  1. Question HP latex, speeding up printing time with out sacrificing quality

    Ckapex one thing I do with especially expensive material and/or material that I'm only printing a little bit of (I print on heat press material sometimes and it's often just a foot or so of printing) is feed the material out so I can get to it, tape a leader on it, and back it up. I use masking...
  2. HP (Summa) cutter making random erratic cuts - crisis mode here

    Thank you! That's what I was REALLY hoping for but it's happened now on more than one file :confused:
  3. Question HP latex, speeding up printing time with out sacrificing quality

    When do you gets jams? I've only ever gotten them if I try to print too close to the leading edge of the material. Are you using the hold down tabs or printing edge to edge? What does that mean?
  4. HP (Summa) cutter making random erratic cuts - crisis mode here

    My cutter is about 5 years old, light use. It has just done this to two files in a row. On the 2 it just slid down a little and finished the cut but the S is rotated 90 and flipped! We had problems before with communication over the network but that was fixed long ago by a CAT8 patch cable...
  5. Question Hp 54 cutter has anyone seen this happen before?

    This is important to know and comes in handy if you've ever cut your material off without leaving enough leader. Also it's a good thing it does, otherwise you'd have quite the hassle cutting material you just ran through the laminator!!
  6. Calling anyone who uses angle to hang sign panels

    SO to incorporate some suggestions and to clarify some vagueness, here's an updated diagram. I am planning on having returns on the sides (the sign top is 7' off the ground so not returning top and bottom, just sides) -
  7. Calling anyone who uses angle to hang sign panels

    A couple of months ago I found a thread about attaching an ACM box sign to a wall, and somebody shared some mockups of this system they use where they make something like what I've attached - the part that mounts to the wall is a single frame that perfectly fits between two angles on the panel...

    I too am curious as to what the look is that netsol is going for...
  9. Air in ink system on 3xx's - 5xx's

    I did replace the ink and print LcLm over and over until I had purged the lines, then replaced the printheads. This mostly solved the problem. Unfortunately the material I'm working on doesn't come wide enough for the HP to print the calibration print on so there's still a color shift - it's...
  10. Air in ink system on 3xx's - 5xx's

    Thanks very much for the info! I went ahead and ordered a new printhead. Also, how do I find a syringe like that?
  11. Air in ink system on 3xx's - 5xx's

    Sorry, not sure - I already got rid of them
  12. Air in ink system on 3xx's - 5xx's

    My LC and LM were VERY expired and my grays started getting all mottled and color shifting.
  13. How to get expired ink out of lines - Lt Cyan and Lt Magenta

    Turns out I don't have the right needle, my syringes have a blunt open tip and I think I'd damage the little interfaces there. I did some playing around and with color correction off the printer starts adding regular CM at 26%, so 25% gives you light CM only. The frustrating thing is it only...
  14. How to get expired ink out of lines - Lt Cyan and Lt Magenta

    Thanks very much for the quick reply. Sorry to have to ask, but how do you unpark the printhead shuttle when it's off?
  15. Air in ink system on 3xx's - 5xx's

    Ezek I have a 315 and I need to get expired ink out of the LC and LM lines - is there anything you can point me to that explains how to use a syringe to draw the ink out? p.s. I have thankfully not experienced the air problem that you're having - at least not yet!
  16. How to get expired ink out of lines - Lt Cyan and Lt Magenta

    I'm running an HP 315 with HP Production Manager RIP. My LC and LM expired a while ago and I thought "whatever". Recently I started to get more mottling in my prints in light areas, especially light greys. They've also shifted toward green. I read up on it a little and saw that the expired...
  17. What floor vinyl & overlaminate will last longest in elementary school tiled hallway?

    I have not. I agree that the lack of a call does not mean it's for sure looking great.
  18. What floor vinyl & overlaminate will last longest in elementary school tiled hallway?

    Your main concern will change rapidly after a kindergartner with wet snow boots slips and hits his head. You gotta use a floor lam for this. We installed 1100 paw prints in an elementary school in the fall of 2017 and have yet to get a call to replace any. We used Mactac PermaFlex PF6315 5...
