  1. HP Latex 370 loading media the wrong width

    Short and sweet - as the title says. I have been using the same 50.5" W (our paper's real/actual size) media for years now, and lately our 370 has been loading it correctly within our normal tolerance of skew, but once it gets loaded, shows up as 46.5" W instead of 50.5" or at least something...
  2. Pinch Roller/Media Slipping on HP DesignJet z6810 60"

    Hey all - looking for some unorthodox advice - we are attempting to print on a relatively heavyweight coated material with a custom coating. Everything is going great except for one huge problem: the coating on the top has a bit of a dusty feel to it, and after loading the material, after a few...
  3. Looking for desktop/small equivalent to HP DesignJet z6810

    Hi all - quick question. My boss and I are planning on going to our paper coater's facility for a production run in the next month or so. Due to our manufacturing process, we buy a custom-made paper that requires special coating, but we are tweaking the coating still to make sure we lock in what...
  4. Super slow processing speed on HP DesignJet z6810

    Hey folks, I have an unusual problem both I cannot diagnose and neither can our IT guy. We have installed Onyx Thrive RIP on both a local PC here at my office, as well as a virtual PC that is located off-site at our corporate office, but which I can access remotely and control. Our one z6810 is...
  5. HP DesignJet z6810

    Brief question.... am I crazy/missing something, or is this just a design flaw in this printer? When a cartridge runs out of ink mid-job, can the z6810 really not pick up where it left off, as its predecessor (the z6100) did? This is so ridiculous. When a cartridge runs out, I can no longer just...
  6. Need Help DesignJet z6810 printing light band at front head of each print

    Title is my issue... I replaced the Magenta-Yellow print heads in my HP DesignJet z6810 on Tuesday, and it seems like since then, when I print anything from our normal Onyx RIP, no settings having been changed, the front 1" or so will be a lighter color than the rest of the print. In darker...
  7. Need Help Please help me understand why my Onyx color profiles won't correctly handle chromatic red ink.

    Really struggling here... let me see if I can explain this. I work in a shop with one HP DesignJet z6100 and now we have purchased an HP DesignJet z6810 as well. We aren't TOO concerned with profiling the one to match the other (as one printer would need to be 'dumbed down' to match the other's...
  8. Need Help Looking to buy a phased-out JVV Triangle / INX ink for Mimaki JV-33. PLEASE!!

    I'll keep it short and sweet - would any Mimaki JV-33 or JV-5 users out there happen to have an extra bulk cartridge of ink I could buy from you? Triangle JVV Eco Solvent, 2 liter, Magenta. Having never been notified of this change by our supplier (because we only buy very little ink), we just...
  9. Suggestions Piezoelectric vs. Thermal Printheads - looking for pros and cons

    Hi all, We're in the market for new printers. Trying to upgrade our current fleet after looking at some things at ISA this year. One thing I did not love is that when you're at shows like that, of course each vendor is trying to convince you that their technology is superior to the other...
  10. Unsatisfactory overspray/text quality printing with HP Latex 370

    Hey all, Just looking for some suggestions. I've been spending some time building media profiles on our HP Latex 370 printer, and it seems that no matter what I set my passes, vacuum temperature, dry temperature, and/or optimizer levels to, I just can't get areas of small-ish text (6-18 pt) to...
  11. Building a new profile in Onyx RIP and test print doesn't print Pantone Black!

    Hi all, I'm looking for some clues as to why my issue is happening. In short, I am in the beginning stages of building a new ICC profile for one of our printers using Onyx 12.1. After going through the lengthy process of building my first profile from scratch, I found that when I printed one of...
  12. Color dropping out on Mimaki JV33-160

    One of the yellows keeps dropping out randomly while printing. At first, I assumed it was caused by air in the lines somewhere. So I syringed it and it would work for a time and then drop out again. I then replaced both the yellow dampers. Problem still happened. I just tried swapping the...
