  1. Flexi not sending Printed Contour cut..

    I always just open production manager and add the files to it and then print or cut etc. Make sure your default settings are not for print only. Not sure if going through Flexi first will over ride the settings in production manager or not. Just to confirm what you are saying: When you...
  2. Profile Problem/Question?

    All a profile is doing is telling the printer the amount of each color to put down to match to that media, for not only ink limits(how much ink to put down before it bleeds), but propper color. That profile is made for that one set of inks and for that one media and for that print quality...
  3. Printing Issue

    Can't tell in the picture but did the test print show the same lines problem? What is the red blocks? Just a file you print or is that part of the test print? If it's not in the test print then look at the encoder strip.
  4. Giclee printing... Where to begin

    Looks like the print heads are on the back side ( not like our typical print heads pointing down). Those sit vertical. I guess gravity does not have any effect on the spray. So the paper runs straight down as the heads pass in front, but again print toward the back side of the printer.
  5. Printing Issue

    First thing is to do like you did, check the heads for lint or a hair. Next check the cutter head as a hair can get caught on the blade and drag over the print. If it does not look like a streak from something dragging then look at the encodor strip for dust or some stuff on it. Also blow out...
  6. Is the X-Rite i1Xtreme right for me?

    I have the Eyeone Extreme and yes you should be able to do all you need to make your own profiles. You can use its own test charts to print and then read to make a profile but Flexi has ink limit and others built in so that you can use the Eye one with it and make profiles from there. Just...
  7. DX2 print head for Roland Cj-500

    The reason they have a black and a color is for the 4 color printers. They have a single black and then a color (3 nibs). We have 6 colors so we just use two color heads. Not sure why Roland needed to list a left and right.
  8. accidentally selected "pump up" on versacamm

    I had tried to turn off the machine, pause it etc. and nothing else worked. On the older Rolands this works. I just unplugged the pump lines from the capping station and turned the printer back on and let the pump run for the time period it needed to pump. After that the pump up stoped and...
  9. DX2 print head for Roland Cj-500

    CJ uses the 5 digit (example 16216) and you will notice some you can't change. It jumps to the next number. You really only change 2 or 3 of them (not sure off hand without entering into the service mode) Also you don't have to worry about L or R as they are the same heads. The head rank is...
  10. Still searching for the a printer near me

    Just seen crack..... is it too late to delete my post.
  11. Still searching for the a printer near me

    The CJ 500 holds 54" media and smaller. Once you get it you will be able to see where the feed rollers are and then depending on how tight to the edge you want to place them on the media, you should have about 53" of print area but less if you need crop marks printed, for the laminate/cut route...
  12. Customer Humor

    What did his boss say on the phone? You could have sent along some "this side up" stickers for them to apply to the mask so they could keep them in order. I like to joke around with my customers too and some times they just don't get it.......
  13. Probably never heard of Signs101...

    Now.... if you had been wearing a blue shirt, pointing to your arm pit with your left hand, and also had "Flame" on your name tag...... Things may have been different.
  14. The power of the brain (who needs to spell)

    The bad part is I understand what you said. I guess if you plan on a sign for someone don't just spell one word wrong, do em all wrong. One wrong and they will call you on it. Do them all wrong and you won't hear a word.....

  16. First cartoon from my new tablet

    So that $37 one is working...... what a steal. I did end up getting the Inturos 4 med and love it. They are a lot of help. Can't believe yours even worked for that price. Good find.
  17. Best Way to Clean roland sc500 Print head nozzles

    Lets make sure first if it is the heads. Get a syringe and attach a small 3 inch or so length to it with the tube the pump uses. While printer is off, move the heads off the capping station. Remove the pump tube from the capping station. Attach the syringe tube to that captop and set the...
  18. 80-year-old lady

    I think that was the same old lady that went to the Doctor with a gas problem. She said she farted a lot but they did not smell or make any noise. The Doctor just chuckled and said take these and handed her some pills. 2 week later she came back for a checkup and the Doctor asked how...
  19. So what does a bad wiper do?

    Again these are just my thoughts, but if right after the wiper does a clean and you can look under the heads with a flashlight and if you see any streaks of ink lines on the head then the wiper is not cleaning it propper. This could also be build up of ink on the edges of the head lifting the...
  20. So what does a bad wiper do?

    I tend to clean mine every time it wipes the heads and gets ink on it. So mine stays quite clean and never gets dried up ink on it. If you ever get a nick in the top edge that would be a reason to replace, or if the wiper looses the stiffness in it and does not press against the head evenly or...
