Glad to hear it's not too unusual, it's just new to me. First time this has been an issue in the 8 years I've been operating this machine. However, I'm now finding that the ink is building up in the crack just above the media guide, between the black plastic strip and the platen. It's making...

Actually, upon closer inspection, the overspray IS getting on my prints along that particular edge. Depending on the print, sometimes it isn't even visible, but it definitely is on a white background. Had to shift my media all the way to the other edge to avoid this. Anyone got any ideas...

Wondering if anyone can shed some light as to why my GS6000 is generating so much overspray. I know I have some deflecting nozzles, but would that cause this much overspray? This was after about a 4 hour run. Doesn't get on the prints at all, just all over the edge of the platen and all over...

Anyone have a source for CHEAP custom printed squeegees? I often give customers a cheap blue squeegee when they are applying something themselves, and figured it would be great to get my logo and contact info printed on there. I've found some sources, just wondering if anyone on here has a...

I definitely wouldn't call it "splatter," more of an even overspray/mist, which could be a totally unrelated issue. It doesn't affect print quality and cleans up easily enough, but I know it probably shouldn't be doing that. Figured I'd start by replacing the flushing pad with something more...

Yes, I'm aware. I've been using quilting fleece in there for about the last year, but I'm getting a ton of overspray in the carriage parking area, so figured I'd try to go back to something closer to OEM. It's possible my choice of quilting fleece is just not dense enough to absorb much, so...

Can anyone confirm that the flushing pads sold for the Mutoh VJ 1624 is the same as the one in my Epson GS6000? I know a lot of the parts are interchangeable, often at a HUGE savings over buying OEM Epson parts. (Epson wanted some ridiculous amount for replacement media flanges/roll...

Yeah, that's on my short list of medias so far. I was just hoping that since I'm changing medias anyhow I could find something a little less expensive. Thanks, though!

I have a customer that installs commercial garage doors and has been having difficulty getting the small logo decals we print for him to stick to the cold steel garage doors. We're in Wisconsin...it's in the low 20s today, but will get colder. I've already informed him that both the stickers...

Wow! Just had my first experience with this dude (not sure which dude, but he was from Image Club). He called the other day and I missed the call...darn! Today I got it. He gave me some super weak sales line about his company, didn't sound enthused in the least bit. There was a pause and I...

For the 3-4 small jobs we do a year on this thing, it just isn't worth it. If my Epson GS6000/Graphtec FC7000 had slightly better print-to-cut registration (especially for small things), I'd really have no need for the EDGE at all anymore.

Man...these old machines and software really are a mystery to me sometimes. As of the end of day yesterday I still had not successfully sent a job to the EDGE. This morning I give it a go without changing ANY settings...IT WORKS!! UGH!!

My understanding is that ECP is only required for EDGE 2. Ours is an old, really old EDGE 1 (side open, with the big black knob).

So we have an EDGE 1 and an HS15plus plotter that were bought new back in the day. I've been the sole operator of them for the last 11 years and they've both worked quite well, for the most part. We're currently running Omega 2.61.0.10. Back in 2007 the computer these were both attached to...

We have an FC7000-130 here and we're running Cutting Master 2 directly out of Illustrator CS6. I've tried CM3 but for some reason it tends to end up just frustrating me so I always revert back to CM2. The issue I've had pretty much since day one is that my print-to-cut registration is ALWAYS...

I wouldn't say it's beyond my capabilities--I've painted a few custom motorcycles/choppers in my garage that turned out pretty awesome...detailed designs, metal flake, multiple layers/colors... What it is beyond is the customer's budget, the already quoted price, the time frame, and the...

I've searched and searched and I'm just not finding definitive answers... We're refacing an existing un-lit monument sign by screwing 3mm OmegaBond panels to both sides of the box. Each side is approximately 72.5" wide by 98.25" high, so each face will consist of two panels butted up to each...

HOLY COW!! Thanks so much for the super in-depth reply! I'm going to go down your list and check everything...once I actually have some free time! I know my spitting pad isn't in the best of shape and I've been meaning to replace that for some time now, so I'll just replace that with some...

I commonly print 720x720, 8 pass, Bi-directional. I've had this issue with greens, oranges, AND purples, blues... I just printed this orange 4x8 again and it actually starts out with the correct orange, by the middle it's printing a noticeably lighter shade, then it starts to darken again...

HELP!!! Our GS6000 has some serious color consistency problems. For example, I'm currently printing a 4x8 with a solid orange background--it starts out the correct shade of orange, but the color is gradually shifting as it's printing and by the end of the print it's a completely different...
