  1. Question for anyone with a Seal 400 (or 600?) laminator

    Hi James, Here's the valve I replaced. It screws directly to the inside of the cabinet with two long screws, and then the solenoid screws on to it. It was stuck or jammed and wouldn't open (or close), so air was escaping. I'll PM Bill Moxley's cell number.
  2. Illustrator Alignment fail.

    What app? InDesign? I have InDesign CS6 on a Mac and here's how it works for me: In Align panel, under "Align to," select "Align to Selection." Select all (Cmd-A). In Align panel, click on Align Left Edges icon (upper left).
  3. Seal 62 Plus height adjust

    I can't help you, but I bet Bill Moxley can. Semi-retired laminator tech. Super nice guy, and has some parts for older Seal laminators. I will PM his cell number.
  4. HP 360 Print problem

    New printheads have ink in them? I did not know that. New knowledge! Thanks!
  5. HP 360 Print problem

    I was questioning balstestrat about the need to shake the printheads. I understand the importance of shaking the ink cartridges, but I've never heard that it was necessary to shake the printheads.
  6. HP 360 Print problem

    Shake the printheads?
  7. Bid package nightmare

    If you think that's a lot of words, wait till you see the contract if you win the project. Last one we got was over 80 pages.
  8. Need Help Perforated Vinyl Problems - HP Latex 365

    I also had problems running perf on my 365. My suggestion will sound counter-intuitive, but it made all the difference for me: less weight on the dancer bar. Try installing the counter weights that were included with the printer. I had tried lowering the heat, increasing the vacuum, and...
  9. Styrene vs Sintra, what's the difference?

    What Boudica said. I use the 16-lb, two-part Command Strips all the time for hanging temporary exhibit panels mounted on gatorfoam or PVC and they work perfectly. They stay up as long as you need them to, and remove cleanly when it’s time to take them down. I get them in bulk on Amazon, 120...
  10. Installation code of conduct agreement?

    It's my understanding that a business cannot require a 1099 contractor to wear specific clothing. My wife is staffing manager for a large catering company, and all of her part-time servers (she has dozens) have to be W-2 employees because they are required to wear black shirts, pants, and shoes...
  11. Any independent service technicians?

    If you're the least bit handy and have the 300-series service manual, don't be afraid to try this yourself. I've been running HP large-format printers since 1998 and I've never paid for a service call. The service manuals take you through the procedures step-by-step.
  12. HP RIP only software option?

    It's listed as a product on their website (thinksai.com/hplatex), but I don't see a purchase option. Couldn't hurt to ask though.
  13. Recommendations for High Traffic Floor Application

    3M 40C-20R vinyl with 3M 3645 overlaminate. 3645 laminate is expensive, but incredibly tough.
  14. HP RIP only software option?

    My HP365 came with FlexiPRINT HP Basic Edition which works fine for me. Like you, I only use it to send files to the printer. No monthly subscription.
  15. Easymount hot and cold laminator

    Try softening the old adhesive with 99% isopropyl, then removing it with a rubber cement pickup.
