  1. Font Similar to Pittsburgh Pirates That I Can't Identify

    VanillaWhaleW90-Regular Regular Or Vanilla Whale. It looks like there are different versions of this font so you may have to mess around with a few options. https://www.fontke.com/family/1530427/
  2. GRAYS COMING OUT PURPLISH - HP LATEX & FLEXI

    Confirm if your media supplier changed their formulation or factory that builds it for them. I've had several medias sold, and purchased under the same brand name, model number, etc. and after having print issues and follow up with sales & technicians it ended up that there were indeed actual...
  3. HP Latex 110, Paper Media Puckering/Buckling Results in Crease

    Brad Gallant All good tips. I have been in the process of moving most of our media profiles to higher passes to allow me to get the curing temps down. I also increase the interpass delay on some medias to help with the ink drying. I did run a test on Kernow Coatings, Ultimate 230STL (PET film)...
  4. Electric paper cutters (guillotines)

    That will be the perfect machine to get started. I can't remember if that one has the hand crank to tighten the back blade or not? But it will work. I did find with our old cutter that the hand crank was sometimes difficult to manage accurate cuts with tall stacks of glossy paper or sticker...
  5. HP Latex 110, Paper Media Puckering/Buckling Results in Crease

    The job length doesn't seem to matter, for any job that would end up touching the floor we always use the table. I think we should look at experimenting with some sort of a skid/sled as you suggest attached under the heater and try this at different angles to see what happens. The China take-up...
  6. HP Latex 110, Paper Media Puckering/Buckling Results in Crease

    balstestrat True the 110 didn't come with a take-up and that may be a solution for larger run jobs. We always avoid having any of our prints hitting the floor. We place a large 8x4-ft, 34-inch tall table in front of the printer to receive the printed pieces. When doing this we have experimented...
  7. HP Latex 110, Paper Media Puckering/Buckling Results in Crease

    We’ve been troubled with this for a while now. On many media’s when we print as the paper exits the machine after being printed it puckers/buckles and that results in a crease in the finished and printed product. I will attach photos that will hopefully better show the issue. The photos are from...
  8. What is a used HP Latex 110 Printer worth

    I have mixed feelings about our HP Latex 110. We've had to have service here 2 times to fix it and we find it quite a bit of work to get media's profiled and linearized. We have a lot of issues with some media buckling and warping which causes head strikes. For the most part the machine works...
  9. Suggestions Aftermarket or 3rd Party Inks for HP Z6200 Photo

    Since the covid shut-down we elected to take the HP Z6200 offline as the price of ink and consumables was not competitive. I was considering moth balling the machine but then someone suggested that maybe I could find more affordable aftermarket ink? Looking for thoughts, considerations and...
  10. Need Help RIP Software

    Perhaps scour the used market to see if you can buy an older copy of some RIP software? We have used Sai Flexi in the past with an old Mutoh that died, we used Caldera for years with our 2 HP wide formats and have recently switched to PrintFactory. Honestly I have been so busy with creative work...
  11. The Great Canning Jar Shortage?

    Interesting fact. I assumed that all weed was stored in baggies or ziplocks. Smoking pot is legal in our province now and I find it interesting on how many homes smell of pot when I go on my nightly walk with the dog.
  12. Need Help Dark colors = greasy spots on my HP latex HELP!

    I have this same problem.
  13. Need Help HP Latex 360 prints have wet spots! Help! Always in same area. Not drying

    We have had very similar issues with our HP Latex 110. It's beyond frustrating. We've had the tecs check everything and clean vents and it still happens.
  14. Anyone seeing a slowdown due to coronavirus?

    We had 3 clients cancel jobs yesterday. Ontario, Canada.
  15. HP Latex 110 - Heat Airflow Pressure

    It's beyond frustrating and we've essentially had this issue since day-1 with this printer. And we bought it brand new out of the box but it was sitting in the resellers warehouse for years in original HP crates and packaging. I'm trying to find a how-to video or book on how to do this.
  16. HP Latex 110 - Heat Airflow Pressure

    I've had these thoughts but there was a comment from our reseller/service provider that mentioned that, quote: "Judging by the pictures, it looks like there isn’t enough heat getting the that one spot. This is most likely due to dust etc trapped inside the curing module. The only way to fully...
  17. HP Latex 110 - Heat Airflow Pressure

    I think you've misunderstood what I tried to communicate. On the HP I do test to limit my ink with the built in method which usually is around 80 to100%. Then I often will further ink limit when I linearize further in my rip software. The rips software refers to total ink limits in cmyk 400%...
  18. HP Latex 110 - Heat Airflow Pressure

    It is pretty darn slow. I only run the 380% on the PET film as it seems to carry the load. On vinyl I have it backed off to about 200%, 12-pass. We put a heat laser on the media as it was coming out of the printer and noticed a wide spread of heat. In the hottest spots the media was at about...
  19. HP Latex 110 - Heat Airflow Pressure

    All medias, but most noticeable on PET films and Vinyls that cannot handle high heat. I've been runnning a PET film at 80 to 92%C, 16-pass and have reduced ink limiting in my profile to 380%
