  1. My Latex Colors Look Like $h*t

    The reds are working fine with that printers. There must be an issue with yours. Tipp 1: One time I had an issue with a Latex 280 which won't be used much. The yellow ink have looked totally washed out (was in the machine for nearly two years), what guides to heavy colour deviations. Is...
  2. Help selecting a new Mimaki printer

    3 years without lam, 5 years with lam. I don't know a solvent ink which will last longer.
  3. Printing to an HP Printer

    You can generate colour swatches (CMYK or from a current palette) from the View-Menu in Flexi.
  4. Roland and Latex

    I have worked several years (and still do that work) as a technician for roland printers, and now work for more than 3 years for a HP Latex dealer. I think I could comment the marketing Roland does. Print heads In Switzerland, the cost of ink and consumables (heads and maintenance cartridge)...
  5. Why does a business only accept wire transfer for printhead??!!

    My company have wasted money by trying to buy something from indonesia. We have expected that, but just have tried. We had phone contact to this guys there, and they made special offers by phone ... but no delivery happen, and the company can't be found anymore later.
  6. Best RIP for HP L360

    @ Hotspur: This thread is not about the Latex 3000, it is about the 360. A 360 is a contone printer too, but the icc creation and icc storing is printer based. It is correct that the ICC will be applied to the contone file the RIP creates (not attached), but this ICC-Profile will be loaded to...
  7. Best RIP for HP L360

    A modified interface. They have showed preview on the FESPA Exhibition in Cologne/Germany in May.
  8. Best RIP for HP L360

    One big reason in the past to decide for RIP's was the number of profiles available from the vendor or the media supplier. This reason is obsolete because of the profiles are working with every RIP which have a driver. so the "quality" of the profiler module is not a key feature too. We have...
  9. Onyx Production House -- Banner Marks?

    They could do that too with grommets ;) . But I know too that grommets will be in V12 ;) . I agree that one feature like grommets don't make a RIP a low end RIP, but which features are important for you depends on your priorities. I work at a dealer, and do work with several RIP-Softwares ...
  10. Offline Cutting with Roland SOLJET® XF-640, Soljet Pro 2

    Tim Kingston: If you could use an other cutter for contour cutting depends on the RIP-Software you use. As far as I remember, VersaWorks for example supports Roland Cutters only. Jamco: It is a high risk for accuracy if printing and cutting without registration marks, because only with the...
  11. Onyx Production House -- Banner Marks?

    Onyx have spent R&D-Time for that Sign & Banner-Plugin ;) . And after they do not support it anymore, perhaps there will be an other solution in the future, eventually integrated in the RIP-Software itself (as lots of other RIP-software too) ... there are requests of customers for such a...
  12. Cutcontour from Flexi to Versaworks

    The default cut contour colour (grey with name "CutContour") will work. If your Flexi creates pink lines as a cut contour, you could run into trouble.
  13. KCMY not original

    The ink chips of the mutoh cartridges contain serial numbers. Since specific firmware versions (VJ1614 is 1.05 as far as I remember, 1604 1.12 - not shure) the printer saves the serial numbers of cartridges used, and when trying to set a new cartridge with the same serial number ( what will...
  14. NEW HP Latex L370 4th Generation

    Most important with the heads to let them cool down correctly after printing. Switching the printer off directly after printing will lead to problems. We are dealers in switzerland, and we have extremely less problems with the Latex 300-Heads, in opposite to the earlier models. As HP said...
  15. Service Mode is Protected---HELP?

    It will not be a problem with the head height setting, because the system have a sensor for the lower position. So it will reset everytime the printer is switched on. You just need to be careful to don't turn it too much in the wrong direction and kill your heads manually :) . But if you raise...
  16. Service Mode is Protected---HELP?

    If you do it this way, regularly the cap tops are lowered ... it is easier to replace them when they are at the upper position. Exactly. But as you crank up the caps, you can lower them with the tool too.
  17. Service Mode is Protected---HELP?

    You can do the cap top change without entering the service mode. When the printer was delivered, the accessories contain a little metal tube with a flattened end. With this tube, you can lower the cap tops manually through a hole in the bottom plate of the printer below the caps by inserting...
  18. NEW HP Latex L370 4th Generation

    Exactly. It will take around 10'000 to 15'000 square meters (depending on the price for the 3 Liter ink cartridges you get and the average ink coverage) to get the money back. An other advantage is that the printer don't need to stop when replacing the ink cartridge, the cartridges are hot...
  19. Latex Printable Foldable Map Material/ Tyvek?

    I have tested very thin Tyvek, and it works with the old latex (so it should do with the new too). There is thinner Tyvek available as I have tested, but for inkjet-printing a coating is needed. For printing maps too, I have tested Polyart Synthetic Paper on a 360. I run into problems not...
  20. questions about L360

    Sometimes, when I have a lazy day, I load it while sitting in a chair with rollers. It works.
