my head... Just a few minutes ago someone was in my office asking me to build some temporary move-able walls for them to use in a hallway during construction. They said they wanted something simple and movable that they could hang artwork on to distract people during the renovation...
  16. Dripping Ink?

    It is a single "damper kit" assembly for this printer, it goes on both print heads - all 10 colors. Ouch!
  17. Colorchange Yellow

  18. Is there any way to fix leaning retractable roll up banner?

    bend the feet, or else they have the feet rotated backwards from usual? edit: it looks like the pole is jacked up in the photo, but that could be lens distortion?
  19. Dripping Ink?

    Epson S70670 10-color eco-solvent printer My magenta head on has recently started "leaking' or dripping. You can wipe the head off and a minute later a drip will be hanging off the head. This is the only color doing it. I cannot see any air in my lines anywhere, so I am guessing that it is the...
