Try giving it a 1/32” or 1/16” clear border. That should solve the problem. But honestly digital is the way to go.

Are you using a digital acrylic? Digitally printable acrylic should solve the issue if you're printing first then cutting. Or maybe leave a 1/32” clear border so the router bit doesn’t touch the ink when cutting.

The epson s40 printer is one of the best on the market. We’ve retired 3 s30 series and currently have 2 s40’s amongst other types of uv technologies. S40 is the easiest to run and maintain. Pms colors 99% accurate. We have never had any issues in 12+ years with epson. Wish they made a 10’...

That’s a lot of overspray. Let’s see a prime bar test print. If it’s LC then you can run CMYK and that will solve the overspray if it’s coming from your bad LC head.

We had this issue on one of our printers a while ago but a new Ethernet cable fixed it. Have you called epson? Power down, unplug from outlet and restart see what that does.

could be a combination of the wall not being 100% flat and material too thick. Try using a thinner vinyl like 3m180. It’s worked for us in situations like this.

Not sure about that, you can contact HP and ask them direct about your specifics. I assume even if you are not an original contracted owner if parts are available then you could always purchase them.

HP will continue to service and provide parts until 2026.

Can you do a prime bar test and upload a pic? To me it looks like an expired cyan cartridge. You can run the prints in a single pass fine text mode to avoid the overspray.

Amazon has plenty for under $20.

I had this problem with one of my printers several years ago….all we did was change the usb cable. Sometimes they burn out. Good luck.

You cannot use the headboards for the 550 on the 500. That’s what’s causing the problem. The voltage due to wrong headboards is what’s burning the printheads.

Laminated the prints maybe.

Try running this project in single pass (fine text mode) that should do the trick or run it in photo plus. The fade of color on top is either a bad head or an expired ink. Check the date on the black ink…do a prime bar test…that should tell you if it’s the heads or bad ink.

Owners should be the only ones on salary. Outside sales get paid salary + commission. All staff should get paid a healthy hourly rate. Keep it simple.

Try their default quick set. Under generic materials

2 Pass is there. Hit edit quicksets, set print at 4 pass and then Click print options above. 2 pass will show up as one of the options.

HP Latex 800 or Epson Surecolor series all the way!

This one is the best primer for wall graphics. We have gone through several hundred gallons.

With your UV machine you would want to go with a digital ACM. Check with Grimco, their "max metal" digital would be perfect for this.
