"Agree on all stated. Remember you have 2 years from the date on the cartridge on the ink. Not from when last used. What you will see pass the experience is cleaning more often and during jobs, but you can still used the ink while the machine does…"

Took me some time to understand why my Dual started to need the Win10 computer to reboot before it starts RIPing. Otherwise it gets stuck at 1% forever... Restarting the Dual does not help. First…Continue

"The scraper is located directly behind the wiper rail. Put machine into wiper replacement. Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover plate. Take a pic of how it rests on the bracket. To remove carefully push up and pull out at the bottom.

"Thanks Butch and irv !
The ink is OEM only for since day 0. Just checked expiration of current ink and it has plenty time ahead.
The wipers and tops are about 3 years old (but the machine works on average hour a day). But I will replace the wipers…"
"Agree with all said, plus tops - how old are they - it is a drainage issue. A printer will run, expired ink and 3rd party ink more frequently - based on the chip."
"First, are you using OEM ink? Aftermarket inks tend to clog the sponge more frequently and also requiring more manual cleaning of the heads.
The surge sponge requires replacing/cleaning periodically. You can clean the sponge by pressing paper towels…"
SP-300V needs very frequent manual cleaning
HiLately we started noticing that our SP-300V leaves smear marks at the start of the print and sometimes on the clamps. Usually manual cleaning solves the problem. It is just lately I noticed that I need to clean it really often.. Like almost every day (the machine works barely hour a day).While cleaning I started noticing that the the sponge that is in front of the wipers always full of a lot of sticky ink. Like a lot of. I have a feeling that it is this sticky ink which causes the problem.The…See More
"Thanks for the info for some are still using Dual and will benefit from it.
I do have a question - why did you not update to VW6x? Dual had a short life for a reason. Any computer that will run Dual can run the VW 6X version which is newer,…"
chrome prevents Versaworks Dual from ripping !
Took me some time to understand why my Dual started to need the Win10 computer to reboot before it starts RIPing. Otherwise it gets stuck at 1% forever... Restarting the Dual does not help. First suspected temp files as those get deleted on reboot. Then experimented a bit more and found out chrome is to be the culprit. I think it started after the last chrome update a week ago or so. As long as chrome is running AND any web page is open (if just chrome, not active tabs - no problem) - VWD will…See More
"Do not do it - media was curling on one side and I was being quick not wise
I love the short no need to take them out. I tried the short clamps on the VS models but still detected, ON the SG/VG2 they put a groove in the clamp and motors on the…"
"irv, just to learn something new - what is the use case of using a long clamp on one side and a short one on the other ?
thanks"
"I have only seen the blade, and on all the machines from the days I see the grove in the clamps, but no one admits they cut it. The knife in the holder is on a magnet - the only thing holding it - so it is meant to give with too much resistance."
"is it just the blade that will go or can the accident harm the cutting carriage/motor(s)?
if it is just the blade - I can take the risk, but if it is the assembly that can get damaged ... don't know what to do. That old machine is a part of the…"
"It has been a while since I used that feature on the machine - setting to long does it remind you?
I am a seasoned user back in the old days and have cut over long clamps - especially when I use a small on one side and a long on the other. So, ish…"
SP-300v clamps detection somehow ?
We are going to hire a part-time employee. While being generally worried about letting someone who is not us near the machines (sp-300v, vs-300i, gr540) I am particularly worried about the clamps thing on SP-300V.We ALWAYS print with the long media clamps. However, we keep "None" as the clamps type in SP settings. It saves a lot of time and effort while cutting sheets. So we are just super attentive and cautious when cutting sheets (remove clamps, cut sheet, reinstall clamps).About an employee…See More
"GREAT to hear about no stalls - only"
"it is because of your comment about grounding that I started to do experiments ( planned briefly to de-ground it - NOT RECOMMENDED, I know, but was ready with protective gear :) )
Luckily, the (temporal) solution emerged just before that "
