  1. HELP! Window Perf hates HP LATEX

    ... I maybe mis-remembering an old post... didn't someone say the BL perf was just rebranded GF perf? I am asking here as I cannot find the reference I think I am remembering..... I have run quite a bit of the Briteline as well as some generic from Kelly/Spicers through a 700w without problems.
  2. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    yeah, whoever decided on these definitions never took a chemistry class... just be aware there is significant overlap in the actual process than what these terms indicate. Anything that can be used to color things is a pigment. Pigments can be mechanically or self adhered to where they behave...
  3. self employment and banks

    from a different perspective - this may just be too small of a loan. just some random easy to work with numbers as an example: $12k for 5 years at 10% interest - $3,297.87 is total interest the bank collects. Now this $3k has to pay for all the people-hours to create the loan, the minimal but...
  4. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    .. I feel comfortable with my understanding of what is happening chemically with these - again, if you clarify the actual final result you are looking for you may find there are many more solutions you are looking for than what you are looking at by restricting your knowledge to the...
  5. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    I know the difference from a chemical background - not sure what definition you are using. the general difference from a chemical standpoint is how the color is adhered - inks use binders, dyes adhere themselves. pigments are used to color things and can made to work as dyes in some areas, but...
  6. Grimco and Epson Issue

    you have a good point - I am a little concerned that the OP says he actually has a statement in writing from the Grimco regional manager that the pricing and promotion would still be honored and held until a specified time (new location)... Sales hyperbole and puffery is one thing, but a...
  7. HP Latex 315 Keeps Printing Gray as Blue/Purple After Replacing LC/LM and M/Y Printheads

    Actually - isn't this EXACTLY what HP has us do with the white printheads? they just put a rotating chamber to store them in so the white ink hopefully doesn't clump too much.
  8. HP Latex 315 Keeps Printing Gray as Blue/Purple After Replacing LC/LM and M/Y Printheads

    if you run a lot of low-quality images that do not require all the nozzles to fire, older printheads can save a lot of money - the extreme of this is another poster here prints onto textured media. He even requests people to send him their old printheads so he can use those rather than purchase...
  9. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    I like this new approach - like the old effect of scanning a crinkled sheet of paper so the final looks like a crinkled then flattened sheet. I would seriously caution (more for personal beliefs than capitalism) to watch the quality - when photographs went from analog emulsion to digital we...
  10. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    if you haven't checked them, I still recommend it.... or post a sample of what you are trying to do so we can see. The Canon printed on non-aqueous receptive paper and them dampened can give a very similar look to water colors... as to 'dye' or 'pigment' printing - all dyes have pigments most...
  11. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    if you are trying to add some water to a print and have it run like water-colors, then you may want to look at a Canon prograf - last one I had was 8300. They use the aqueous inks, but most substrate has a hydrophillic coating to help quickly lock the pigment to the sheet. We had some prints...
  12. Banding in greens/pinks 700w

    I agree that the plot you just sent is the same type of plot and that the artifact around the edges that shows fuzzy when optomizer goes out are much crisper on your print than on the OP's. I do not see any indication of OP issue in the print you sent... look at the edges of your black - even...
  13. HP Latex 315 Keeps Printing Gray as Blue/Purple After Replacing LC/LM and M/Y Printheads

    I agree it can be costly with printheads - though less than other printers I have used. you can keep the older printheads and swap them in for lesser jobs - we print a lot of posters that are not critical and just spot black - usually a scanned letter size sheet printed as 24"x31" - I can get...
  14. HP Latex 315 Keeps Printing Gray as Blue/Purple After Replacing LC/LM and M/Y Printheads

    ... just working from really simple color theory: if you are trying for a black (shade of grey) and you are using CMYK subtracting light to produce color - if your print is purple, it is not removing enough C and M from the light. (C and M inks do not add C and M light, they only remove Y and...
  15. HP spindle gear

    a little heat (from heat gun on low, or hair dryer on high - no flame!) may help expand the metal and make the plastic slightly more pliable while you remove it - a long shaft inserted from the other end to push the plastic cap out should help too -- it is likely very tight as it has to...
  16. Navy squadron cups

    .... typing "blank squadron mug curved side" into Google gives a few dozen options for purchase....
  17. Time Clock Options

    Most PEER REVIEWED, SCIENTIFIC studies that are performed correctly with control and properly tested are only published if they give results - a specific theory is generated (I assume you take this as "exactly what the originators of the study want to discover") and then tests are done - if the...
  18. SG-540 Translucent Oracal 8800 Bleed thru calendared

    I have not yet found a description that says Oracal 8800 can be printed by anything other than thermal transfer - except for your posts. Please provide a source for your information.
  19. SG-540 Translucent Oracal 8800 Bleed thru calendared

    this is copied from orafol website.... it says it is a colored, translucent material and that it is spec'd for thermal transfer printing only.....:

    Can they clock in on their way to work? (assuming they are thinking only about work whilst driving....)
