With serial port plotters it's usually about the port settings. They all have to match in the plotter, software and port device settings. Unfortunately, it's been so long for me, I don't remember the recommended settings. Was the plotter working before for you, and this is a new computer...

Make sure that whatever you get, that you have good local support. I think that will matter more than the small differences between any of the modern wide format printers. Here in the states, most manufacturers have a decent repair/support program. It might not be the same where you are. If...

360, 365, 560 and 575 are the only ones with a built in i1. You'll need a RIP that supports profiling and a stand alone spectrophotometer if you need to make your own or even linearize existing profiles.

First of i'm going to assume you mean FC8600. Second, if this is going on 3 years, why didn't you take it to your distributor or back to graphtec and get it fixed? It's most likely mechanical. With no media loaded, the pinch wheels let the grit wheels and down-aka: lever is up, make sure...

I can see the edge of the red is pixelated, but I think the OP is referring to the drops of ink beyond the print area. My guess would be fibers caught on the print head are doing this. Check the bottom of the head very closely using a good flashlight. You probably picked up some scrim...

Thermal printing refers to foil resin machines like Gerber edge or Summa DC printers. But, you can try it in your latex printer and see what happens. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

The are several small format UV printers that can do what you're looking for. Check out Roland or Mutoh. Or you could go bigtime and get a large format 4x8 or larger and do it big time. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

You may have thrown your money down a very deep hole. You would have been better off just getting the stickers from an established shop. Fasttrack connects via serial port and doesn't require drivers. The Gerber software Timgo pointed to (and even went so far as to verify the serial number...

Have you changed your cutting strip? Have you changed your blade? Is the carriage solid on the rail or can you wiggle it forwards and backwards?

Dixie, has this set up worked previously and now has a problem or did you just try to set this up and have never been able to plot to the Suma? Joe

Sarah, try cleaning the encoder strip first. that error really means that the encoder from the motor and the encoder on the head carriage are reporting different info. Usually this is from a dirty or defective encoder strip. Good Luck

This is a lot like the post about getting good greys in Flexi. The best answer would be to get someone in who is competent at making profiles and get a customer profile for the media you're using on the printer your using with the ink set that you're using and the RIP that you're usin in the...

crny1 thanks for the promo ;) If replacing blade and limit position calibration won't fix it, then you probably need to rebuild the sheet cut mechanism or possibly just replace the spring. Good Luck

Some factors to consider - Will someone with experience be applying these? Experienced people can probably do this as described above. Inexperienced people would benefit from a thicker material - either application tape or laminate or thicker vinyl What vinyl will you use? - Cast would be...

If you have profile creation ability, you could mess with black generation settings, but really, you just need to have the printhead replaced and do it right.

I'm sorry, but I can't hand out that info. But I'll be happy to help where I can. And yes, a head strike can cause that too. I'm glad you got it fixed. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

That's normal. It's doing an environmental match - you had to do this manually on your SP. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

0400 error means that there is a problem with the damper emptying within the expected time while cleaning. Most often it's due to dirty cap tops or nozzle plate. Clean both very well with swabs and fluid. The 0010 indicates that the problem is with head 3, left channel. If you haven't...

Vander, (and others) on Roland print only devices, the pinch wheel setup is similar to, say, a Mutoh- not moveable and relatively a solid row of wheels. The use am optical sensor on the carriage to measure the actual media. So typical problems with this system are (usually in this order in my...

On top of the Y rail above the bearing rail.. Looks like a dark gray strip of plastic. You shold be able to get it all just by opening the covers. You'll need to move the carriage out of the way to clean the strip behind it. Make sure that you only use Isopropyl Alcohol, not Roland (or any...
