Hi all, so my company got a SwissQprint Impala 4 this past August, and the thing is incredibly efficient for what we print. It's replicating screenprinted colors with ease. We also have our old Oce Arizona 480GT, which we now never use aside from doing daily nozzle checks and maintenance once...

Hey all, just wanted to send an update that cleaning the brushes fixed the problem! I've made this part of my monthly maintenance routine. Luckily, we will be selling the Oce Arizona soon anyway, as my company just purchased a SwissQprint Impala 4 a few months ago and the Oce has laid still...

Ah I understand what you're saying, cool. I'll have to get my hands on that gauge, we don't have one here so I'll contact Canon/Oce to see if they're able to send us one. Thanks again for the clarification! Hoping to have this puppy running in tip-top shape by the time I'm done with it. ;)

Ah, good to know! I'll add that to the list of things to do when I have enough down time to work on this deeper. Thank you!

Gotcha, thanks for the info - It does seem as though the vacuum pressure stays within that +/- 0.5" range, but I assume calibrating it is actually going to calibrate the readout, meaning that there's the potential that the readout is incorrect on my screen - does it sound like I'm understanding...

Gotcha, I'll have to see if there's something similar with the motor brushes in my machine. I couldn't see the motors being brushless so that would definitely make sense! Interesting that it would cause interference though, but hey, weird stuff can happen like that sometimes for sure...

Gotcha, thanks for the ideas. Will definitely pull the cover off and inspect the cables when I get the chance - I would assume it would be in the carriage that I should be looking for damage, correct?

Interesting. I just rebooted the press again and now it seems to be working just fine, so maybe it was a loose cable inside the carriage... I'll have to pull the cover off and have a look at the connections. Thanks, will report back if I find anything. This thing does run on Windows XP and...

Hey all, Today I did my morning maintenance of purging and vacuuming the print heads, nothing out of the ordinary. Then when I went to do the nozzle check the first time, I hit print, everything was running normally, numbers looked fine, and then suddenly the print stopped while it was laying...

Wow! This is all information that we don't even have at the company. I never thought there would be a straight-up service manual for it, kind of assumed that no such thing existed for some reason. I'll have to call up our contact at Canon to see if they would be able to send me a PDF of the...

According to the previous press operator, replacing the micron filters did not solve the problem, unfortunately. I can't confirm with my own experience that that's true though - I'm kinda taking what he's said with a grain of salt at this point haha. Do you know where the meniscus value should...

There are no physical gauges - would it be one of the measurements on the ink screen on the print station computer? From there it shows Meniscus vacuum as 19.1psi, purge pressure as 5.1in. H2O, and degas vacuum as 11.6psi. I don't think it's been calibrated in a long time, if ever. I just...

Hey all, sorry for being so late to the party on this thread. On my Oce Arizona 480GT I get "Ink Vacuum System Error" every time I do the daily print head vacuuming. The white ink heads both drip ink after purging until I close the maintenance drawer - but then they stop dripping and there are...
