Actually, the most reliable connection will be the simplest. There is no need for a router. If you have a good cable, set your printer IP to something totally different than your local area network. Use something like 10.10.10.10, with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 and no gateway or 0.0.0.0 for...

Banner will always buckle more easily than a paper/vinyl sandwich. You can tell that by holding to pieces in your hand. There are generally 2 things that will cause the buckling - #1 is heat, i generally tell people to turn it down 5 degrees C and this usually stops it. The second would be...

When you don't install a floor graphic according to the manufacturer's instructions, you've only got yourself to blame. And if a fall happens because someone trips over this, the liability will fall all on you. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Don't add to it and don't...

Blown pixels and debris that is stuck on the head will most often leave a horizontal unprinted line. Random unprinted surfaces are usually dirty vinyl or platen and could also be caused by poor electrical contacts as mentioned above. The surface needs to be clean and smooth for the foil to...

That will call up the cut condition (Graphtec's terms) from the plotter before it sends that job. So if you set up conditions for normal vinyl, laminated vinyl, reflective vinyl, perf cut, etc. you can use the right settings in the plotter for the job.

I doubt that you'll see improvements to an old version of their RIP. Their on V21 now. I would look into Cut Master 4 and see if there is a workflow there to meet your needs. Cutting master allows for reverse color reg marks. Then you can print from any RIP and cut out of cutting master. I've...

Have you tried another known good image? Does it do the same thing?

Looks like the calibrations are off to me, but I don't know the Ricoh printers at all.

Which ink series? or what printer?

I'd start with a new maintenance station (PN DG-41000)and wiper (PN DG-41001). You may need dampers (DG-41543) too, but I usually go with the maintenance station first. Good Luck

Can you post a picture of the test print from Versaworks as well?

Looks like the heads are in there pretty straight. The black/yellow head may need to be reseated, but I'd have to look at the Bias test print before I did that - not something you can print in user mode. I think that the Horizontal calibration is off. This registers the two heads so that...

You can certainly take anyone's recommendations into account, but don't buy anything till you get to see it in action printing your files. As mentioned, get to know your dealer and ask about support metrics and if possible, meet with the tech who will be helping you out. Make sure that you...

the BN20 doesn't support 440 ml cartridges

Can you post a nozzle test print? It's possible that the heads are not aligned properly or not seated fully. A nozzle test would give us a better picture of that.

I got an email yesterday saying it should be compatible in about 30 days.

Sometimes one bad chip will freak out the printer. If you have another set, try them. If that fails or you can't put a new set in, get a peck report to a dealer to look at it. There is a sub board that all of the ink cartridges readers plug into. It could have gone bad or a cable between it...

If reseating cables doesn't help, Then I'd start at the power supply - the fan runs on 120v, so it really isn't "processed" by the power supply. Check the voltage at the cable coming into the main board - most likely you'll not find any. Good luck

When you say it "Starts Up" what do you mean? Does the fan turn on? Does the screen display any text? Do the buttons respond?

Did you get print samples off of a 1641 before you bought this - or preferably watch one print your file(s). If so, you should hold the tech/sales team to delivering what they showed you before you purchased the printer. If not (shame on you) the print you posted definitely has some problems A...
