I can give you more details after we hopefully can talk on the...

  7. l26500 screen color to print color

    I'm trying to print a job with a dark forest green color background, and no matter how dark I go or light I go with the green, it always prints an army drab green. I've cleaned printheads auto and manually. My ink cartidges are full. I design in RGB. What are some steps I can take or what are...
  8. HDU Sign Failure: Any reason the installation would be the reason for the failure?

    Not sure if you solved your problem yet but I have a easy solution. Take the “L” bracket that’s on the bottom 4x 4 and turn it 45 degree so the L is facing out. Screw it to the 4 x 4 and have the sign rest now on top of the bracket that is facing out. Then screw the sign to the bracket from the...
  9. HDU Sign Failure: Any reason the installation would be the reason for the failure?

    I am no expert. Which would explain why this has happened to me before. But they install brackets with very thin screws and glue it on. Is there job done? Yes. Is it done well and hold up under any weight and pressure? No. So you buy bigger fatter screws that won’t drill through the front when...
  10. designjet l26500 print settings for 10-13oz banner

    I decided to just not use the banner preset in production manager and just use what I typically use for gloss vinyl. Seems to be working fine doing that. Colors match the screen and appear normal. I talked to a technician at Fellers and he said that is common practice. Thanks for all your help...
  11. designjet l26500 print settings for 10-13oz banner

    Alright, cleaned the printheads multiple times. I cleaned off the banner material like you suggested. The banners still come out drab color. But if I put in gloss vinyl the colors are what they should be. I tried putting in a different banner material and still drab colors. If you see anything...
  12. designjet l26500 print settings for 10-13oz banner

    Is a dirty looking print the same as a faded looking color to you? Just trying to figure it out. I will run the cleaning 4-5 times and see. Thanks again for your help. Any more thoughts you have on the issue please feel free to let me know. I will let you know how it goes after the cleaning.
  13. designjet l26500 print settings for 10-13oz banner

    If anyone is willing to help over the phone and walk me through some things to try and fix what might be happening I'm all for it. I can pay you for your time via venmo or whatever. I just shouldnt be having these issues for simple prints. I must be not doing something that is an easy fix. I...
  14. designjet l26500 print settings for 10-13oz banner

    It does smudge. What should I change for my setting?
  15. designjet l26500 print settings for 10-13oz banner

    That did fix the print. So thank you for that. But I have another issue that I cannot figure out as well. That is the color output when I print. This banner was supposed to be gold and green....and it comes out just drab colors. Even if I switch the color mode when designing to cmyk or switch it...
