  1. printhead misfiring/Metal threads poking out from behind rear carriage rod || HP latex 110

    Hello, We have had an issue with our HP latex 110 for a while now, but it has been constrained to just the far left of the printing zone so we have not worried about it. Recently it has started appearing all across the printing zone however. I have tried replacing printheads and ink repeatedly...
  2. Bubbles appearing in last half of Orajet 3164m

    This is really helpful information actually. Thank you for sending this. It is easier to justify buying more heaters for the shop when you've got hard numbers to back it up. I'm glad to hear someone else has experienced this. Our batch of 3164m just arrived about two weeks ago, but I can't see...
  3. Bubbles appearing in last half of Orajet 3164m

    That's an interesting point about humidity. We keep our room at around 50% humidity, which is what the shelf life recommendations are for our vinyl, but I wonder if that's a bit too high when paired with the winter cold.
  4. Bubbles appearing in last half of Orajet 3164m

    I don't think I know what you mean by unravel the vinyl. We just load it into the machine normally. That's what I thought about the temperature though. I'll look into getting a few more heaters.
  5. Bubbles appearing in last half of Orajet 3164m

    Hello. So it seems ever since it started getting really chilly this winter we've begun having issues with our Orajet 3164m developing bubbles, before we even print onto it, and only partway into the roll too which is very inconvenient. We use an HP Latex 110. The room rarely gets below 40 even...
  6. Horizontal lamination marks with Sigmont 55H Royal Sovereign

    I never quite solved the problem, but I did notice that the dents were occurring on our substrate prior to lamination after all. It was difficult to notice before lamination, but they were there for sure. After moving onto a new roll of substrate the issue actually disappeared completely so it...
  7. Horizontal lamination marks with Sigmont 55H Royal Sovereign

    We've noticed it on several different rolls of 210sg. I was suspicious that it could be a bad batch of laminate which got damaged while it was being made. We don't really use any other types of laminate besides a few samples I have lying around for side projects so I haven't noticed it on...
  8. Horizontal lamination marks with Sigmont 55H Royal Sovereign

    Surprisingly no. It's a new roller and we've been extra careful about it. I just double checked and the roll is still in great condition. They don't happen regularly either, as in for every spin of the roll these marks don't appear.
  9. Horizontal lamination marks with Sigmont 55H Royal Sovereign

    Hello. Occasionally we have been getting these horizontal dashes of what look like indentations/dents in our prints after laminating. They look like laminate bubbles, but they don't appear to have any depth like a bubble would. They don't appear often enough to be too problematic and we don't...
  10. Vertical banding/greasy spots on solid prints

    Hello. We have been trying to print some solid orange prints for a few days now, but we've been getting this terrible banding. I've attached a photo below. We use an hp latex 110 with Orafol 3164m vinyl. The room we're printing in has been quite hot lately, upwards of 83 degrees while we've...
  11. Gbc titan 165: out of control, unresponsive

    Is there a way we could check if this is our issue? Do you have any recommendations to fix this?
  12. Gbc titan 165: out of control, unresponsive

    There is no speed knob on ours. I tried lowering the speed while it was running to no effect. I wonder if it is some kind of crossed wire in the control panel
  13. Gbc titan 165: out of control, unresponsive

    Hello, this morning our titan 165 was working perfectly well, but when I turned the machine back on the second time today it began running at full speed, without any controls on the control panel working or affecting it at all. The motor will only stop running when I turn the machine off or the...
  14. 54" Wide Black Self Adhesive Viny?

    Hey I was wondering if anyone had any information on where to purchase black self adhesive vinyl at this dimension. I'm having a really hard time finding anyone who supplies 54" x 50 yards. My laminator is loaded with 54" wide Briteline which is why the specific dimension is needed for the...
  15. Flexi Print "cannot Open Port" Error

    Hey thanks for the input! We hadn't switched the HP 110 to auto detect IP. Once we manually input it the problem was solved! Thanks!
