On the Latex 360 the inter-pass delay setting is tied to the specific media selected when loading the printer.

Is the oil visible in the print zone, or only after the media has passed through the curing unit?

Post a shot of the Nozzle Test Print (from the printer, not the RIP).

+1 Nozzle performance is the first key component in diagnosing banding related problems (and the second is media feed).

Most large-format printers will not print consistent color across the width of the print area. Inverting every other tile will ensure that the same physical side of the printer produces colors that end up butting to the next tile.

The vast majority of the printed banner market is front lit exterior-use products that are imaged onto scrim PVC banner media. They are most often 13 - 15 oz (weight per square yard) products.

Many manufacturers of PVC banner vinyl make specific products that are designated as anti-curl product. I know that Ultraflex and Herculite Bantex both offer curl-free products that work well in applications where curl is a problem, such as banner stands etc. The curl-free media products are...

The OMAS sensor is what is used to locate the line for side B. Is the printer reporting any errors with the OMAS? It is possible that the lens is dirty (covered with ink) and needs to be cleaned.

Oops, you are correct. I had thought that the Cut Configuration screen in Onyx 11 contained this type of functionality, but I was wrong on that. The Graphtec Cutting Master 3 plug-in does contain that capability, but not Onyx.

As it sounds like you are aware, printing grayscale images and graduated neutral tones will task a color managed workflow far more than other types of output. I suppose there are two basic ways you can proceed - the right way, or the easy way. Be aware that the easy option will not provide all...

Neither! Gently clean using only a damp (water) non-shedding lint-free soft cloth. The encoder contains markings that can be (will be) removed with harsh cleaning agents.

What is the nature of the issue in Onyx 10.1? For the record, I have Onyx 10 and 11, as well as Caldera and about 6 other RIPs. I really feel like Onyx and Caldera are each best in breed products, although Caldera is Unix-based (incl Mac) and Onyx is Windows-based.

As has been previously stated, 79.04 errors are undefined, but there are sub-codes that can be used to further diagnose the source of the problem. We have seen network data errors cause this error, and the issue was that a TCP/IP phone was on the same physical cable (in-line) as the RIP...

Given that is a Chinese made machine, the first question would be what RIP software are you using to drive the machine? Media profiles (on most halftone machines) are specific to RIP + printer model + media + Ink Set. Sometimes, with the Chinese products, the availability of pre-built (canned)...

As has been previously stated, the RIP is re-interpreting the colors in the file (RGB or CMYK or spot etc) and performs a series of conversions, ultimately into the output color recipe (probably CMYK) that is defined in the media ICC profile that you are using. If you do not want the RIP to...

Onyx 11 provides this functionality, but I don't believe that it exists in version 10

Does this mean that the cost per cc of the metallic is essentially 4 times that of CMYKcm inks?

Not unusual to lose nozzles. First thing to do would be to run a cleaning from the front panel of the printer (Ink Menu) then reprint the test print. If the nozzles cannot be recovered (usually due to physical damage like a strike or simply use), it is time to replace the affected heads. This...

In my opinion. you are going down the wrong road in swapping out the motherboard. I have seen this specific type of problem with Mutoh Falcon/ Rockhopper printers before (many years ago now) and I believe the issue is related to the linear encoder and/ or sensor. I have seen cases where the...

Any evidence would be strictly anecdotal at this point, and not conclusive. Frankly, I would be most concerned with the VOCs that the solvent inks are releasing into the air that you are breathing. Your options would include: 1) Venting or cleaning the air in the print room (clean with an...
