Materials without paper backers, such as PVC banner vinyl tend to be more temperature-sensitive, and head strikes is often times the result of over heating these media. In this case, the media has a paper backer, and the adhesive on the media is tunneling. Tunneling is more often related to...

I would say that the primary considerations for unattended print runs should include: 1. Large ink capacity. 2. Reliable take-up reel system 3. Ability to easily and remotely monitor the printers activity from a smartphone or tablet (IOS or Andriod), and obtain near real-time information...

Sorry, you misunderstood Hotspur's post. He was referring to the Cannon IPF and Epson machines, and not the Latex 360. So you're both right.

It sounds like you are making this (simulating/ reproducing Pantone colors) more difficult than it really needs to be. As you are using Adobe Illustrator to design in (I think?) and Onyx to RIP, both of these products already include references to virtually all Pantone colors and names. The...

It is very difficult to see what you are trying to communicate in your image. I see what look like horizontal bands as well as vertical bars. Which latex printer model are you using?

There is a tremendous of confusion on this subject. With color management enabled, the RIP will use the ICC profiles for the media to re-interpret the color in the file, causing the CMYK values to change. With color management turned off, (when using a CMYK-based file) the CMYK values in the...

I would have to assume that your Media Profile (output) has become corrupted in some way. I would propose that you go into Media Manager, and delete the media there, and then re-install a known good OML for the media that you are printing to.

Is the original issue resolved (coalescence)? This (blue / purple) would appear to be a completely separate issue from that one.

This is an issue that I have seen at customer sites over the past couple of years, and the short answer is that it is caused by ink that is coalescing in the print zone of the printer. It almost always occurs where black vector objects are touching other mid-tone colors. I've seen it with black...

Agreed. This appears to be what i would term 'Chromatic Banding'. It is caused by the inverting of the order of ink application in bi-directional printing. It is often referred to as lawnmower banding, and UV Curing inks can be prone to this. Running the machine in uni-directional mode will...

Definitely had cross-contamination going on with head number two (Magenta - Yellow). It will almost certainly come back after a period of non-print inactivity. I would suggest: 1. Replace the dampers for Magenta and Yellow. 2. Replace the cap top for head #2 If you are doing those...

It is either air in the lines (causing a dry fire), or heads that are failing. As you said that the heads have been replaced (all of them / which ones?), that would leave us with air in the lines. Improper replacement of the ink carts is the easiest way to introduce air into the lines. As had...

I would say that the primary motivation for this would be a desire for more throughput and production flexibility. The Latex L2 series has a long warmup time (~10 minutes) and this effectively forces the user to print multiple jobs at one time as a batch process. The L3 machine warmup is less...

Your numbers for printhead cost and cleaning kits would appear to be quite high. The ink cost might be a bit on the low side. The most accurate answer is for you to go your Embedded Web Server (browser interface) for your Latex 260 and review historical job data there. You can get the aggregate...

Epson DX2 heads. Same as Falcon Outdoor/ Rockhopper

I would hope that you are not running multiple anti-virus products on the same machine. Doing so will result in a myriad of problems, slowdowns, and conflicts (MalwareBytes is not an AV product, but Security Essentials and AVG are).

Mixing water with solvent cleaning solution would be a really bad idea, and will likely cause gelling inside of the printhead. More than likely the head is now as you say burned. Don't ever mix water and solvent compounds in the same ink train system.

I have i1 systems, and the SwatchMate Cube measurement device. The Cube began shipping in November. It seems to work well, I use the IOS-based app. The Cube is a spherical geometry device, which means that it 'should be' more accurate on non-flat surfaces than a 45 degree geometry device, such...

What is the effective resolution of the raster elements in the file ((assuming that there are raster elements in the file that is going to the RIP)?
