  1. Anyone with 560/570 have any luck with double sided printing?

    The 560/570 uses the OMAS sensor to see the line for double-sided printing. I have found double sided to be a very big pain in the ass in general In my experience I have my own method with is a manual alignment and advance for each print. The outcome is very similar to HP's workflow and...

  3. Vector PMS Color Chart

    Oh and none of this is usually necessary if you have a properly profiled, color managed workflow. Sign guys and gals have plenty of time for that, right? :wink:
  4. Vector PMS Color Chart

    Well there are several schools of thought on this. I find it easier dialing in PMS colors on uncalibrated systems when K is not included. (less swatches to look at) K channel allows me to tweak the color very slightly from where I have found the closest match. There are similar charts out...

  8. SP540V won't print black

    Its always the last place you look :wink:
  9. Vector PMS Color Chart

    The problem I see here is that you may not be looking at anything useful. If it does not match PMS, then what do you do? I find a CMY mix chart output on my target vinyl to be far more useful. That way I can run a PMS swatch book across until I have a match then the swatch tells me what mix...

  14. Hp L260, Printhead gone bad? (The butterfly effect)

    Thats an issue caused by the RIP more than likely, not the heads. Does the pattern change when you change printheads in cyan?
  15. Solo Cold Laminator by Daige reviews?

    Daige sells under a few names, all of these are fairly heavy built with poor quality and poor fit an finish. The can get the job done...for a while. Getting the correct replacement parts is an extreme pain in the ***. If you are looking for a solid unit, albit way more expensive i would say...

  17. Banner material on Latex HP 260 - Someone tell me what i am doing wrong.

    Simple test. Is there a surface contaminant such as plasticisers?> (makes the material flexible, but can sometimes "sweat out" as the material ages) Take some rubbing alcohol (isopropyl). Roll out a few feet of your banner. Clean 1/2 of the banner with alcohol. Leave the other half. Draw...
  18. What type of printing process is being used?

    Looks like pigment based aqueous inkjet printing on pre prepped coated board. (receiver coating for the ink) Post process would be a urethane or acrylic coating. All of this could be done with eco friendly products as they claim.
