just because those companies say they worked with 3M for a "special" vinyl doesn't mean they did. In the case of dbrand they just switched from di-noc to 1080/2080 for the Nintendo Switch. UV tends to shrink and leave cause air pockets under these materials, far better to print with solvent...

are you printing from a mac at all? I ran into an issue last summer with printing from a mac running windows, and the color of a previously printed file randomly shifted and nothing I did would bring it back. Switching to a Windows PC solved that problem.

looks pretty good. Those few missing nozzles would probably clear up with a cleaning.

Are you using a mac? I had a similar problem with greys turning brown, switched from a Mac running windows to a dedicated windows machine and it fixed the problem.

Mimaki and roland stay on unless you turn the main power off. Not sure if that's the case with epsons, but I was told by our installer that they should always stay powered on.

I've always left our S80 on, as I was told it won't turn itself on to clean. Our Mimaki and Rolands get shut off, they turn back on to do a cleaning. As for wiping the head, I've always been told to never touch the heads on any machine. This seems to be the only brand of machine that uses a...

I had that problem on my S80600 fairly often and I've started lowering the heat settings for the pre-heater and platen heater. In fact, I have the pre-heater turned off and it seems to eliminate almost all of the little strikes. It could also be static on the post-heat area causing the media...

How would the embedded profile change when it was pulled from the archive in onyx? Or why was the color different from the same file on mac vs windows, with the same settings? Same exact file pulled from the server. I had both computers running side by side to test, double checked that every...

Correct. Went from an iMac running windows to a dedicated PC.

I use Onyx, but the colors in the job editor looked correct. I can't say whether the CMYK values matched what I expected, but the image looked the same as the illustrator file. What came out of the printer was completely different than the computer showed. I can't explain why, and neither...

It's not, you run windows on the mac.

correct, printing through Onyx. File never changed, I pulled it from the archived files at the bottom of Rip-Queue. Epson tech said he'd seen it before, where something with how a Mac sends the file can do weird things. Which would make a bit of sense, since it essentially happened over a...

Thanks to the help from the tech, we finally figured out that there must have been an update to the iMacs that caused this. I switched over to a regular PC running Windows and it prints just fine. Same exact settings, same exact file, and the iMac running Windows prints a totally different...

The names of the colors shouldn't have changed. They just might not have the gloss or satin white aluminum updated to 2080 yet.

3M has IJ180mC-120, but I'm not sure it's quite that flaky.

The epson, at least the SC ones will tell you when to do everything. There's also stickers on them showing where to clean, like around the heads (NOT ON THEM), and the cap stations, etc. The display will tell you when to do that maintenance as well.

Is there a way to print barcodes and corresponding numbers with rasterlink, without having to create each one individually in illustrator? I've got a job that wants a bunch of gift cards printed, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to create the art.

I'll mention it, thanks!

waiting on parts.

Yeah, I agree, but I don't know how I could read the patches incorrectly since it's pretty much automated. Epson mentioned the heads being out of alignment and needing to be adjusted by the service program, otherwise it's a voltage issue or something. I'm certainly far from an expert, but I...
