I think i know what the problem might be.... CP Manager, which is the program that communicates with the printer, wont be able to update printer setting properly. CP Manager enables the operator to set all maintenance, materials, and calibration settings from your desktop. I sure hope the...

Let us know if it works. I would like to give it a try with our new M-64 also.

Take up spool on my M64 is perfect We are running a 600 piece double sided banner order on our new Seiko M64. The take-up spool is absolutely flawless! For both the first and the second side with no wandering what soever. We are printing the first side 54"x115' on super smooth 15 ounce double...

Love My Seiko M-64 I bought the new Seiko M-64 about 3 months ago. Holy cow. It's a fast production machine. We are in the middle of printing 600 double sided banners and prints them near perfectly without a fuss. The take up system rolls them perfectly both on the front side and the back side...

mimaki suv I was in the Los Angeles NBM show last weekend. Mimaki was showing some printers and a new flatbed router/cutter. I was talking to one of their reps and he talked about the new SUV unit. It sounded really cool. He mentioned that the inks wont scratch or fade as fast as all of the...

Hey everyone. I've been in the sign making business forever and i am already on my 6th large format printer. I am about to buy a new 63" solvent machine and i need one with an ink set that will last unlaminated the longest time outdoors possible. I will be sending most of the prints out to the...

DoubleDown: The Oce 250GT is 5 years old but with very low hours. It has not been used as a high production machine. It will produce 4 to 5 boards an hour depending on the quality mode that is selected. You said that you use the "harder ink set". I think that is the 255 ink. I know that the...

I'm in the market for a used machine. I screwed up 4 years ago when i bought a Colorspan 5465 and i want to trade up to a solid, quality used machine of which i have found several. The Colorspan was a first generation machine with lots of problems. I know that Oce 350GT is a good machine...

Yesterday i bought a slightly used Oce 250gt with the roll option installed. It's due to be installed in 2 weeks. It should be interesting to see how well it works with 7' wide materiel. I was told the cheap banner materiel from china wont work because it ripples. Hopefully Ultraflex banner...

Sean, thanks for the info. I'm pretty close to making a decision on a printer. The Q series prints pretty nice but i am still concerned with the speed. How many sheets of 4x8 CHEAP coro will your 8 head machine run per hour? We all have customers that need the cheap stuff. Also, i just found a...

Why are you changing from the Ricoh heads? I am considering the purchase of a CET machine but i am unsure which configuration is best for the signage market. The Spectra heads are blaziing fast while the ricoh heads print better quality, but much slower. Did you have issues with the ricoh's?

We found an easy solution We were having problems with most every materiel we printed on with our GS6000. Vinyl, banners and paper would always have occasional head strikes. We finally figured out how to eliminate the problem. We use 3/16" foam core cut into 3/4" x 5" strips and use them to...

The gs6000 has a glitch in its firmware. You need to restart onyx, restart the printer and than.......Ron a nozzle check on your gs6000. That will fix the problem and you will be able to print.

Timely Post! My production manager just quit and i have to hire a new person immediately. I put an add in Craigslist yesterday and only one or two has applied at the wage of "$12 per hour or more depending on capabilities" I thought i would get flooded by now.

I got a demo of signvox yesterday WOW! I got a 1 hour demo from Rao at Signvox yesterday. It's NICE! I'll be signing up in a few days.

They carry the materiel, but they don't have enough of it to complete the job in time. Thanks though.

Hi everyone, i have a customer who needs 100 3x6 fluorescent green 3x6 banners and none of my current suppliers carry that materiel. Does anyone know of anyone? Preferably on the west coast. I am going to print black on these and sew them afterwards so it needs to be on a roll. Thanks!

Once you open the box...make sure you don't leave the ink bag exposed to too much light, it may cure the ink and clog up the filters or worse.

I have a colorspan/hp uv flatbed. Denatured alcohol lifts the ink off without a hitch.....it's messy though. I could'nt imagine cleaning 75 boards though.

Downsize the file in photoshop Open the file in photoshop. You can resample the image to 100 dpi at final size cmyk and it will print perfectly. We do this to almost all banners that are sent to us. We convert all pdf's, psd's, eps, ai and whatever else comes in and make them into a 100 dpi jpg...
