  1. To Laminate or not-window perf

    Dear 2CT, Theres your problem right there.. You allowed a customer to Dictate to you what he/she actually wanted! And delivered just that. Shame on you. When your clients started complaining about the fogging issue, the only acceptable professional course of action should have been for you to...
  2. Would I benefit by puttting in a SSD drive in my five year old computer?

    We do the same with the NAS backups of customer data in our data center, and on non-critical drives in our office(s). For critical disks We essentially make bootable "clone" backups. IN the event of a critical disk failure, It is a simple matter of powering down the sever, swapping out the...
  3. Would I benefit by puttting in a SSD drive in my five year old computer?

    Make sure you have your backup schedule firmly in place for your SSD's - they do have a way of failing almost instantly and often fail in a state where there is little to no chance of data recovery. (unlike a slowly failing Mechanical HDD, where you have a bit of warning before they go totally...
  4. Motorcross / MX Templates

    It was like pulling teeth though to get that out of him! - In Fact it was the potential buyer himself who had to "School" Mr Flame on the availability of his own (flame) templates! Pretty amusing. -t
  5. Motorcross / MX Templates

    Heyya Mosh, For Motorcycle/ATV graphics that I sell for permanent use I laminate with: Oracal 270 Oraguard/Stoneguard. For good adhesion to the poly plastic that all the ORV's are made of I print on Oracal 3105HT (High Tack). -t
  6. Problems Printing Black on Avery 1005EZ

    Hi OA, I have had black printing issues exactly like you show in your 1st and second photo. Printing on "inexpensive" generic glossy decal vinyl (I was using nazdar 2000 ink on my SC500). Basically the exact same issue as you.. I just got finished printing some Heavy Equipment decals on orajet...
  7. New Vinyl Requirments Coming

    Thanks - The pesky kitty has 7 toes on her massive front paws. (one of those hemmingway girls.) I'll wrap her in Air Release At least. And I definitely could do better in the cleaning department. I am a clutterer. As a side note - and utterly without sarcasm. I am in 100% agreement with you...
  8. New Vinyl Requirments Coming

    Geetings fellow Printsters! As a "home based" print shop, I can try to answer your question. Speaking solely for myself here: If you mean how am I going to handle protecting Johnny & Sally From the alleged toxic vapors emitting from the stacked vinyl? I am going to pay no attention to the...
  9. Dreaded network issues

    I don't think it is a hardware problem with the printer: what does ipconfig on the windows box show in the following: 1) do an ipconfig when production manager IS working (able to talk to printer) 2) do an ipconfig after it displays a write port error -
  10. Dreaded network issues

    Hello Tencity, the 169.254.x.x ip address you keep seeing is what windows does when it is unable to obtain an ip address either through WINS or DHCP. It is occurring because you are somehow losing your tcp/ip connection between your windows box and the router/DHCP Server (I'm assuming you have...
  11. Head Carriage hitting capping station harder?

    Hey Kentucky, Just double check that the capping station moves up and down *very* freely - I had a problem with mine, where ink & cleaner had worked its way down into the "hinge" section of the capping station, and it had become "gummy" and was inhibiting the free movement of the station when...
  12. roland sc500 fill ink not working

    Hi Ken, I sent off the ICC profiles I have been using with the jetbest ink.. the Oracal one is the profile I use for most projects, and just modify the ink limits & contrasts, etc.. with the different media(s). If you load a sheet of paper in your sc500, and simply hit the "Test Print" Button...

  15. How would you do this?

    You can Indeed do just that: Spray on Laminate (well it's actually UV protectant but you get the idea...) -t
  16. roland sc500 fill ink not working

    Hi Ken, If the heaters were done by Roland, I can not imagine It was done incorrectly. On My particular machine, the heating strips were done half-baked and were not even heating in the print area(s). I do not know for sure what kind of setup your machine has. Mine has a pre-heating strip...
  17. roland sc500 fill ink not working

    Hi Ken, I replied to your other post about the grainy prints.. What Kind of ink are you using?, and more importantly what temp(s) do you have your heaters set to?.. Those prints look almost identical to my "grainy" looking prints that were in reality "pooling".. due to too low of heater temps...
  18. Roland SC-500 Printer (Grainy)

    Hey Folks, When I first got my sc500 up and running I was having problems similar to what you are having. Weird looking grain, pooling, etc..I first started with flexi-10 - using the stock/basic ICC profiles that came with it. I had very little luck getting anything to print clearly (grainy)...
  19. Help Mosh with profiles

    Hey Mosh.. The only thing related to 3551 that turned up in a search of all my profiles was some Mimaki JV 3551 - maybe they will get you in the right direction, maybe they're useless as well? anyhow, I zipped em up and you can grab them at: http://ledyardmachine.com/3551.zip for the Versa...
  20. Help Mosh with profiles

    What printer are you using? - i'll be more than happy to dig through my flexi ICC's and see if they have anything you can use. -t
