  1. Why are my colors so different?

    Flexi usually defaults to different rendering intents for vector and raster. My first thought is to change the raster image rendering intent to the same as the vector to see if that improves it.
  2. NEED HELP NO B/Y/M/C WAS WORKING FINE ? ONLY LIGHT C/M

    Without a model number it's hard to tell but judging by the platen that is an old 6 head machine. My guess would be blown fuses on the head board because each fuse controls 2 heads. So in this case two might have blown which is why 4 heads dropped.
  3. Review Mimaki UCJV300-160 vs Mutoh 1682SR

    The Mutoh is a brand new model which means you won't get too many reviews yet. Mutoh printers are generally solid though. As BigFish said, UV hasn't really proven itself yet in the wrap market. The UCJV is a great machine but that would be one concern for sure.
  4. Need Help Diamond Grade Reflective cutting

    You will probably have a better time with the CB15UA-K30 blade. It's 60 degree angle is better for thicker materials. Your blade is 45 degrees which is good for about .5mm thick materials whereas the 60 degree is good for up to 1.5mm.
  5. End of Roll

    You can re-calibrate the sensor in service mode. A lot of people just put tape over the sensor so it thinks it always has media. Just be aware that this introduces the possibility of the media actually being at the end and it will print on the platen until you notice it!
  6. Can this head be cleared?

    Usually when you can see the nozzles messed up like that it's physical. With electronic failure it usually either prints 100% no matter what is printing, it doesn't print at all or the nozzle check will look perfect but still print fuzzy edges. That being said, I have seen a few heads fail...
  7. Can this head be cleared?

    The only way to fry the board on the head when cleaning is if you get cleaning solution on it and then don't let it dry before powering up. Usually if I get solution on a board I clean it with 90% alcohol and then let dry just to be sure. You can also damage the head physically when trying to...
  8. XR-640 is out of Warranty - should I switch to 3rd party inks?

    Merchant memberships are cheap and easy to setup on Signs101.
  9. Roland GR-540 makes noise when should be quiet

    If it's a rumbling/humming sound, the motor voltage might need to be adjusted. I don't know if you can do that on a Roland but I do it on Mimakis once in a while.
  10. Need Help UJF-6042 White ink Valve/ needle part # Help

    The needle part number is 1033462. Hope that helps!
  11. Sign company or wana be TV stars?

    Chasin' that SEO!
  12. Hp 560 or Epson s60600

    Guess we'll have to disagree. I wasn't saying anything about latex. Just that Epson based eco sol heads do not fail sooner than HP ones that are consumables.
  13. Hp 560 or Epson s60600

    I don't doubt your experience with your machine. I have fixed 100's of printers and helped 1000's of people fix theirs. If your head degrades after one print something is majorly wrong. I have people who have gone 10+ years on a single head!
  14. Hp 560 or Epson s60600

    Not sure who told you this but it's not true. Sounds like an HP sales gimmick!
  15. Rasterlink pro 5sg bundle

    It comes free with new printers. Normally used printers will come with it as well but in the cases that the seller doesn't have it, you would have to purchase it. The free download is just a 30 day trial until you put the password in.
  16. How long a DX7 printhead is supposed to last?

    It's a creative idea for sure but I can't tell you either way. You would definitely need to turn off color correction for it to work but it's not something I have ever tried. If you do try it out, let us know how it goes!
  17. How long a DX7 printhead is supposed to last?

    Unfortunately no. The head on that machine is configured specifically that way. To change the color order you would need to be able to edit the firmware.
  18. How long a DX7 printhead is supposed to last?

    6 billion for each line. Usually magenta and yellow will hit that mark first.
  19. How long a DX7 printhead is supposed to last?

    DX7 heads with solvent inks usually last 3 to 5 years depending on use. The official life is 6 billion fires. If you don't use it a lot that can make it clog faster but usually a cleaning will bring it back. Have you changed the cap top yet? It should be changed once a year. Also, machines that...
  20. Software Help Roland VS/SP/GR user. Looking for an open source alternative for VW

    I'm pretty sure Rolands use the GPGL programming language. If you can create some code that turns your design file into GPGL code you should be able to send it directly to the plotter. Never understood why Roland does things this way. Every other brand of plotter I have used lets you cut...
