Mr. Frog what color channel Black are you using? 100% Black is what I use on the 1800. Also on more options tab do you have color correction on auto and Bidirectional checked?
I have no option of black color channels, and use RGB black in all art I create. No to the bi-directional option. I've attached the details of the settings visible option on this shot And, yes, this machine is on Windows 11

Yeah, so I do use waterproof film and that was used as test when first got printer. Think some of the issue is that my print window is not what Mr. Frog posted. I checked the other computer, and it is same there as Frogs is. Which is a great start to retest the 15000 with settings. The only difference I see offhand is the new computer runs Win11 and old is on Win 10. Will try and test this weekend been fighting my 1800 to get some films done for work this weekend.

Its good to hear that you have moved to outsource your work. You have always been inspiration to me and I am sure to old crew from back in day from original Forum (The one Barnes Destroyed) Dont even remember name been so long. I was banned 2 days after Robert took over. There was years of great print information on that site. Think Hirsch wound up with it from memory and then poof gone.
One place read last year was this one talking about the sensor to read the paper. I think my problem and theirs is I did not have the selection of correct paper. Search "Issues printing transparencies with ET-15000" on Reddit has one conversation about issue.

Acetone is extremely flammable, especially in aerosol form. Yes it works but the reason they use dcm instead is exactly that. I know it doesn't seem like much but you're pumping an already flammable solvent up to super high pressures and then aerosolizing it, all in the palm of your hand. Potential for a lot of things to go very wrong.

I havent used spotting fluid in years. we just use acetone. same thing. the only issue we ever have is on garment dyed stuff like comfort colors but you just let it air dry instead of running in dryer again and its all good.

So google thinks I'm a chemist or something but I stumbled across an article outlining the coming ban on dichloromethane. The name rang a bell and it's the main component of most (all?) spotting fluids. Not sure if we fall under the consumer (phased out over the next year) or industry (two years) section but either way it's going bye bye.
If you've ever been to a dry cleaners you'll hear the guns going in the background non stop so I'm sure an alternative and hopefully less gnarly solution will be introduced.

I'll be interested in hearing the solution here. I've always thought paper loading (or failure) was a physical action, not an optical one of "seeing" a successful load vs. a "trigger" sensor switch indication. Color me curious.

It's just taking up room in my garage. Good shape older 6x6 M&R Chameleon with side clamps and 16x22 pallets. I have 3 no name flashes as well. $750.00 for all of it. You haul it or pay for shipping. I have no way to get it on a truck. If you want pictures I can send or try to figure out to put them on here. Located in Cedar Rapids, IA (that's Iowa). I'll throw in a '06 Sportster XL 1200 C for $3,000. The wife wants them both gone. Otherwise it might be me that's gone. Message me if interested
