HAD a spectro -- 90s vintage from Scitek. I want to get an xRite X1 -- or 1X...whatever they're calling it now :-)

It's been almost 20 years since I trained in calibration and color management. Things haven't changed that much, but I'm chasing my tail trying to match colors and GUESS alot. Is there a book, or a guide -- a training DVD that uses Roland and HP industrial printers? I'd REALLY like to take a...

I'm asking here since Colex charges thru the nose just to call and ask them about this... There's nothing in the way of the Sharpcut's laser sensors, they're lit up just fine but this dang thing will not release inside of WinCNC. Won't budge no matter what I've done so far. The only thing I'm...

I've lost HOURS of uptime because of this stupid problem. So frustrating. Now it's worse -- nothing we do will make it release the safety. Have to WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT for that #$%@ red light to change to green. Then pray the vibrations and motions of the gantry won't set it off AGAIN. I hate...

We're having a hard time getting our black ink profiler to stay on -- at first I thought it was just the new profiler (sometimes we get a dud, and have to order a working replacement) but this morning, both the new and the old one it's replacing quit showing up once plugged in. It shows the...

That's a wonderful idea! Lam will pull UV ink off of anything it seems--

Aside from using masking tape to 'snap' buildup off, or scraping off dried ink with straight razorblades, what other ways do ya'll employ to clean off the input belt? I've tried soaking UV ink remover but it won't budge, and ruined the paint on the metal body. Alcohol can cut thru and lube a...

Not yet. We have a tech coming out. :-(

Im really concerned, as the FB700 Has been a quiet running monster. I’ve cleaned the rails, carriage wheels, everything I know, and lubed with oil rag, etc. as spelled out in the manuals. It seems to emanate from the carriage—the noise ‘follows’ it back and forth. YT link here: Noisy HP FB700...

We’re on Caldera 8, and the cutting module Doesn’t support our xr-640. I’d kill for a Colex KissCut tool but that thing costs a fortune

Sometimes we have to move a job from the Roland to our HP700 UV printer. (banding issues, takes too long, etc) Is there a way to convert ripped files from Versa to Postscript? So I can push that file into our HP's rip? I know the location of the ripped VW files, but the format seems to be...

Good idea taping the reflectors to the emitters!

Everything triggers them and they won't let release after realigning them. I waste a lot of time fiddling with and waiting up to 10 minutes for them to finally flash green in WinCNC. Brings us to a halt every time. Is there a way to remove them? Trick the table into thinking there's nothing in...

POwer management?!? For Ethernet? I'll check it out. That might be it!

This is a rare thing, but when it does happen it's ALWAYS when we absolutely don't want it to. We have a direct ethernet cable plugged into the FB700 from our iMac. The IP address is static, not dynamically assigned. No other devices or services use anything CLOSE to the subnet it's using. This...

Waiting on a new o-ring for the yellow reservoir. Everybody we've talked to keeps saying that's what's wrong. We shall see. FedEx can't get here fast enough. Got a full two days backed up on me now :-(

Yep, all three yellow ink boxes/bags are good. No solids or squishy blobs in them. Fresh ink, too.

Trying to get these yellow print heads to load with ink and print. Figures this happens right before a massive order with lots of yellow. :) Phone support walked us thru replacing the thermistor/reservoir and empty/fill, empty/fill, etc. Still no output from the yellow heads. Here's the weird...

The Job list pane rarely displays the graphics of the job anymore. Not sure why but it started not showing it about six months ago. Resizing, restarting, re-importing etc doesn't make it appear. What gives?

We spent thousands on this thing and white won't print better than a milk stain. Now we're stuck weeding this nightmare out of white cast... Geez, why do they make these things so freakin impossible to use without spending MONTHS on the phone deciphering their gibbering Pakistani support? Just...
