I suddenly have a major problem! Purchased a few machines from another signshop that gave up, and we now have a barely used S-class 160D with OposX, and our old SummaSign Pro 160T, with Opos2, which also has very low use. We only need one, and hardly ever need the ectra cutting width of the...

Hi all! I have picked up a used Spitfire I may be repairing or sell for parts. Also, I have found that the Spitfire is the exact same machine as the Rockhopper III, except for the ink used. The Spitfire Extreme has microweave, whereas the non Extreme does not, as far as I can find this is...

Hi, All! Has anyone ever had this extremely annoying and frustrating problem? We just spent 30 k getting an Epson GS6000, thinking all our color problems would be in the past, and suddenly, all we got out of it was cute, pink prints... Wanted blue, but then, I guess we can't always decide...

Hi all. Our GS tends to get head rubbing on semi long runs (6'+). May be due to not straight loading, but any good tips on how to get it straight? I roll it tight, hold while closing the handle. Got paper skew warning pretty much every time, and had to disable that. It may be a warranty...

We have been offered a Spitfire. How good is it? Any use selling our Mimaki JV3 and getting it in stead? I understand it has wavy banding in stead of straight banding... Thanks, guys!

We are considering buying a GS6000, and have searched the forum, lots of great info, even on waterbased Epsons. We already have one of those. How 'bout it... anyone else who'd like to see Epson on the list, among other top brand printers?

I have been getting a few inquiries how to reset the date in JV3's, to enable using up all the ink. Many users are frustrated by having to replace their cartridges before empty, due to date expiration. This is not necessary. Also, we always "add 30 cc" when printer says "near end"...

Hi. We are ready to replace the dampers on our JV3 160 SP. We are having some issues with ink starvation, prints fine a few passes, then lighter bands. We have been having issues since it was new a year ago, but now the banding is worse, figured first step would be the dampers. We...

We use FlexiSign 7.6.2 Pro with a t140 cutter, it cuts fine. However, we have not been able to use OPOS with FlexiSign. First of all- is there a way to make FlexiSign automatically print the OPOS-markers? Secondly- how do I tell FlexiSign to cut this OPOS print? It's of course no problem...

Hi, all. Has anyone here gone from 6 color to dual CMYK? We are running 6-color, and are having some problems with banding, more noticeable on some materials, I don't think it has to do with the profiles. I am wondering if maybe having 2 print heads for each color will assure a more even...

I have seen several posts on changing the date, or other tricks to be able to use outdated ink cartridges. When setting up our machine, we suddenly ended up with November 2008 on the clock, which caused the whole thing to freeze up, just dashes where the ink remaining should be. Should be no...

Our JV3 is set up for 6-color + WW. We got it new 3 weeks ago, inks were half full, ordered a new 6-color set, the dealer told me we would not need white for a long time, not necessary to order white. Now, suddenly, white is "near end", and we have not printed one sq inch white yet, it's all...

As some of you know, we have had some serious problems hitting colors, especially the light blues, such as blue skies ending up perfectly matching the Mimaki purple... Went in to the color-thingie in the rip (FlexiSign), pulled light Magenta down, no effect on purple skies. Pushed light...

We've been playing with our new Mimaki JV3, finally got it to print nice... Then went to print a job, 12' long print, at first it looked like we were looking through blinds!?? lighter areas every inch or so. Started over with 6 pass in stead of 12 pass, unidirectional, now at least it...

Well- Big Day! Finally got our brand new JV3-160SP in the door, and actually got it to print also! 6-color plus white setup. (CMYKcmWW) Now, of course the colors were WAY off, then downloaded icc profile from SA website for Oracal 3651, 6 color, and printed on Oracal 651, but colors from a...

We have a Summa Durachrome (DC1), and are getting good prints from it. It does pretty good, and we are trying to be a bit more advanced with it. Problem is printing photos on clear vinyl to use on windows- anyone know an easier way to get white onto the print than to completely redraw the...
