Is it possible for profiling software to build in an expiration date? Say a profile is done on Jan 1 2013, can it set the profile to expire on Jan 1 2014 requiring a new profiling be done? Nothing dramatic, like no print output, but maybe shift the output noticeably. Just a new conspiracy...

Looks like too much heat on the platens for it to do that. I use Curvalam for laminating. Installing perf without lam is fairly easy, but it is not that much harder to learn to install laminated perf correctly.

If your outsource requires a minimum run, then why don't you? Going to the expense of gaining the equipment, maintaining the equipment, and operating the equipment only for the purpose of making smaller runs, and smaller profits doesn't add up in my mind.

Could be any number of issues, dust, bad vinyl, or static electricity. Static is a common Mutoh problem most people don't even know about or consider.

I hope its not the mainboard! I might just shut it down, uncover everything and blow out the dust and then reseat all the connectors. Sometimes that fixes ghost in the machine issues.

Tech manual, and everything was set up and running. The machine went to read the crop marks, but instead of reading the front 2 marks, it went from the base crop mark to the rear crop mark, started beeping and threw up that error code. I wrote down the code, did a complete shut down and...

If I fired a supplier every time an order got messed up, there wouldn't be anyone left for me to buy from! :ROFLMAO:

premade - Dick Blick Michaels Hobby Lobby Any local art supply store. China Or make them yourself.

I learned that lesson a long time ago, always ask what they mean when they say "Set". Some people are on their own mathematical standards. Closing at 3:00 today, just like every Friday.

My XC540 threw up an error code that isnt in the "book" Internal error 1822326 This happened when the printer could not find cropmarks, havent had this error before.

It's only a matter of time before that stuff somebody else did bursts into flame!

Pat you really nailed what I was thinking but unable to express. Joe, I think that putting them together is going to be the approach I need to take. Overall, I'm still just a sign shop, but I am seeing the need to approach the idea of an Art Department in the vein of an Ad Agency. Thank you...

Did you check the subnet address as well as the IP address? If you have a crossover cable, connect the printer directly to the computer to rule out network equipment issues.

Just having a thought that is starting to come together and wondered what y'all might think. I have hired school trained graphic artists, some have had Fine Arts degrees, some have had Graphics Arts degrees. It seems that I get better creativity from the Fine Arts graduates vs. the Graphic Arts...

"hey, my friend sent me over to you, how much for a print about this big? (holds hands apart)" probably about 20 bucks. "My friend said you only charged him 16, why is it different for me?!?" Did your friend tell you I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die?

I would only buy a used one from a rental company that is giving a 30 day money back guarantee. Those things are too easy to turn into death traps by improper use and lack of maintenance.

For a sign shop, its a value added product. Find a good wholesaler and charge accordingly for art. The equipment is expensive, the process is not as easy as you think, and it takes a huge volume to turn a profit. Now if you are looking for a niche with biz cards, then find an old letterpress...

Underneath the head, pull the line from the capping station to the pump and pull the ink from there.

Change the capping station sponge, medium clean, test print. If that doesn't work then pull ink with a syringe.

Does it say vistaprint on the back? :rolleyes:
