OKAY, PROBLEM REALLY SOLVED. Rather than copying the layer information, I need to copy the CMYK channels and then paste that information into the Spot White channel, delete CMYK info and layer info as well. Then I can save as a TIFF. It took another co-worker to go through the motions before we...

Problem has surfaced again! Arrrgh! This time there isn't supposed to be any CMYK elements at all, I'm printing a 60% tint of white on a clear film. When I created the files originally, I simply turned off the CMYK channels as was suggested and I can save them as a TIFF. However, once I bring...

Is 47" the widest it is available from the manufacturer and what is the fire rating on it? We are in need of an eco-friendly natural product but looking for 120" widths or close with a certified fire rating for commercial use. Thanks!

I am printing Abaco Beach wallpaper roll to roll on our Durst Rho 600. I noticed that the vacuum suction through the belt is causing some of the ink to be sucked into lines (where the holes are in the belt) and is creating darker lines in the print. Tried lowering the vacuum setting but no...

Thanks for the info, even as a pre-press manager it's clear I have a lot to learn about different printing/file saving methods. I've been an operator for most of my 8 years in the trade and have only recently stepped up to the pre-press plate. The majority of equipment and programs we have...

The problem has been resolved, files came together once I added the CMYK elements in with the Spot White ones, though it took a few tries to get it right. Saving files out as Tiffs (with spot whites) like Bobby H has noticed, it can be inconsistent which is why I thought reaching out to this...

That's incredibly helpful. First off, I'm an operator, not the owner. I can't simply get a new RIP. Second, the machine doesn't operate on any other RIP, it's proprietary. And finally, pre-press people in digital printing typically steer clear of printing anything from a PDF, especially one that...

Can't. The RIP only reads TIFF or PS files.

I was able to save it as a TIFF by turning the channels off but I can't confirm my machine will read it until I'm done printing a job. Conversely, I have CMYK elements that will be printing with this job and those elements will be on a different PS layer. Will turning off the CMYK mean the rest...

I'm using the proprietary RIP that comes with the Durst Rho 600, not sure what it's called at the moment. I am deleting the CMYK channels altogether, not simply turning them off. I will try turning off the channels and report back to you.

The file is roughly 88" x 61" at 100 dpi, I dropped it down from 200 due to file size. I'm working with it at half size since the original is so big. @BobbyH, sorry if this is a newb question, when you refer to the alpha channel, is the spot white channel included in that? Reason I ask is all...

I am under the impression that it's not Onyx that takes so much time, it's the lack of CPU power and RAM that causes the problem. That's why RIP stations are so important. You need the right amount of both (I'd recommend a quad core and minimum 4Gb RAM) to operate a RIP properly. I've used Onyx...

We will be closed on Monday but that's it. We've got a couple of large projects for end December into January so there won't be much rest for us.

The spot white is for printing on our Durst Rho 600 flatbed which can print white. The RIP can search for data called "spot white" and then it knows which elements of the design are to be white. The only requirement is that it is a TIFF, else the RIP can't see it. The info we paste into the spot...

I'm stumped on this. I'm creating a file with a spot white channel in it. I go through the motions of setting it up but when I go to save the file, it only gives me PSD, RAW and 2.0 as options for format. I also tried the same steps in CS5 just in case it was something buggy but it didn't work...

Maxi pads would likely break down faster than the waste pads. If I recall correctly, the waste pads are more foam-like whereas the maxi pads are made of a more cottony fibrous material. It's also possible as the maxi pads absorb the ink, they will increase in size which has the potential for...

Yeah, I think we will be doing that next time as we are currently doing the Xacto scrape and having no luck. I did learn that I am 2 versions behind on the firmware so I'll be doing that next. EDIT: Just updated the firmware to 2.1 but now an odd thing is happening. When the sensor goes over...

I don't have pics but I have a 1967 Suzuki T200 that doesn't work, will resto once I have the money. Had a 1972 CB175 that was going to be cafe'd but my ex-husband sold it. :'(

I see some activity in the Graphtec section but sadly no replies to my thread. We did get one of our prints to plot today by scraping the lam over the reg mark with an Xacto blade but after doing that to the other prints, it's now not working again. Is it possible to remove the sensor and...

Anytime I encounter this problem it could be a few things. A) oversaturation of ink. if it's not drying properly, the rollers can pick up some of the ink. B) on scrim vinyl banner material, having too much heat on the pre-heater can cause the vinyl to soften and the pinch rollers then...
