  1. Help! Onyx 11 RIP-Queue Keeps Crashing

    Go into your Onyx>Work>[Printer Name] folder and remove any files there. You could have a corrupt file locking things up. Also, check how much free space you have on your hard drive(s).
  2. What's decent monitor color-calibration device?

    If you're looking at just calibrating monitors, then i1 display pro or color munki will do the job, with the i1 being a higher end model. I've not heard of the Datacolor, so I can't address that. As Pauly said, profiling your printer is a necessary step if you want to start doing soft...
  3. Need Help Roland cutting out

    Generally we call the scan direction left to right - the direction the print carriage travels and the feed direction is front to back - the direction the vinyl travels. If it is off front to back (what I call the feed direction), then you should perform the feed calibration with laminated vinyl...
  4. not printing true black xc540

    what are your quality settings in Versaworks? Can you send a screenshot of that? They will have a much bigger impact on print quality than your Corel color settings.
  5. SP300V ink pad UNDER spit sponge?

    It's not too critical what you put down there to absorb the ink, but any Roland dealer can get you the "correct" sponge. The part number is 21545195. You'll want to get 6 of them to fill it up.

  8. Wanted Graphtec Pinch Roller

    You can optionally add another pinch roller on 30 inch Graphtec FC plotter, and set do this frequently for municipal sign shops that deal almost exclusively with reflective signs. But most sign shops do fine with just the 2 standard pinch wheels. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

  10. Question Printing Scrim banner material on roland XR640

    Looks rather cool up there. What is the humidity in your shop? It sounds like you may have a static problem where the wheel tracks are either attracting or repelling the ink. there is a ground strap under the cover that goes from the frame to the pinch wheel lever that will help (somewhat)...
  11. Help me understand 4bit vs 8bit Grayscale - EFI 16H Vs 1625

    Then I think they're talking about drop sizes which is a good thing. More is generally better, but like I said, get some prints and watch the printers work. Stats really mean nothing compared to the output. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  12. Help me understand 4bit vs 8bit Grayscale - EFI 16H Vs 1625

    I'm a little confused - you say 4 bit vs 8 bit grayscale in the subject and 4 levels vs 8 levels in the body of the post. 4 bit would have 8 levels and 8 bit would a have 128 levels. A big difference. In the end, I would agree with you - see prints off of both machines. If you're concerned...

    We ask our techs what they want to learn new each year and then figure out a way to help them learn it. We also let them lead on projects that they express an interest in and try our best to make their efforts succesful.
  14. Vehicle Wrap DPI, how to manage customer expectations

    Your pricing was based on the image they supplied. If you have to purchase a high quality stock image somewhere, that should be passed on to the customer (with a mark up). So why look for free images? Look for good images.
  15. Using Onyx cut marks on Roland xc-540

    Or try adjusting the sensor level, but that can be tricky to get it to read the black from another printer. You would probably need to print a large black square and just let the printer think it was printing the black target before it goes to read the output level.
  16. Wrap Hood W/ Clear for Protection

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) is quite popular around here. It's typically made from urethane rather than vinyl and is almost bullet proof. It will take a rock hit at highway speeds and not even show a mark. It mostly gets applied to the leading surfaces like your grill, side view mirrors, etc...
  17. Need Help tax exemption responsibilities (TX)

    I would check with your CPA with regards to the specifics as they vary from state to state and he would be the most knowledgeable about your particular situation. You're asking a bunch of us who can't even agree on what the best printer is or what the best wrap film is. Get this answer from an...
  18. Mutoh VJ1624 [KCMY] S/C Read Error

    Is this Mutoh ink or a third party ink? Mutoh has the toughest system for preventing smart card duplication. If the above trick doesn't do it, you probably have a burnt smart card. If it's Mutoh ink (or not, I guess) get with your ink supplier. If it happens frequently, you may need to get a...
  19. Vp-540 head issue

    I see way more than 3 missing nozzles and they appear to be at the back of the head. Can you share how you syringe a local area of the print head like the front or back? I've only just done it through the cap top which pulls all the nozzles equally.
