  1. Latex 360 Maintence cartige

    As been said, you can cheat a lot of things on printers but this one is not recommended to try, if it's out, you replace it. There's kind of a "rag" in it that rolls just one way. I guess it could cause issues with motors and cogs etc. (if you can get it to keep using the old cartridge) if the...
  2. Help me cut thick stuff

    Can't agree more with autoexebat, we struggled with the same material on Summa S and tried everything. Luckily it was a deal where the customer supplied material on his cost, otherwise I'd bee totally broke by now. Since we got the Summa F flatbed things has been cutting like a dream so sorry to...
  3. Question I want to get into sublimation printing

    We have a Epson SC-F500 and it does not clog at all, that was important for us when we got it that it could sit and not destroy heads as the old Epsons did. This machine is a very good entry level machine that is fast, well built, processes roll and sheet paper and is easy to use. The ink cost...
  4. HP 365 colors have gone to #$&^(#@

    Do you have automatic firmware updates? If the firmware updates it can in some cases (at least this was the case with some versions ago) cause you to have to recreate profiles or uninstall/re-install media profiles. A color calibration did not resolve the issue. Will give you weird issues like...
  5. Need Help Versacamm 640i

    Ouch! It is never good to leave these without power if not flushed correctly. You can try a head soak (search this forum) but there is a chance you need a new printhead and some more parts. Hope someone else can give better advice.
  6. Question Epson 7800 Fast Jumbo 2 convert to UV

    If you have a lot of spare time and not need the printer to be working again I'd say go for it. But it will be an expensive pain to get right inks, lines, pumps, heads, filters, lamps and so on. Then issues with electronics and drivers/RIP:s etc. If you somehow get it to work then you'd probably...
  7. Need Help Roland SP300i Manual Cleaning

    Is your right cover now open as well? Check that it is in place and do not open any cover before selecting Cleaning in the menu and then follow the instructions. If no go, switch off main power from the main switch, not just the front power button, wait 10-15 seconds and restart and try the...
  8. About ricoh SG 3110DN

    If the test print is ok from the printer then the hardware works correctly. Then you need to check settings such as what color profile are you printing with, do you have the correct drivers installed, is the settings in the printer driver correct and is the settings in your design program...
  9. About ricoh SG 3110DN

    Have you tried to sublimate yet? The colors on the printout on paper is often very off to what it's going to look when finished sublimated.
  10. RF640 - Nozzle Check (Test Print) Serious trouble

    Just a long shot; is the choke valve in correct position (the RF640 does have a choke valve, doesn't it?)? If you've used that, if not disregard this post.
  11. Latex problems

    Pastel colors are a bit difficult on the latex in my opinion, you need to go high pass, at least 16 or higher or so and use material suitable for latex. Do an image quality optimization before printing. Good luck!
  12. Zund / Oce Procut VS Summa flatbed cnc

    We run the Summa F and I'd say its great value for money if you do mostly cutting and roll materials etc. Your main focus seem to be routing sheets and then I'd look at the Zund if that has a more sturdy router, just as balstestrat said. But if you're on a budget and looking for a machine that...
  13. Best Printer out there?

    How wide does it need to be, do you use the full 76 inch wide or can you manage with a 64"? In that case Epson and HP has some nice new models right now, Epson SureColor F9470H is around 21k. If you need bigger they have the beast F10070 but then we are talking close to 90k. It churns out up to...
  14. Discussion What is different?

    Sitting at a gas station drinking morning tea I see hundreds of products from this industry, signs, labels, posters, stands... When I go out I see lighted signs, regular signs, pylons, cars with branding. Even with the current situation even if you only sit at home ordering takeaway or home...
  15. APS error 23:10, where's the leak?

    So an update to this, I got new APS pumps from the US and it was a very easy swap if you are somewhat confident with ripping off the covers and using a screwdriver. Took about 30-40 minutes since I already had the left cover off. Just make sure the hoses and connectors gets right. The ISS...
  16. APS error 23:10, where's the leak?

    So, checked all air connectors once more, also on the other side of machine. Cut off the tubes one some of the fittings to get a fresh and tight seal but no improvement - throws 23:10 at startup and pumps running long and often. I get the machine up to idle and timed the time between the pumps...
  17. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Sounds like you are getting the right tools at least to start with, I think you will be able to get a lot done with that setup. No, I didn't get casters for the Summa but maybe it is a good idea if the frame is sturdy enough to just be supported by wheels? Thanks jerry369 for the tip about...
  18. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    We use the double edge cutout knife for most cutout jobs (95%). You can cut thinner plastic sheet substrates with that also but it dulls the blade so we usually change to the Heavy Duty cutout knife for rigids. The kiss cut knife is perfect for very thick laminates such as Substance motocross...
  19. APS error 23:10, where's the leak?

    Thanks greysquirrel, I'll have another round with the tubes and see what I can find. I've not checked the end of the clear hose that goes along the backside of the printer, does that one go up to the carriage maybe?
  20. APS error 23:10, where's the leak?

    I have a HP latex 330 that is giving me 23:10 APS error. The pumps runs more than they should (buzzing longer and more often) but I cannot find any leaks on the air or ink system, no pinched lines and everything seems fine inside. I am thinking of replacing the APS pumps and those lines first...
