  1. Backlits, How are you doing them?

    We are looking at samples from CET and Oce and noticed the 2 layer (color/white) on plexi is not producing a quality backlit. You almost have to go the route of the 3 layer (color/white/color) to get it right. We currently print our backlits off the LX850 on the HP backlit film and using...
  2. CET Color print quality?

    The tech at Advantage that printed the samples misunderstood what the salesmen was asking for. Looks like the printer might have also need a nozzle check before printing. They are going to send out new samples after the first of March. I really want to see what the Q series can do. It's...
  3. CET Color print quality?

    They ran the samples reverse print on clear plexi. When you light up the piece, the white is not bright and I notice the white looks banded on the back. The samples off the Arizona have smooth white
  4. CET Color print quality?

    just got our samples from advantage off the Q series and I have to say compared to the prints from the oce Arizona 460, they look bad. Colors aren't as vivid and the white is more yellow. Is this common or operator error on the sample prints
  5. HP Perm Matte Vinyl coming off?

    Anyone using the HP Perm Matte Vinyl on a HP Latex machine and experiencing it curling off what ever it's mounted to? Don't know if it's the fact we overlam them or is a temp change later down the road from shipping We have to laminate our latex prints because they are all for tradeshow...
  6. AGFA Anapurna M2540 FB?

    Quick question, anyone have the 2540 FB currently? Any feedback good or bad is welcome. We are currently narrowing our flatbed selection and it's on our list. I know alot of people on here are fans of CET Color, don't worry the Q series is also on the list. We are headed to Oce's demo...
  7. Cleaning fabric AFTER Dye Sub?

    We deal with the 8864 (white,white,white) which is almost the same as 8873 and we spot clean with distilled water and oxy clean power mix. What are you trying to clean off of the fabric?
  8. Advantage Sign Supply Tech Service?

    Did a little searching on here and I like what I'm reading about Advantage. I know from personal experience with Advantage they got us ink for our LX850 even though they are not the ones that sold/service our machine. Apparently HP doesn't like when that happens.
  9. Advantage Sign Supply Tech Service?

    We are looking at getting a UV Flatbed to take over the good old print, laminate and mount process we've been doing for over 5 years. Advantage Sign is selling CET Color and just wondering if anyone here has had experience with their tech service. I know HP's tech service for our LX850 is...
  10. Oce Arizona 460 XT

    I skipped over that printer when looking at the Xpress 500 and 500H. Glad you posted the link, very nice looking machine!
  11. Oce Arizona 460 XT

    Ok, before I contact Oce (Canon) and get the sales reps on me. Does anyone happen to have an idea of some pricing related to the Arizona 460 XT or even the 440. I'm guessing the mid-high 100's. My company has begun the "homework" stage of purchasing a UV flatbed, so I'm gathering as much info...
  12. are they failing that often? (Print Heads)

    We have an LX850, almost a year running. We don't do a ton of volume, 37,000 sqft so far, 22 of that is polyster fabric and we've gone through one full set of heads.
  13. HP LX850 Black fade on Polyester

    Ok, contacted HP, tech told me the 850 has a hard time producing solid colors on fabric (wish someone would have told us this before we dropped the $200k on the printer) Regardless, no way to slow the carriage so I tried everything the tech and I could think of, I also have the service...
  14. HP LX850 Black fade on Polyester

    NLC has been great for us. They had techs out here for days fixing a ink delivery problem and cyan ink spraying incident right after install. Mike Lynch is my go to guy! I'll see if their is a way to slow that carriage down, thanks
  15. Cleaning Rollers on a laminator...

    Iso alcohol and the eraser block is what I've been using for the past 6 years...our AGL rep says we have the cleanest machine he's seen!
  16. HP LX850 Black fade on Polyester

    I thought it might be the black head losing pressure, checked the head and connects, made sure the o-rings that fit into the top of the head were lubed and not dry. Looks good, I've even tried a second head that we have in stock, same thing. When I colored calibrated the fabric, the ink...
  17. HP LX850 Black fade on Polyester

    We print our fabric at 250% ink density, 18 pass uni, you can't get any higher on the LX850. We found this to be the best way to get dense blacks...to bad it decides to flake out. I should note it's horizontally faded, so it's in the path of the printheads
  18. HP LX850 Black fade on Polyester

    We've had our LX850 since last August and we primarily print Fisher Textiles GF4417 Soft Knit. Just printed a 33ft banner with a lot of black. Noticed about 3/4 through the black got lighter for about a foot and then back to normal again. This isn't the first time this has happened. HP can't...
