  1. Roland SC-540 print/cut problems

    Running Flexi 8.1 and when I send an .eps file with a cut line it won't print the print/cut marks and only prints one copy no matter how many I tell the RIP to print....Only seems to happen with files that have clipping masks. :help
  2. Contour cut problems

    On my SC-540 I've found that the initial loading of the sheet is crucial. I use the edge of the printer to make sure the first two marks are lined up with it as close as possible, then do my auto align. It also helps if you're not trying to load a massive sheet of graphics into it...6 or 8 feet...
  3. Printing onto MDF

    Particle board coated on one side with some kind of black laminate. We refer to that here as "MDF". Is this correct? So basically I'm looking at sanding and priming as if I was going to paint it? Nice...But I guess it's cheaper than "adhesion promoter". Thanks, guys...
  4. Printing onto MDF

    I'm trying to print onto black pegboard/MDF on an Oce Arizona 360XT. The ink doesn't want to stick. I've cleaned the board well (50/50 mix Simple Green & water followed by denatured alcohol). Turned the leading lamp off and set the trailing lamp at 7. We're printing three layers of ink. The ink...
  5. Onyx X10 won't run Roland printer

    We just recently switched over to Onyx X10 ProductionHouse RIP software for all our printers and I can't get it to run a Roland SolJet Pro II SC-540. It was up and running for a little while (slowly..then jobs would quit in the middle, now it won't run at all, and the cutter never worked.) Can't...
  6. Newbie in SoCal

    Greetings. I've been lurking mostly, posting sometimes and have recieved some excellent help and support from a lot of folks here but have never formally introduced myself so here goes. My name is Lon and I work for Victory Display and Store Fixtures based in Gardena, CA. We do a little bit of...
  7. Mutoh VJ-1604 Error Code

    I'm gonna guess you mean "bearing":smile: No, not as far as I can tell. It always happens when the carriage moves past the same spot...And like I said, I don't hear the noise when I move the carriage by hand.
  8. Mutoh VJ-1604 Error Code

    PF encoder has been cleaned multiple times. Bearing raceways are clean and greased properly. Is there any way I can get my hands on a maintainence manual and do these things on my own? My Mutoh tech is notoriously difficult to get ahold of.
  9. Mutoh VJ-1604 Error Code

    Timing fence (encoder/timing strip/whatever) has been cleaned throughly. I hear a grinding noise when the carriage gets about a third of the way through the return pass during printing. Noise not heard when moving carriage by hand and I don't feel any undue resistance..I almost never use reverse...
  10. Mutoh VJ-1604 Error Code

    Happens consistenty with 60". I can load and print on 54" and it will only do it so often (like when I do a nozzle check). I just printed a bunch of stuff this morning on 54" vinyl with no issues. Loaded up some 60" this afternoon...no go.
  11. Mutoh VJ-1604 Error Code

    No...Carriage makes first pass and simply coasts to a stop before it can finish the return pass: *beep! beep! beep! beep!* then error code.
  12. Mutoh VJ-1604 Error Code

    When I try to print on 60" media the carriage makes it's first pass and gets about a third of the way through the second pass, makes a slight rumbling noise and quits. Drops this error code:[E074Err CR2 Current]. From my searches within this forum I've found that this is a common catch all code...
  13. Oce Arizona 360

    Just got back from the ISA show in Vegas this past weekend and the owners of the company are about to purchase one of these. I'm just curious if anyone here has had any experience with one (or it's Fuji equivalent). Hate it? Love it? How's customer support? Reliability? What can I expect?
  14. Strong odors from printers

    Our shop has 3 printers (Mutoh VJ-1604, ColorSpan UVR72, Roland SC-540) which are often running simutaneously. The area is fairly well ventilated with windows that open and 2 doors which see a lot of traffic (One leads out to our wearhouse, the other to outside.) but no exaust fans other than...
  15. Color Matching

    I'm sure this has been talked about here many times, but....How do you guys do it? Generally, to save time, materials and my sanity I'll print out a Pantone color chart and an RGB color chart (clean, sharp, vector-based .eps files I found on the web.) on whatever printer will be used and try to...
  16. VJ-1604 won't hold PF adjustment

    What can I clean it with? Is alcohol safe? ...Just scrolled up and answered my own question....Sorry.
  17. VJ-1604 won't hold PF adjustment

    Setup> PF Adjust> Initial Print> ...read print, measure marks. Initial Change> ...enter measurement. Confirm Print> ...measure marks again. As per the User Manual. Am I doing something wrong?
  18. VJ-1604 won't hold PF adjustment

    Thought of that...but I can go through the PF adjustment procedure and get it to read 300mm, but after a job is finished I'll check it and it's out of whack again...Maybe the mechanical takeup is pulling on it?
  19. VJ-1604 won't hold PF adjustment

    I'm CONSTANTLY having to adjust the print feed..even when switching out rolls of the same material. Paper, vinyl, banner..doesn't matter. PF Motor was just replaced. Belt tension seems okay. Performed micro adjustment. Problem persists. I get banding and can't print tiled images because the...
  20. If you were to move...
