Firmware is up to date unfortunately, it’s just such an odd issue, fair enough if it cut the first couple inches or so off of a new roll (which would be odd anyway) but there’s been a few times it’s cut right through a barcode or taken my entire leading edge off. Luckily enough we mostly do...

No I mean I drop the lever to lower the rollers, then without me asking it to, the blade across the front cuts off (usually a couple inches) from the front of the sheet I’ve just loaded. I drop the lever, it measures the sheet, does the jolting bit etc then just cuts a piece off of the sheet...

So I probably never explained it right in the subject, but recently (not every time) when I’m loading a new sheet into the summa, it’ll try cut a straight edge using the actual sheet cutter. I’ve no idea why it does it intermittently, but basically I load a sheet, drop the rollers down, then...

We had a sortve open system where we just emptied in the ink and bought it in litre bottles. Saved us a fortune but due to the ink being slightly exposed to the air (guys that supplied the ink and system said to leave the caps on but not tight) when we stopped using it as much (it’s a backup...

Assuming anyone who has a home based printer, they’d recommend some sort of filtration/exhaust system. Or even try latex and you don’t have those worries. as with any system, you’re always best going with the company that has the closest/best service. Doesn’t matter how much faster the machine...

Great stuff! Now I just need to deal with the customer and get them a price. They wanted a price based on quantity and their quantity was “lots”..

still Limits us to about 800mm wide but I guess that’s still reasonable. Any ideas on how long they last? Not really got the time to make a test banner and see how long it lives lol

So we’re running an oce Colorado 1640, one of the initial reasons we went for it was canons mention of double sided eventually. As per my last conversation with canon, that’s no longer going to be happening and they’re doing that solely on the 1650. However, we still continue to get customers...

Your direct print ink will not shrink. The calendared laminate will. Naturally this will pull at the ink and you’ll either end up with delamination or if the laminate is strongly adhered to the ink, it’ll all come off. Which I’m guessing is what’s happening here. You can usually expect ~3mm...

Yeah that’s about what we’re getting. We do get it in next day if we order before 3 anyway so no issues there anyway.

What process are you using to print them? Hot folders or file - open? Hot folders would probably need re-done with a fresh install?

Yeah they told me that when they put it in too. 50% expired ink is fine as long as you put in a new bottle! Only got like 12% black to use in 27 days so not at panic stations yet lol. which leads me to my next point; ink reservoir is 2.5 litre, ink bottles are 1 litre. 1 new ink bottle gives...

I’ve never used a HP but something you also may want to consider is solvents like to be run as much as possible. Need to be cleaned daily-weekly depending on the model you choose and don’t fare well being switched off for long periods (or really any period) of time. with the latex I believe...

The screen printing section would get a whole crop of newbies* lol

The main issue would probably stem from any accuracy limitations. I see a lot of HP users with the built in spectro still complain about hitting neutral greys for example. Or just admit that they use the canned profiles. (Never used a HP so could be down to poor hardware etc, just used that as...

We bought some in December and they say they should last until August, so I’d guess they last around a year and it depends how long they’ve been sitting on a shelf before they get to you. But realistically I’d expect at least 6-9 months. Which is more than enough for us. Actually, I just...

fully agree, if you can’t hide the seam, at least make it look “intentional”. For this one I’d probably do it vertical, generally harder to see straight on.

I take it that’s going by the ml on the machine and not the rip? Always found the Rip to be miles out. I take it the cost of the ink per ml is similar compared to the hp’s? Found any different in less ink lost through maintenance/purging heads etc? we’re in the beginning stages of looking at a...

We got quoted for the 3174 and the 3891 (numbers may be wrong lol) and they’re twice the price of our regular counterparts. not sure if our supplier is just avoiding stocking it or if we just get a great deal on the PVC stuff because we buy so much. still definitely something we’ll look at...

You can also turn the media sensors off if you want to test a job. If it cuts fine, you know it’s that. I usually leave at least 50mm (~2”) at the front and back of each sheet and don’t have any problems. Any reason you’re doing sheets, too? Nothing I enjoy more than just loading a roll up...
