176 sq ft in 4-pass???? (Preview) We are new to the Seiko 64s and the reason we bought is was for the speed. We have yet to see the performance that it boasted. Is this speed dependant on the media? We seem to be getting around 80-100 sq ft an hour. Would this be consistent with the rest of you?	Heffe	4	1812	Aug 2, 2005 by joshie
Heater unit? (Preview) Just curious to see how many people are running the external heater unit sold as an option. If you are running it, how would you rate it as being worth the $3500 investment? Thanks!	jh	12	1987	Aug 2, 2005 by joshie
Banding in Standard Mode (Preview) I am having trouble printing in standard mode without banding. I do all the cleaning and the service testcleans and even if the test come back clean the print only seems to be about band free about the first 6'. The print is usually a 8'x4' full coverage or a nest covering the same area. I have tried unidir...	sdisney	8	1270	Jul 26, 2005 by sdisney
recover heads with stuck jets (Preview) Has anyone discovered a safe solvent to get jets unplugged? With Spectra heads, one can use acetone. Is this safe for the Konica head? What do you suggest to get a head with a few jets unplugged?	astoneb	2	1356	Jul 26, 2005 by Blue Hornet
Please explain ink consumption? (Preview) 360x720 Bidirectional -4 pass vs 720x720 Bidirectional -4 pass Do these settings use same amount of ink? Is more ink consumed by number of passes? Or does the ink limit control ink usage? Is there someone out there who can expla...	saskbro	4	1668	Jul 22, 2005 by joshie
360 dpi and 720 dpi (Preview) What is the difference when you RIP al 360 dpi and 720 dpi? Less ink used?, Faster RIP time? I use Onyx Postershop and I can't see any difference in printing quality (besides the printing speed and the color a little lighter) Thanx	GSR	2	1910	Jul 21, 2005 by joshie

CMYK v/s CMYKLcLm (Preview) I have a few questions about CMYK mode printing. 1) Does CMYK uses less ink than CMYKLcLm mode? 2) How much less? (10%, 20%, 30%...) 3) What is the printer resolution when you print in CMYK mode?. Is it 360 dpi,480 dpi? I'm asking because it's very easy to tell the difference between 4 color and 6 color pri...

Seiko - is it worth it ? (Preview) Hi, I'm thinking about buying seiko over Roland SJ-740. 1/ What about inks? Any third-party inks ? They are much more expensive than ones for Roland,especially since it is now so easy to convert Roland to mild-solvent (not eco) machine. BTW: if a company voids a warranty because one used thi...	nickgrand	5	2077	Jun 30, 2005 by sleibo248
Media Counter? (Preview) being a old inkjet person i miss the media counter that was in the HP5000. Does Seiko plan on making that part of its next firmware? It sure helps me keep track of my media usage while I do other jobs. Does anyone have any ideas for modifying some type of counter? -- Edited by sdisney at 13:07,...	sdisney	0	899	Jun 28, 2005 by sdisney
Observation (Preview) In reply to cdezign in general without getting personal, but by monitoring both forums it seems the you are all negative about almost anything. If this is so, why don't you just get rid of all this equipment and go on with life. I am getting really tired of reading in almost any reply to almost any issue...	ccshfb	1	1378	Jun 21, 2005 by Anonymous
53' Print limit (Preview) Does anyone know how to hack the 53' print limit with Onyx. I have talked to Onyx tech support and they had a couple suggestions but they said the issue is known there and a solution is probably around June or July. Thanks	sdisney	6	1328	May 31, 2005 by sdisney

backlit graphics (Preview) I am very exited about this printer, although never having owned a solvent printer before this looks like the one to buy, one question to you peolple that have one though, if you print on transluscent white vinyl and apply to either white or clear acrylic, will the print light properly, currently we su...

banding or mattling problems (Preview) I would like to hear how end users are solving this problem. I cannot print a job without this problem. Light colors print okay, but rich dark colors, even red, print with the segmented bar. Seiko calls it a rip problem. I am a sign shop. Now I have to learn color management and get into an area that i partic...	cdezign	1	1429	Apr 14, 2005 by waltman

so when will this happen if ever? (Preview) purely rumor and speculation........... oce taking on the seiko colorpainter........retagging it.........producing their own brand of inks...............and more than likely bundling postershop with it............. when might this be happening if at all?...................	scheid	1	1404	Apr 10, 2005 by cdezign
Magenta Modeling in Blue Prints (Preview) I'm Having Problems Printing solid Blue prints without getting a moddled magenta haze to the rest of the blue color. Is this a heat setting issue? Or is this a Media Problem? I guess the problem can be also described asa faint magenta camoflage patten in the solid blue color. Only seems to be ha...	Heffe	5	1304	Mar 10, 2005 by Dimirll
