  1. Upgrade from 335 to 700w?

    I have the 700w. For the most part it’s been good. It’s slow to start up but once you start printing for the day it has good output. You’ve got to be diligent in storing the white printheads when not needed because the automatic maintenance on this machine seems to devour white ink like there’s...
  2. Mimaki UV vs HP Latex

    I only swap out the white printheads over the weekend or if im not printing with them the next day. This is the only printer I have ever owned but I've timed it on numerous occasions and first print of the day doesnt start for easily 5 minutes. If my next print isnt sent for an hour after a...
  3. Mimaki UV vs HP Latex

    I have a 700w. From the moment I send a print it takes easily 6-7 minutes or so to warm up before it will even start printing. I’ve watched video comparisons of the UVJ and the 700/800 series HPs and the Mimaki is halfway through the print before the HP starts printing. The hp has a faster print...
  4. Should I move premesis and work in a open environment advice please???

    While the new location appears picturesque, it doesnt sound like an ideal location for a sign shop...even if you arent printing. You will have no temperature or humidity control at all. If you are like me and attract the wind when I am trying to install outside then I wouldnt think about it. By...
  5. 700W Sandwich mode - Color Bars possible?

    I have the 700w as well. Anything I tried to print like the images you attached turned out the exact same. I am curious if you figured out the issue. Hoping us 700w users can band together to get the problems figured out.
  6. hp 700 vs epson r5070 yearly expenses and recommendations

    I have had the HP 700W for almost a year now. I have not been able to get color consistency that I feel a 23K$ printer should. The white printheads are the only ones Ive had to replace but I use white with 99% of the printing I do because Im printing on clear or black vinyl for the most part...
  7. Troubleshooting HP 700W Error Dead Screen

    We had an 0022 error on ours and it was due to our ink lines leaking onto the circuit boards and cables. It was a known issue that HP was apparently trying to get scheduled with all 700 owners but they didnt get to me in time.
  8. White not printing in design

    Im still teaching myself how to use this HP700W and have success most of the time. Today's problem was that I have white text along with other text of various colors that I want to print on black vinyl and then cut out around it on the graphtec. I am using the newest version of flexi. It will...
  9. Web Development guidance - Custom API

    It’s possible, we looked into this with another business venture we started. The problem we ran into is every customer we had needed their own custom programming in order for it to integrate because they were on different platforms and/or their orders have different custom variables. If all of...

    Is this still for sale?
  11. Importing Vinyl From China

    I routinely deal with importing products from China on alibaba so I’ll share my experience. It’s very hit or miss. Sometimes you get a product that is comparable to US made but I find that isn’t true most of the time. There is almost always a headache involved in the process that makes the...
  12. Printing a white box behind contour marks possible?

    1. From flexi's Rip and Print Dialog box you go to the contour/cut tab. Click the "options" button in the Registration Mark section. 2. "Print mask around registration marks" needs to be selected. Also, the grimco tech and I determined that we could not get it to print this mask if you printed...
  13. Printing a white box behind contour marks possible?

    I have a 700w and I print the white box. I can screenshot where the settings are in flexi if you want.
  14. HP700W-Substrate loses traction. Wont feed or unload

    I just started trying the briteline holographic vinyl and havnt had any success yet. After loading the substrate I attempt to move the vinyl further out to attach to the take up reel and the vinyl starts to slip and you can see the rubber rollers spinning but substrate isnt moving. It does this...
  15. Printing a white box behind contour marks possible?

    I’m just adding this just in case someone needs the answer in the future. When printing on dark substrates you can choose to print a white border around the registration marks in flexi. When the print dialog box is open you go to the tab for cutter settings, there you’ll find settings for...
  16. About to buy the HP 700w

    Bought a 700w in February but it’s my first printer ever. After getting past the initial learning curve I though I was getting somewhere but I’ve been dealing with color inconsistencies like someone else mentioned. It was offline for 3 weeks and would not boot up because 4 of the ink lines...
  17. Can I achieve true flat matte with Latex 315?

    In my experience when you print on matte you end up with a what I call satin. Its definitely a different sheen. The same applies when i print on gloss...it is clearly a different sheen anywhere the latex ink is laid down.

    Gino, I do this part time. What I do full time is teach (at college level) utilizing the masters degree I earned. Nothing I said indicated I lack intelligence. Your overuse of "commas" in your post would lead me to say you should brush up on your grammar.if your intentions are to post another...
  19. New Guy Not a newbie but new here Not a newbie but new here

    It's actually information that existed in my profile from when it was originally created years ago I assume and I haven't edited it. "How do I expect any help?".....well, when I have a question about something specific I'll ask about it. I don't think anyone really cares to have to view my...
