It's made in Adobe Acrobat using . . . . comment annotations. I have never seen this before lol! Basically it wasn't made in a vector designer so illustrator and Corel don't recognize what's going on. The only way I was able to get it to work was save it as a raster image from Acrobat. This is...

The Mimaki SR3 24" is about $1500 and will contour cut straight out of Illustrator or Corel. They have bigger sizes available but Mimaki is a good brand for cutters for decades now. Graphtecs are fine as well but I prefer the Mimaki.

Check the ink lines above the dampers for air bubbles. If there are any, try to tighten the connection of the ink line and damper. Then you can hook a syringe up to the waste tubes, there are 2 and they are connected so one has to be clogged to be able to pull, then pull with the syringe and try...

Yeah that looks very light. If it were me I would just do a maintenance on the machine which would include changing at least the cap top and dampers and maybe just the whole maintenance station especially if these parts haven't been changed in multiple years. That would rule out maintenance...

Post a picture of it and maybe we can see if something is wrong. That's the easiest way.

Was it printing red well before? If yes then it could be the damper for sure. What does your nozzle check look like?

Looks like the head is out of alignment for sure but the spray is a sign that you either have deflecting nozzles or the head is failing. What does your nozzle check look like?

I've done deals like this. The guy is in Trinidad and most likely no tech to train him on the island. Usually these guys buy the machine and are offered training at a higher cost but decline because it's cost prohibitive. They should be offering phone support though for sure.

Here is a note from the InDesign gradient help page. "When you create a gradient using colors of different modes and then print or color separate the gradient, all colors are converted to CMYK process colors. Because of the color mode change, colors may shift. For best results, specify...

This part doesn't quite jive. The RGB color space doesn't have a black channel and white would be 100% of each RGB not 0%K. I'm not sure if that is the problem but it just jumped out at me. I agree with ColorCrest that you should see if a gradient you make as you normally do prints OK or not OK...

Did you change the head recently? It looks like it's majorly out of alignment.

If anything I would just change over to the LUS150 inks. All of my customer use that ink set and it works fine.

The new style pumps are more reliable. I have yet to see one fail. The difference is the old pump has two separate channels.where the new style has only one. So on your SP540 the cap tubes would connect to a Y connector and then the pump rather than each connecting to the different channels of...

The only printer/cutter you are going to find around that price is a used Roland SP300 or maybe a Mimaki CJV30.

Try cleaning can greasing the rail that the wiper slides on. Then clean the wiper sensor. If that doesn't work, change the sensor, then the motor, then the maintenance PCB in that order. One of those items should fix the issue.

The XR640 is a dual headed machine with mirrored heads. I have never tried this on a Roland before but the dual headed Mutohs all allow you to turn one head off and run just one head. It's usually a setting in the RIP but sometimes it is a setting in the printer itself. You would still be...

It looks like the latest version is 3.05 according to my info. I usually don't recommend bulk systems unless you really use the ink. If you don't use a lot then I would stick with the 220 cartridges. That being said, if you do decide to go with the bulk system, Mutoh's system is pretty reliable...

CJV150s don't allow networking. You have to use the USB. Make sure you install the Mimaki USB driver first and then it should work.

The first thing I thought when I saw this post was, 'That poor poor soul. He doesn't even know what's coming."

If you didn't use registration marks it will be near impossible to go back. If you did use registration marks you can totally save it. Tape a few feet of scrap vinyl or even just backer to the end of your print so that when it goes to cut the pinch rollers have something to grab on to. Then just...
