It is a weird one. It should work just like white vinyl as long as it seems to be printing nice and crisp and looks like it does on your white vinyl. I'd try lowering the sensor setting. Maybe the clear is glossier and it's getting too intense of a reading. Also, try cleaning the sensor with a...

Has it worked before or is this the first time you're attempting the print/cut with registration marks?

Does the clear vinyl have a white backer? If it does, it should work just like white vinyl. If it's completely clear, you might try to put something white behind it while it's reading the marks. Maybe slap a piece of white vinyl behind each mark.

Try running as administrator and in compatibility mode. . . . . if Windows 11 still has those things.

It means the board isn't seeing 42 volts from the power supply. Usually it's the main board being damaged or a bad head/head cable causing the issue. If you know how to test the power supply, I would check to make sure it's putting out 42 volts but don't do it unless you know how. In my...

When you do the limit position, make sure the head is locking and not just in the home area. You have to push it to the right very slowly until it clicks and then stop. If you push too far right, it will unlock. Usually I hear the click and push it to the left to confirm it's locked before...

I assume this is solvent? Try turning up the heat. Also, try to use a profile that is created for the amount of passes you want. If you're using the same profile and just adjusting the pass setting, it can mess up the ink limits and put too much ink down.

Looks like you're working on an SP300 or similar. You're fine to just leave it capped and don't need to clear the system out. If solution didn't come through after doing the soak, I'd say there is a clog for sure. Usually it's in the little y connector but it could be anywhere in the tubes below...

Go into the regular menu and scroll down further than you would normally and you will see all the # menus. Make sure you're booting while holding function and remote on some machines or func1 and func3 on others.

Have you tried an air purge yet? I usually start there with patchy printing. Are you getting any errors?

I agree. I would also flush the pump with a syringe and cleaning solution to make sure it's not clogged.

If you have an OS newer than windows Vista, the OS figures out the connection for you and you can use either.

Plasticizer is an ingredient in the vinyl that helps keep it stretchy and supple. If the material is old or has been exposed to high heat, the plasticizer comes out of the vinyl and contaminates the surface.

A single channel on a DX7 print head has 180 nozzles. A single pass on that head achieves a resolution of 180x180. 2 pass 360x360, 4 pass 720x720. So the head naturally prints 720 in 4 passes. When you up it to 8 pass and keep the 720 resolution, in order to keep it at 720 the head fires fewer...

Filling out the PCI compliance paperwork is one of the most frustrating things to do. And at the end of the day it does literally nothing to enhance security because there is no enforcement at all!

They look like Kroy acrylic sign frames.

Technically it should be exactly the same. Say your profile is 720 x 720 and you go from 4 to 12 pass. They both print 720 x 720 but they just divide it into 4 and 12 passes respectively. Higher passes make it so banding is less apparent at the cost of speed. I usually prefer to make sure the...

It requires a complete ink system flush and then you just need to re-route the ink lines behind the cartridges for the 8 color setup, change a couple parameters to tell the printer it's new ink setup, and then fill it up. Since you're not using white or metallic, the odds of it succeeding...

Does Summa have a stand alone software or an Illustrator/Corel plug-in? Most plotters I work on have one or both of those things and allows you to print with any RIP and cut with the Summa software. But I understand why you would want the ease of just using one software.

Normally when a single channel doesn't fire it's almost always an ink flow issue but since you received the 085 error, it could be electrical. The 085 error is a head heat error. The head is heating up and it's usually because there is a short in the circuit heating it up. The machine tries to...
