  1. Color isn't printing correctly

    + 1 You have major nozzle-related problems and/or media feed issues to have that banding occurring.
  2. PDF Files VS EPS Files...

    There are at least two significant differences between these file formats: 1) EPS file never contain Embedded Working Spaces, such as Adobe 1998, sGB, SWOP or GRACol. This file format simply does not support them. This makes it more important to properly define the application-based color...
  3. Roland XJ640 Help

    The first thing is to know/ set the printer's IP Address. This is performed from the printer's front panel, under the Menu > ...Network Settings. Once you have defined the IP address of the printer, along with the Subnet Mask, save those settings and write them down. Close Versawoks and go to...
  4. Installing Printers on Onyx for the First Time

    The computer that has the RIP installed must be on the same LAN, in the same IP Range as the printers. The simplest way to check this in Onyx is to use the 'test' button on the configure printer screen - see attached. If the test button fails, it means that the printer and RIP cannot...

  7. Have never seen this happen.................

    +1. Well said.
  8. Have never seen this happen.................

    If I recall, you are using a good RIP (Caldera) and you are also building custom profiles. That combination goes a long,long way toward alleviating this issue.
  9. Have never seen this happen.................

    This alone will not solve the problem. The grays are being re-interpreted in the RIP, and will still print with all 4 colors of ink in the gray. The only ways to stop this from occurring is: a) to build CMYK-based files, and turn off Color Management in your RIP. This will cause other issues...
  10. Have never seen this happen.................

    This is actually a fairly common occurrence, particularly with grays. This happens for several reasons: 1) Human vision is very good at discriminating differences in near neutral colors like grays. 2) Grays are typically built using all four colors in process printing (CMYK), and not only K...
  11. Ink Management

    In RIP-based workflows that are typically used to drive large-format printers, ink limits are set in the media profile, which resides in the RIP. These ink limits are defined in the process of building/ creating the media profile. If you are over-inking the media (typically characterized by...
  12. Why is no one interested in new Mimaki printers?

    I think that it a combination of the fact that the machines were initially announced almost two years ago (Fespa Barcelona Feb 2012) and have been repeatedly delayed, and the major unique selling proposition for the latex model (white ink) is a non-starter for many users of roll-to-roll...
  13. Icc profile for 3m ij35-10 / flexi / l25500

    You must be good. The fastest that I've ever completed a RIP media profile on the HP L255/ L265 is about 1 hour.
  14. HP L26500 Extra Print Head Cleaning

    Use extra PH cleaning with caution as it will burn through the cleaning cartridge much faster with it enabled versus not enabled.
  15. Came into work with a service error. Now the test prints are like this! HELP!

    The 0110 error is linear encoder related, and it has nothing to do with the nozzle problems that are evident in your test print. I would first replace all cap tops and then run medium cleanings (a couple of them), and assess from there. You can also suck ink from below the cap top, using the...
  16. Cut line in illustrator for VersaWorks

    Agree with the prior poster. The path is there on it's own layer, but it is not visible. Also, it does not have the color properties needed to make it a cut path, typically this is a spot color designation with a reserved name. Often times the name CutContour is used by several RIPs by default.
  17. HELP! VP540 & SP540 mainboard interchangeable?

    NO, different boards.
  18. X-Rite i1Pro2 on Caldera V8

    It will certainly work, as the Pro2 is compatible with the drivers that were built for the older i1Pro that was used for many years, meaning that the Pro2 will emulate the older unit in this case.
  19. VS-540 Substance UltraCurve Profile?

    The VS Series has a different printhead (DX5) than the VP Series (DX4), and as such, is a completely different animal. The easiest course of action would be to contact the media manufacturer (Substance) and inquire into the availability of media profiles for the VS. Frankly, the approach that...
  20. HP 26500 Media Doesnt Exist?? WTF?!

    It sounds like the hard drive in the printer might be getting flaky. If it's still under warranty, I would give HP a call.
