  1. Vinyl Roll Storage

    We also have the bent wire type you posted a photo of... and we have zero rolls on them because they are utter garbage. Yes, vinyl will domino when it's bumped. The YelloTools ones are 1000x better as the center piece of wood goes further into the roll and isn't tapered like the wire ones are.
  2. VG-540 Colors testprint are not aligned properly

    2nd head in group B (lk/M) looks like it has been moved/rotated slightly and is now misaligned. Look at the gap from top to bottom compared to the head next to it. It's tapered, where at the other two gaps are consistent and evenly spaced. Haven't owned a Roland in several years, so not sure how...
  3. Need Help Printhead for OCE 350GT - trouble recovering nozzles - replacement part

    You can try a short flush from the control panel "Tools & Utilities" menu: It can occasionally get a blocked nozzle going again. I'd suggest doing this with a full bag installed. It doesn't use a massive amount of ink, but you don't want it emptying the bag during the procedure.
  4. (NEW) Canon Arizona 135GT

    About time... the 318 was ancient but was still up there for quality. All of the upgrades sound great.
  5. IPA is damaging our coroplast -- printing shows it and it's BAD

    Keep wiping until there is no more IPA left on the sheet. We used to give ours a quick wipe down before print, leaving wet patches on the sheet. We've changed our methods and will keep wiping until there is no residue left and prints are much better with very little ghosting.
  6. CLEAR OR OPAL PERSPEX?

    We use opal for all light boxes. It softens the light to get a more even look across the whole panel. Clear can lead to hot spots across the image where the tubes/LEDs are.
  7. Need Onyx Productionhouse 7.3.2

    The Z6100 isn't latex... it's an aqueous photo printer. It won't print on solvent/latex vinyls and lifespan for outdoor prints on paper will be very limited.
  8. Need Onyx Productionhouse 7.3.2

    You'll also have the issue of being stuck with whatever drivers were available at the time (they came on the install CD back then) so you'll be stuck using only printers from the same era and nothing newer.
  9. Question Vinyl on Perf

    If you have no control over the posters, I'd probably try to convince them to internally mount the perforated material... who knows what their franchise will send out.
  10. Advise on horrible customer

    Haha, we may or may not have sold a roll of labels that resembled the above in the past...
  11. Wide Format Printer Reviews

    Even reviews on here will be biased... owners usually want to believe that the equipment they bought is superior to whatever they don't own. You'll need to read a lot and weigh it all up according to your circumstances. I strongly suggest you approaching manufacturers/resellers with your own...
  12. Windows 11

    Updates can often break old software which may no longer have support for newer versions of Windows. Or another example... Windows 10 21H1 broke my Epson accounting software for no reason whatsoever. The program runs fine, but will no longer gather any information from the printer after a job is...
  13. New Guy Epson S80600 color issues

    Just sent you a link to a profile you can test with. Check PMs.
  14. Need Help Engineering grade reflective vinyl electrical conductivity?

    Not 100% sure about 3290, but 680CR is definitely conductive. I just pulled out a roll and poked the probes of a multimeter into a corner and got an actual stable reading of ohms (approx. 100 over distance of 1/4"). The reflective part of the material is certainly glass, however there's a sheet...
  15. Safe temperatures for storing sign equipment ***

    Humid here... right on the coast (just below Sydney). You nearly need to swim thru it when walking down the street.
  16. Safe temperatures for storing sign equipment ***

    Me too (apart from the Norwegian). Unfortunately our new norm over here for summer is 100f+ for much of the time :mad:
  17. Onyx 21.1 announced

    Which Fotoba marks are you having issues with Pauly? I know at least one issue was resolved in 21.0.1 where if you tried to add space above a job the marks would go in the wrong place.
  18. Vinyl Roll Storage

    YelloTools make a range of storage options. Here are their wall ones: https://www.yellotools.com/shop/Storage/Wall:::76_77.html?language=en We use their floor ones though. We can store 9 rolls in less than 2' x 2' of space.
  19. Onyx 21.1 announced

  20. Getting weird outline on mouth, eyes, hands, skin on banner

    Looks like ink pooling... density is likely too high. Try another profile, reduce ink loading or try another material. We used to get this on a certain brand of canvas material. Only thing that fixed it in that instance was using something else entirely.
