No the film itself is fine, just the ink. Lintec were due to have a latex-compatible version in October 2021 but has had delays.

I have tried a few optically clear films over the years on different printers, nothing got close to lintecs, until they bring out a new one for Latex, I’ll stick to running it on my UV

We’ve not heard anything about lintec releasing latex version yet. HP have recommended DryTac to us but not had a chance to use it yet.

Our final straw was when we had a huge fail with the alignments on a recent wall covering. -. We had to strip off the wallcovering and pay for decorators to make good and paint the wall again before running all 140m again on our Arizona. Same file, same rip, same method on an 11 year old...

Honestly, no idea. - Our rep suggested we had stretched it by over-tensioning it on the laminator. - If you managed to get vinyl to stretch 30mm on release liner, the two would separate. We’ve recently updated the firmware, no improvement. - I have now resorted to printing with the RMO unit...

Are these issues with the whole 2300 range? - we had been looking at the 2380 model, this is a little bit concerning

Will give the manual figure a go. - Thanks for the reply, really appreciate your contribution to this thread.

For testing, we printed an image on our flatbed and the same file on the HP. - It steps out 6mm across less than 2m. Across a 3.2m drop of wallcovering, its stepping out by 30mm every drop. "The case has been escalated with HP". - Great, where does that leave us and production? - It's painful.

And again...

Another day another headache.... We've had barely any issues with tiled files for around the 6 months. - Now the past 3 jobs have needed re-printing. The only thing we've done differently is updating the firmware. - Surely that wouldn't have an impact...

Noted, thanks.

So run some manual head alignment. - OP was miles out, and replaced the 3 week old head. - This is the results. - Look ok? I'm not 100% what to look for when it comes to the OP

wibble

Thanks will give the manual align a go. I don’t think we can make any alterations to the generic profiles. - We have had issues in the past with optimiser, it was my first thought, the engineer seemed to be happy it was firing. I might see if there’s a way to do a test draw on optimiser to...

Thanks for the advice guys, attached are the actual tests on a generic SAV profile.
