  1. Need Help With a my Gerber Edge & GSX plus plotter

    Dwayne, take the left cover (black under where the vinyl would roll off) off of the Edge and remove and carefully replace the 2 flat cables at the right (front) of the mainboard. These go to the control panel and display panel. There's a very good chance that they got dislodged when it...
  2. New Print Head Value Jet 1204

    Or you could have put the cables in the new head incorrectly and when you put the old one back in, the cables were inserted correctly. But now that you've installed the head, if it is bad, you're probably going to have a hard time returning it - even if it was truly DOA. Most likely it will be...
  3. Wanted Wtb Xrite I1 Pro 2

    I have production house 12, but when I started with onyx (6.5)poster shop would would let you do everything but if profiles. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
  4. Wanted Wtb Xrite I1 Pro 2

    Pauly, I stand corrected. Evidently they changed this in version 11. I've been using Production House so I wasn't aware of this.
  5. Affordable printing/cutting software for Roland SC-500 printer.

    You should see if you can find Roland Color Choice RIP software that originally came with that printer. Then you can use open source software to create your files - check out inkscape. But remember, you get what you pay for. If you got a 3rd party RIP like Sign Lab or Flexi, you would have...
  6. Replacing a DX-4 Head

    Not to mention the can of worms that this opens when something goes wrong... Then the finger pointing starts and no one will win.

    Have you tried Seal? SEAL Parts Order Form - Seal Graphics
  8. 3M ControlTac economy Matte?

    Ahhh....
  9. 3M ControlTac economy Matte?

    It's a Corvette. Why would the term "economy" be part of this quote?
  10. material bunching in pinch rollers

    the vacuum is in front of the pinch rollers, so it could very well be holding it back while you're pinch wheels continue to move it forward. Back it off and see how it runs.
  11. material bunching in pinch rollers

    What printer?? Can you turn down the vacuum on it?
  12. Question HP 500 series ?s

    2CT, I haven't looked at the spec sheet, so this is mostly my thoughts, but you really have the same printhead configuration, with the addition of another optimizer head, so I don't think you'll get comparable print quality at half the number of passes. And if I remember my webinar correctly...

    Just remember that these were designed to be production machines. Printing a nozzle test every 3 days won't cut it. If you're printing 10 sf or more every 3 days, this might do the trick. It will do a maintenance cleaning if it's turned on, but again this won't overcome the fact that it's...

    I've seen this pretty regularly with printers at schools. I'd recommend that you get a tech in to do a preventative maintenance visit on it at the start of every school year. Have them replace the maintenance station before the year starts and ask for recommendations on maintenance while you...
  15. Suggestions Emerging from my Time Capsule: What are the substrates of choice these days?

    Hey Kevin, We still sell some MDO - already coated with white enamel btw. But not many are painting the backgrounds. More often their getting a print slapped on or sometimes just vinyl letters on the prefinished face. The most common by far now is aluminum composite boards with the solid...
  16. GERBER Edge Keeps Cutting Off Some Letters

    Does it do this with other foils/vinyl combinations?
  17. Am I TOO picky? (Sign Blank Suppliers)

    From a supplier's (who runs delivery trucks) point of view, it happens. Unfortunately, the people we hire to do delivery and work in the warehouse tend to be those looking for jobs. These are entry level positions and it takes time to train and/or weed out the ones who will not cut it. Here's...
  18. Quick! Sign Auction! Look

    Pay a local Roland tech to flush the lines and lock the head for shipment for you. That is a good price - $500 right now.
  19. Wanted Wtb Xrite I1 Pro 2

    So, you'll be able to linearize existing profiles, which is helpful. But you won't be able to create printer profiles with Postershop alone. If you're interested in making your own profiles, I'd recommend stepping up to Production House rather than getting a separate profiling software. Onyx's...
  20. PerfCut SP-300

    It will wear on your cutting strip and it will wear on your knife blade. Like perfectpdf said, make sure they're in good condition. If you do it, you should get a premium for it. Also, I would try this out on a smaller job or just for your own use rather than try to learn something new under...
