Good to know, I'll make sure to do that then. I appreciate it!

The banners won't have finished edges - they'll just be straight flat edges with no hemming. I'll be manually adding grommets to all four corners of each one though. Our work bench is 36" long... It's a baby. So cutting a 33-foot banner 10 times on it would be crazy haha. The floor seems to...

We unfortunately won't be hemming this, as we don't have the capability of doing so :(. They need the banners for this Saturday so we won't have time to sub out the work unfortunately.

Let me clarify... They want ten of these banners, and an additional five of a smaller size (20' long). There's no way cutting on a wooden warehouse floor is going to yield a clean cut, let alone be worth our time to do so. Are you suggesting that cutting banners down on the floor is what's...

Hey all! We don't usually do banners, and have never done one of this size before. We have a SwissQprint Impala 4 with roll-to-roll capability. The roll of material we have is 72" wide, and the thing we need to print is 24" wide. My argument was that we should just get material that's 24"...

How big are the boards you're printing by the way? And do they require white or varnish or both?

We print CMYKcm+a layer of White at 115cm/s and push out 60 12"x18" sheets per hour. That's at 1350x900dpi. It can print even faster though - we can print a full 4ft. x 8ft. board at a lower resolution of 1050x400dpi in about two minutes, or under one minute if it doesn't need white - that...

At tradeshows, even Canon employees call the SwissQ presses the "caddillac of printing." Ease of use, yet extreme quality and color control is extraordinary (like I mentioned, we match our colors within 1ΔE of the target color. Even comparing it to screenprinted inks, we nearly always are able...

Hey there. I run two Impala 4 printers without using ICC profiles and I manually match colors using Adobe Illustrator. We get extremely vibrant colors off of each press - I'm most impressed that these can hit Reflex Blue within 1 delta E whihc is a super vibrant pantone color. We're beyond...

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...
