"Great to hear that the lesson stuck. I still use it to ensure those with SP/VP properly insert their cartridges which is not a problem on those machines but ensures they are not forcing cartridges into the wrong slots. IT is more of a concern on the…"

The other day my shake cartridge for #2 came on. I shook it, it seemed a little low, but still had enough in it, and the error message went out. So I ordered a new tall cartridge to be ready for…Continue

I'm trying to run some FDC 7420 semi matte digital paper on my VS 420. When we use the MPP=SG (Photo Semi-Gloss Paper), it prints, and the ink stays on the paper LOL, but not as well as they should,…Continue

Carolyn Klages replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"Irv, I remember you talking about doing the 'two-step-shuffle' when you were here for the install. It's harder to do with the tall cartridges since I'm so short and the new housing cover is so tall. So, now…"
Carolyn Klages replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"So far, so good, but we're keeping an eye on it and will let you all know.
Thanks! Anything I should look out for as a "warning" heads up that something might be going the wrong way? "
irving donaldson replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"For those reading and wanting to know what all is talking about, the VS model introduced vertical cartridge inkwells. The SP, VP and the new BN models use horizontal wells. With horizontal entry the ink is less likely to leak out and cause the…"
Bob McGinn replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"Had the Shake Cartridge display yesterday but nothing was 'FLASHING' on a VS-540 barely 30 days in service. Completed a power off and restart, with no further issues. Versaworks v 4.6.0."
irving donaldson replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"The new adaptor was developed to REDUCE the chance of inserting the cartridge incorrectly. I did state reduce so to minimize even more - do the two step insertion method - insert to get pass the gate and then further insert to seat to needle.

Carolyn Klages replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"Hi, Irv,
Yes, we had the new adaptor installed.
Yes, we checked where the needle is inserted--it's "blue" with some ink drips,
But, No, it's not eroded or melted.
The job I was running at the time was a "cut…"
irving donaldson replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Shake cartridge problems"Did you get the new adaptor installed for your machine? Did you check the edge of the cartridge where the needle is inserted? Is it eroded (melted)? If those answers are No, yes and yes - ink possibly entered into the inkwell and caused the switch…"

The other day my shake cartridge for #2 came on. I shook it, it seemed a little low, but still had enough in it, and the error message went out. So I ordered a new tall cartridge to be ready for it's "out" shake message. Today the shake cartridge message came on for cartridges 1,2,3,4,5,6, so I shook them all, and the #2 shake message stayed flashing. So, I replaced it with the new tall cartridge. The shake #2 message won't quit, no matter how much I shake or reinsert the new…See More
Carolyn Klages replied to irving donaldson's discussion Ioline 300 for Sale"Too bad I already have one. It's such a sweet machine, I don't know why anyone would want to get rid of it. Of course, if you have a laser and a stone setter and a Roland cutter, I guess you might not use it as much. …"

Carolyn Klages replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Using VP540 profiles for VS420?"Dana,
Thanks. I think I'll try all 3 and see which gives me the best result. I appreciate your giving me a couple of different options to try. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the various media and the profiles…"
Dana Curtis replied to Carolyn Klages's discussion Using VP540 profiles for VS420?"Carolyn,
SGP3 is the third generation solvent glossy paper and may be an entirely different manufacturer than we used for the first SGP. Thus the profiles are completely different. However, until FDC gets a proper profile made, SGP3 may be your…"
