I got 3 box in total. I've confirmed with the tech that I've received everything I need. I've got this before the holidays and still waiting for my appointment.

Yes, It's covered by HP even if the printer is out of warranty like in my case. I've received a box of parts about the size of a mini-fridge (I did not open it). I'm waiting for the tech to make the update. Everything is free of charge. Contact your dealer about this.

I think your problem is the advance calibration due to the thickness of the material. Try to copy the profile and make an advance calibration. Maybe it will adjust it.

We use 3m scps-53x when using the 3M dusted or all this series. Work very well to pick-up the film and easily take off when wet. Even on small parts.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a white material not clear like the overlaminate.

You don't have a ''fuzzy'' look with reverse print on 3651? I use optically clear film for that kind of application.

Like the title says, I'm looking for a white PET film with permanent adhesive that is compatible with latex ink (HP 700w). I've been looking for this for quite some time know and the closest one I've found is compatible with UV ink only. All suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, 60% can be used but if the print go on an outside window and you have text both side, the white is not opaque enough. But if the visual is the same on each side (no mirror), 60% is perfect. Even printed on white vinyl, I've tested the 3 layers at 60% and I could see the colors through the...

We mostly print spot white only. Either in 6 passes or 12 passes. So speed is similar to regular printing. We also do white flood for second surface mounting. We print with a window perf pattern to install on the interior side and customers prefer it to using tape and it's less expensive than...

I got a 700w for almost 2 years now and never had a problem other than it was my fault. Latest updates changed few details and HP is making a free parts upgrades. I've received the big box and waiting for the tech to install everything (not sure what are the upgrades). My last printer was a...

I had a china manual laminator before and was able to do acceptable jobs. Now we have a kala mistral 1650 for two years and would have bought it well before if I new what it was capable of and how fast it get work done. I do full roll of laminate in less than 20min including setting-up the...

Did you ever tried Hexis? How is it compared to Avery and 3M? I know very well I'm not starting with something easy. This is why I do it over the winter. And my beer fridge is in the garage, less than 4 feet of the motorcycle lift. ;)

I'm in Canada. From my current suppliers, the brand I can have by the yard is 3M, Avery, Hexis and Metamark.

I've been in the sign business for almost 20 years now but we don't do vehicles. I would like to try wrapping my motorcycle (indian challenger) this winter to change the color and would like to know what brand/series of material I should choose. My first idea was going with 3M or avery but I...

On drywall, I use 3m 4492B (that is a 30mil tape that won't destroy the drywall when removed) or 3M 4910 in 40mil if the letter are big (over 6 inches). Make sure to use a minimum of 20mil thick tape, but I recommend to go 30mil and over.
