I know this sucks, but this is one area where not really using custom profiles comes in handy! If the firmware changes the color output, sometimes it's easier for me to just slightly adjust the image in photoshop to make it print the way I want.... :/ The drawback to this is: if profiles...

Ahhhh, well forgive my haste, then! Now I notice there's a sample of this wallcovering in a 2016 LexJet calender we received. I glanced over thinking it was the same product we had used previously!

Thanks for the info, fellas. I've used the HP PVC Free before, but for whatever reason my installer didn't like the dunking-in-water application. He basically refused to use the stuff (even though I've installed a sample of it at the shop and thought it was not only very easy, but looked good)...

Hello all, I'm looking for a smooth, matte Type II vinyl for printing on the HP Latex series printers. I use Dreamscape vinyls a lot, and most of them print great. However, I've been burned a couple times by inconsistent rolls of their Matte Vinyl. It's a good looking product, and we've done...

Yeah, I was reluctant to go through with another set-up because I didn't want it to possibly lose the RIP log or any saved jobs, etc. etc. Just had to re-enter the IP address (which hadn't changed, not sure why it wasn't recognizing the printer anymore) and it's back up and running. Not a...

Okay, so today I went to open Flexi just like any day. Some message popped up about missing preferences or something. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and clicked it away like it was nothing, before realizing what it said. Now Flexi isn't seeing the printer, and it keeps asking me to change the...

This x1000. Maybe through something solid, no doubt. I'm sure these work fine on billboards. A fabric banner that's literally sailing in the breeze? Pretty sure just poking a hole in it would rip it to shreds sooner rather than later. The spring itself is a fine idea. I would feel safe with...

Cool! We have the same issue, a couple cuts in our top roller. However, apparently the diameters of the rolls on our jet mounter aren't the same size. We called a tech at Drytac to ask about this exact thing, and they told us it wouldn't work. Maybe it's a model difference, but I wasn't sure...

Thanks for all the replies guys, but it looks like the client has chosen to go another route anyway! I needed the double sided paper for a really big Christmas card. Wanted something that would resemble a fine art paper or be of a heavier stock. I'll keep the latex paper in mind, Big Fish...

Hello all, I have been searching for wide format double sided papers. Preferably the paper would be moderately heavy and thick, at least 7 mil. I am mostly interested in fine art papers, but at this point anything archival and matte might do. I have found sheets that are 38'' wide but they are...

It is my understanding that yes, it is. However, the auto alignment can be skewed by the type of media on which you are running the test. The user guide says to use a substrate that has no texture, is white, and isn't too glossy. I know I've run the auto alignment on a poor media choice and it...

Hahahahaha, yeah that whole thing is a complete joke.

:)

You sound like the people I see described around here by the old timers as "small shops driving down the market". I say congratulations. To my knowledge, the big guys charge outrageous prices because they can. No shame in smaller shops bidding low. Good job, you're earned it. :)

What material are you printing on that is leaving an oily print? You either need to increase the heat, set the inter-pass delay to a higher interval (thus leaving the print in the curing area longer) or use more passes during printing with possibly a lower ink saturation (this also leaves the...

That's a very good idea, and was going to be my recommendation. When we do things like face-mounting prints to acrylic, sometimes we get a similar flaw. If you can't increase the pressure on your mounter/laminator, you can only slow it down. However, be sure not to stop it or you'll get a solid...

Excellent information, thanks. Pretty sure we just use the 3M Controltac ij180c profile when we print to 70/30 perf on our HP L330, when using Flexi as the RIP with color correction ON. Might give it a shot if you aren't making any progress. Just make sure to watch the temps. That 3M profile...

This is only going to get worse. Makerbots, 3d printing, small DIY CNC Routers, and guys doing hydrographics in their bathtub will be the downfall. Automation helps big guys just as much as it does the small-timers.

Nah, he measures a full cartridge and it's 700 ml. Just like everything else in this capitalistic world....it's a rip-off.

Just going to throw my $0.02 out there..... I like DIY. I have no problem with you coming here asking for help or knowledge. I understand why others might take it a little personally, and I understand I my opinion matters very little. I don't do vehicle wraps (been trying to get the boss to...
