You're just asking for headaches and large repair bills if you're going to try and store it for that long without flushing it first. You'll want to do a head wash. I don't remember for sure, but I think that will require 8 cleaning cartridges, but you won't have to worry about how long it...

This will happen when 2 conditions exist: 1. Old captop or something on the captop which allows the 2 channels to siphon through the cap top and 2. The level of ink the the black cartridge is substantially higher than the level of ink in the cyan cartridge. - it could go the other way if the...

Like my buddy Phil Knight likes to say - "Just do it"

Since you've replaced the blade, I would recommend replacing the cutter protection strip and possibly the blade holder. If it's more than that, you should have a tech take a look at it. As far as the print you have already, dialing in the cutter - or improving the cuts should not affect the...

the XF is probably the hardest printer to get dialed in and it almost takes a microscope to get the bias and vertical alignments within spec. You also have to turn on the the print heat in service mode so that the dots don't spread too much so that you can see the individual dots for proper...

It's not "just alcohol". I've seen alcohol gel up solvent inks. You don't want that to happen in your ink train. It's ok for cleaning overspray off the platen or cleaning your encoder strip. Get the correct cleaning fluid from your vendor.

Glad I could help

ink dripping from a VS head (assuming no physical damage to the head) is usually the sign of a bad damper. Did the dampers get replaced when the head was?

Aloha Doug! I try to help when I can. As for free software, I don't think it would be compatible with the CE-1000. It comes with the newest plotters and only has drivers for them. Graphtec's website doesn't even show the CE-1000 on their legacy plotter list any more. Since Denco doesn't...

I gave up on a few months ago when it wouldn't work with this forum. I just use my phone browser

3m makes an aircraft film, besides what you mentioned, it is perforated because the aluminum skin will actually leak air when the plane is at altitude and the cabin is pressurized.

You should be able to find a 1/4-20 bottoming tap at your local Ace or True Value store. It's a pretty common size. Sometimes it's easier to just go put eyes on the thing. Also, you may need to start it with the normal tapered tap just to get some light threads started.

Pausing after each pass is typically caused by one of 2 things on the VG. 1. communications issues - network, cables, NIC, etc. If this has been stable and nothing has changed, I'd start by looking at #2 (especially since you got the head protection message). 2. Ink bag not recognized. - In...

I'm usually agreeing with you VanderJ, but this seems like it would just make a mess on the back of the mesh which would just get dragged forward on the printer and make a bigger mess.

That would depend on the plotter you're using and the design software you're using.

So, if it's for a fire department that demands color continuity, why not just get the Gold reflective and price the job according the materials and labor involved in doing it the right way?

Alicia, Close Flexi and Production Manager then go to the Start Menu and SAi and click on the Preferences Manager. Select Factory Defaults and click on load. This will essentially reset Flexi to where it was when it was first installed.

I usually change out the cable guides when I replace the cable, but cleaning would be the minimum. Then make sure that the cable hugs the inside cable guide when you put it all back together - adjust this by moving the cable along the bottom of the track to get it right and run the carriage...

Something's not right there. Here's what I get with Agreloy.ttf: I happen to be using Flexi Sign and Print 12, but I would have expected the same thing from v10. You could try loading the factory defaults in the Preference manager and see if that solves your problem. - Be aware that this...

I have a customer using SignLab to drive their L365. It may not be certified, but it does the job. Also, I agree with Frank, don't pick your printer based on driver availability. At the very least, you could use Sign Lab to create your files and RIP it through the provided RIP (or a premium...
