  6. Printed colors don't match sample

    Age of your heads matters greatly. A new head will produce more consistent colors, older heads have a life of there own, sometime individual nozzles fire when they feel like it producing a slightly different color. IMHO

  11. Car magnets falling off when cold?

    i live in a cold climate, i never take the print to within .3 - .4" of the edge of the material, the vinyl shrinkage pulls the edge up and they fall off. leave this much magnet bare and you will never have this problem again. basically every magnet gets a .3-.4" outline around the outside in my...

  14. Flourescent Bulb Length

    Changing bulbs is not working on electrical signs, it's a common thing to do when replacing signs faces. - don't replace a sign face if you can't fix the internal electrical components is a pretty dumb statement, that's the equivalent to saying don't fix a flat if you can't replace an...

    8 whole years... I can remember waiting for digital printers to enter the sign industry, i have some time in too. your last post sounded more intelligent than your first, but sadly you still shouldn't be advising on someone who is asking about an HP since you clearly don't know jack about...

  19. HP L25500 End of Life :(

    your not going to get a trade in on it anyway. Call Brian at LexJet, you can pick up a 315 with a free take up reel for $9999 if you order before the end of the year. The 315 runs much better than the 25500, it is only 54" as opposed to the 60" for the 25500, but I got over that real quick.
