  1. Shaking ink cartridges

    Sounds like a rather vigorous agitation to me with the amount of shakes per second. That being said, our machine will be 3 years old next month and we haven't missed any agitations. Just set up a calendar reminder for 9am every 3rd Monday and it gets done before anything starts production...
  2. Suggestions 54 or 64???

    The minute you buy a 54" you'll get a job that needs the 64. Always go as large as you can practically afford. Please read some reviews on the VG range of machines. Not a lot of friendly talk on here about people's experiences.
  3. ICC Profiling in Onyx tips

    Yes, this is exactly correct regarding ink density. We leave Media Setting Number to "Use Panel Setting". Leave ink limits at 400% in i1Profiler and don't linearize. This is done internally in the printer when you use Epson workflow.
  4. Roland Plotter Not Working with Onyx Thrive

    Not sure about the double cuts, but Onyx usually has the wrong port number by default for Roland machines when setting up. It's been ~7 years since I've had to set one up, but I do recall having that issue. If it's set to 9100, change it to 515 or vice versa.
  5. Vertical Lines on prints S40

    Is there any print on that vinyl? I'd be inclined to say bad media first up.
  6. Question Dried solvent Ink

    EcoSolMAX3 is GreenGuard Gold certified, so VOCs are extremely low. Still not sure how comfortable I'd be having them that close to food, but they are approved for use in hospitals, schools and other sensitive areas.
  7. Step by step guide - Onyx New media and Profiles

    I also profile using i1Profiler so it could also have been me. You can compare gamut plots in i1Profiler during the last step of the process in full 3D. I use it to compare my i1 plots to Onyx generated profiles.
  8. Question ONYX RIP

    Shiraz is a more budget conscious RIP. Haven't used it though.
  9. Step by step guide - Onyx New media and Profiles

    If you choose Epson workflow, you can cut out all of the ink linearization and limit steps. 99% of our media is profiled using that workflow as it's much easier than the Onyx version. We only use the Onyx workflow if we need to do something very specific (eg. deleting Red and Orange ink from the...
  10. Fast printer

    DigiTech TruFire is one of the quickest machines I've seen mentioned on here:
  11. ICC Profiling in Onyx tips

    All sounds good so far... and yes, as Pauly said above these are CMYK based printers for the purposes of profiling.
  12. Epson launches first latex: SC-R5000

    Nearly double the price of the 80600... ouch. And the flatbed, very slow compared to the competition :(
  13. Vanguard Flatbed

    We do 5 layers of white when doing back splash prints for kitchens etc. If we could do 8 layters in 11 minutes, we would... but on our machine it'd probably take an hour per panel and not worth the time.
  14. S40600 Ink running Issue, watery stains

    Absolutely no problems printing to scale using the original file you have provided me with. I will send you back the file scaled correctly and ready for GamaPrint to tile. Import the file as is, and do not convert to another format.
  15. Question Roland RS 640

    Brand new cap tops definitely help in this situation if you don't have them already.
  16. S40600 Ink running Issue, watery stains

    Just looks like poor scaling to me. Would you be comfortable sending through your original vector file to have a look at?

  18. How often do you replace/upgrade your spectrophotometer?

    Re-certification was USD$380 back in March 2018 when we got our last quote.
  19. Operating System Not Configured to Run This Application....

    LFP doesn't use any part of Office. We have it installed on our RIP workstation that does not have any Office on it. It may need a Visual C++ redistributable however. Weirdly we were having issues with LFP last week complaining that it couldn't write new data into the database. An update to the...
  20. How often do you replace/upgrade your spectrophotometer?

    Since you have an X-Rite spectro, you can send it back to them for re-certification to bring it back into spec. Even the calibrators need calibration from time to time. Which version of the i1 do you have? I don't see enough difference between the 2 and 3 to justify an upgrade (larger aperture)...
