Yes. Since you're having problems with other buttons besides the speed control, the problem is probably not with the potentiometer but with the board, or possibly with the cable that connects the board to the works.

Since you've had other problems with the controls, perhaps the problem could be with the ribbon cable that connects to that board.

I suspect your speed control potentiometer may need to be cleaned or replaced. It's the round thing underneath the speed control dial with the three electrical connectors. I've had to do this with my laminators. On your machine, it looks like the potentiometer is soldered to the control board...

Believe it or not, I was in Mensa, briefly, 40 years ago. I wasn't impressed either. Bunch of losers (including me). A high IQ has little impact on how successful a person will be in life. I would gladly trade a measure of intelligence for an equal measure of grit and perseverance. I think...

Here's what I use, though it's not really a table. It's one of those hand trucks that folds into a cart. I use it to roll in the bin that holds the tools and stuff, then I take out the stuff I need and put it on top of the bin. The advantage is that it rolls around with me to the specific spot...

Harbor Sales in Baltimore delivers to Richmond every day, no shipping charge. Harborsales.net

I had a heck of a time trying to get perf through our Latex 365 without scuffs in the curing area. More vacuum and less heat definitely helped, but what finally worked was adding the counterweights to the back of the take-up reel. I've found that if the media skew is not absolutely perfect (and...

I agree with jimmmi and mbasch: without the counterweights, there's too much pull on the take-up reel. We have a 365 and keep the counterweights on all the time.

I checked Harbor Sales' web site, and they say that 49" x 10' x 3/4" Komacel "ships in 1 day". Don't know how accurate that is, but it might be worth a call. Most of the other sizes say they ship in 22 or 45 or 54 days. They do have 63 sheets of 4 x 8 x 1/4" in stock. Maybe you could paste...

ShowdownDisplays.com offers several retractable stands with adjustable-height poles. I've been pretty happy with their products. Here is a link to their hardware catalog: https://www.showdowndisplays.com/cdn/Catalogs/2021-Hardware-SD.pdf

Unfortunately, this is a fairly common problem with the Z6100. I had to replace the Ink Supply Tubes and Trailing Cable Assembly. See this thread from 2012: https://www.signs101.com/threads/designjet-z6100-faulty-cartridge-issue.96650/ My Z6100 still likes to reject cartridges when they get...

I can't help you regarding the Tripp Lite surge protector. Our problem wasn't spikes and fluctuations, it was a consistent voltage reading of 245, too high for the L365. We solved the problem by installing an Acme Electric T181050 Buck-Boost Transformer on each of the two lines. The printer's...

This sounds counter-intuitive, but you might try installing the counterweights on the back of the dancer bar. This has helped us successfully print on perforated vinyl and heavy papers that had previously been bunching up on our Latex 365. I think the reason it helps is this: if your skew is...

We applied all the prints directly to the glass with a laminator (it's a new construction project), and used felt squeegees and application fluid where we needed to. I'm more concerned about the long-term appearance. What if people tape things to the windows? Or if they have heavy-handed...

Post heating? With a heat gun?

So this is characteristic of all (or most) cast laminates? I normally use calendared (since almost all my work is flat and temporary), and it just seems tougher than 8518.

Just finished a large window graphics project using 3M 8518 on three different products (IJ8150, 40C-114R, and 70/30 perf, all printed with HP latex). I was surprised and disappointed at how "soft" the surface of the 8518 is. It scuffs extremely easily, even if you just sweep the surface with a...

I've found a laser level to be very helpful for wall murals.

I would contact a printing equipment broker. Old presses such as this often have a second life in other countries where the cost of labor to keep them operating is lower. When I lived in the Philippines, I saw many old presses running happily that would have been too costly to maintain in the...

It could be a print that has been encapsulated between an overlaminate and a 10-mil backing material. I used to produce a lot of trade show displays that way. (Except that the backing material was opaque.)
