I hate to resurrect an old thread... but I need this done, and HP says they have never heard of this being covered... and want to charge me 3k to do this. Does anyone have a link to some documentation?

I am about to buy an HP 800 - wanted to make sure I am not about to screw up. LOL. What are your thoughts about the 800 vs the UV Mimaki? I have had mimaki printers for 11 years, and when researching the newest printers, the HP800 really appealed to me. I'm tired of breathing in solvents all...

Do I have to have a certain firmware to make this work? I recall in years past that Mimaki had changed firmware to check for serial numbers in the jv33 (my old printer thats now a boat anchor in the corner) and you couldnt install a non oem head in there.

Good lord, $2600 for a freaking print head? ANy sources out there for print heads? Had a head strike and cant recover an area in magenta and it's leaving banding. I can print 12 pass or higher and its almost acceptable, but completely slows my productivity. Won't lie, i really hate how epson...

Does this Look familiar? Had to trace it, as it was a photo of a visor with the letter embroidered on it... Im going to be so mad when someone points out that it's really common :/

After the rollback and updating rasterlink 6 to the newest version, i am printing again. It looks like windows is trying to force its 32 bit driver onto rasterlink. (thats what the error message I just got told me) I was worried it wouldnt work at all. So - after the update in july nuking hot...

Just need to vent. Came in this morning, and couldnt access files on my rip computer. Go over to the pc, and it looks different. I didnt think anything of it, until i noticed Rasterlink wasnt open, and once opened it didnt see my printer. So, i uninstall printer, and try to detect again...

How old is your machine, and what firmware are you using?

this is why i dont wrap cars anymore. not worth the headache

I am running 5.0 - I will take a look at it next week when I am not completely snowed under with work. Its a good problem to have, but its still a problem. Thank you! -Pete

I think the favorites tab works with the hot folder... and some windows 10 update in July nuked that for now. Anyone else experienced this?

All that said, you should be able to tell your client that Oracal 210 will last 3-5 years in most applications. I wouldn't put it on a car, and I cant think of any horizontal applications where it would be outside all the time. Vertical sun facing signs have held up at least that long here...

Edited. I told myself I wasnt going to get in this stupid back and forth.. and im not. It's yalls business how you do business :)

Broker for the first year or two and expect to lose money... slowly you will become profitable.

Oh brother... not every sign you put out there needs to be cast vinyl. A product should last as long as the manufacturer says it will - that's the issue. I have signs made with cast vinyl out there that look great after 6 years... and those customers willingly paid for the premium materials...
