What I liked the most was the " Multiseat desktop virtualization", running multiple seats from one PC unit. Love the idea, less power consumption, good for basic tasks (though I've seen they're running very demanding aplications in this configuration).
..but that's another topic :)
Hyper-V, since it's integrated in Windows, it has quite a performance (and I've tested VMware & VirtualBox on the same PC). Hyper-V had the best performance (on basic tasks).
If it had VMware's Unity mode, it would have been quite a choice.
VirtualBox in Seamless mode gave me some errors and...
There is an article on Microsoft blog called "Passing through devices to Hyper-V VMs by using discrete device assignment", but it's available since Windows Server 2016 (It looks like they are working on it). But that means buying another license of Windows.
In my opinion, with virtualization, you'll never have the full potential of your PC, since it uses extra PC resources (cpu time, memory, hdd space) to virtualize, translate, emulate, etc. (except bare metal hypervisors, probably).
We have a printer that uses a fiber optic PCI card for data transfer. It has only 32bit drivers, since they've dropped support and changed data transfer to USB in their latest printers.
Using 32 bit Windows is quite limiting, it doesn't see above 3.5 Gb of memory, so we tried to run the PCI card...
If the printer sat for a long time, it may have dried ink in the system (tubings, printhead, etc). Before replacing the inks, I always flush the old ink with cleaning fluid. It's mandatory.
With the printhead you have two options:
1. Change the printhead with a new one
2. Try to recover it...
Hello Chuppy,
You might have a problem with the power switch from the back (poor internal contacts). When you switch the power on, it makes contact for a short period of time, enough to charge the internal capacitors from the power supply. When you try to power on from the display pannel, the...
I had exactly the same problem with Mutoh ValueJet 1614.
First time it was the maintenance station (one broken tube).
Second time it was the damper (it's advisable to use OEM damper...I had lots of problems with 3rd party dampers (some work...some don't))
Third time...it was...the ink?(probably...
You can subscribe for one month, and see if you like it, do some testing. This is how we did it, customer support is very helpful. They've installed (remotely) all the drivers and color profiles for our printers.
After testing, we subscribed for one year with a better price/month. Flexi is a...
If you want to check the ink flow and the damper, you could detach it from the printhead and with a syringe pull slowly some ink through the damper.
If nothing comes out, remove the damper and pull some ink directly from the tube. If this time you have ink flow, the damper is the problem.
This...
We have two Mutoh Valuejet 1614, bought second hand. One has a 3rd party maintenance unit, noisier and messier, with blue wiper blade. Once, I opened the maintenance cover during cleaning and got ink drops all over me. It's not that bad, as long as I keep the maintenance cover closed :).
The...
Some ink splashes can result during cleaning cycles, but not that much.
When you changed the dampers, did you change the wiper blade too? The blue one? It's very...clean..unless you've cleaned it before making the pictures. After some cleaning cycles that wiper should have some ink on it....like...
It's just an ink level sensor (optocoupler). Inside the cartridge was a plastic lever pressing on the ink bag. When the bag was almost empty, that plastic lever would trigger the low ink optical sensor. At least that how it was on Mutoh.
Back in the old days, we had a Mutoh Rockhopper II that had a similar problem. The cartridges were not fully emptied. I kept them, and using 6 syringes (one for each color) I transferred all the ink in one cartridge. From 3 used cartridges I made one full cartridge. Not bad at that time. :)
