It's pretty common for the larger shops. For Wasatch, you'll need an i1 spectrophotometer at minimum with the basic version of i1Profiler. Usually runs around $2k, half for the instrument and half for the software. There are documents posted on Wasatch's site for how to run through the process...

Roland originally sold a rebranded version of Wasatch before they developed VersaWorks in house. Really any RIP will work, but it just depends on your preference. I've always thought that the Onyx user interface is a nasty kludge. Profiling capabilities will cost you dearly, too. Profiles...

At my old company we got an Epson 7800 that had been hacked into a T-shirt printer by a mad Taiwanese engineer. He chopped the PF shaft short and reinstalled it into the machine with another encoder reader, so the Epson would drive the servo system normally and get the feedback it expected...

The problem with the ink in the waste bottle, among other issues mentioned above, is that there is clotted pigments, lint, fuzz, and other foreign gunk in there that you would NEVER want to put through a $1000+ print head. If you have access to a ink manufacturer-grade ink filtration system and...

E016 CPU errors, on all Mutoh printers, are basically the equivalent to a Windows blue screen. It just means that the firmware crashed. If you can always reproduce the error, then it's generally caused by hardware. If it pops up once in a blue moon, that's pretty normal.

I believe so. From Konica, anyway... unless you want to go into MEMS heads which are a whole other can of worms.

Well, for heavy ink laydown, a 35pL head should get you pretty good results at 360x720. Spectra made some of the most indestructible heads (the Nova 256 series had stainless nozzle plates) but since Fuji took over, they've become terribly expensive to replace. Konica heads are in use in almost...

If you don't get the combo exactly right, or your timing is off, it will give you that message. The combo is supposed to be a backwards S V, where you put the S in backward (down, right, left, up) and then do the V from right to left (right, down, left) but instead of releasing the keys when...

The JFX-1631 uses some form of Toshiba Tec industrial printhead. I'm not sure if those heads rely on a negative pressure (vacuum) system to keep the subtank ink supply stable, but if they do, then having too low of a negative pressure setting may cause the ink to leak from the heads.

As long as you have an extra hard drive, you can simply disconnect the hard drive with Windows installed, connect the new drive, and then do a stock install of Caldera Debian onto it. If you ever need to go back to Windows, just swap the cable to the old hard drive. (Obviously, any cable...

As long as the O-ring isn't too squashed/flattened/twisted, you should still be able to get a good seal with it. I found that they usually had to be replaced about every 3-6 or so damper changes, depending on how abused they were.

Whoa there! Mozilla isn't really based off Netscape any more than Chrome is based off of Opera. Mozilla was basically a Netscape project to bring their dated browser into the 21st century by completely rewriting it from scratch. Netscape then went belly-up, got rescued by AOL, and somehow the...

For all that is good and holy, don't even suggest that! Apple has no interest -- they use WebKit for Safari (a fork of the open-source KHTML) which is what Google then based Chrome on. Microsoft... well, I think Mozilla would refuse that deal even if Hell froze over. That would be the death of...

It comes with SEPIAX out of the box, profiles and rip software. Easy enough that an end user could do the setup by themselves. Not CMYKOG, but it runs CMYK and white is a possibility. No silver. I know it's a slightly different market... you can't fit it into a mall kiosk, but it's more...

At my previous job we had a few Xerox Phaser 8400 printers. When we got an OKI (the one we picked was the ProColor 930, which is a tabloid printer at the high end of their product line, about $10,000) the colors from it just completely blew the Xerox prints out of the water. Later on we started...

Pretty much any of their color printers, whichever one fits in your budget. The lowest I saw for their entry level model is about $286: Google product search link It runs up to 8.5" wide and up to 47" long (the Phaser only runs up to 14" long paper).

That's basically a Tektronix Phaser at heart... uses wax (crayon-like) ink that's melted onto the page. It produces relatively good image quality, if you stick to Xerox ink, but everything will have a waxy feel that's impossible to write on with a ballpoint pen. If it's in your price range I...

You can usually mitigate that issue (without replacing the rollers) by cleaning them with a lint-free cloth and rubbing alcohol.

For about the same price you can get a wider Epson-based 24" machine running outdoor-durable inks that actually are eco friendly (SEPIAX) rather than pretending to be like eco-solvents, at higher speed (15 sq.ft/hr) with a standalone cutter as part of the bundle. Great for printing and cutting...

Oh boy. I hope the parameter sheet that's saved inside the left cover is still current, then, because that means when the new board goes in everything's going to have to be manually entered. Not a job I'd suggest for a novice.
