  1. Anyone actively pushing “green” materials?

    I usually just print the green
  2. Need Help Printing Reflective Aluminum Signs

    Well, of course. 3M 3290. I dont have much luck with Nipon Carbide with my solvent printer. Latex does fine.
  3. All it's missing is the circus music...

    I could only watch about an hour of it. Neither is worth a crap. We are so screwed. And its OUR Fault
  4. Trying to get into the biz

    Flexi said it was a printer issue. HP said they dont know what to tell me. This is a common problem with these machines. With different RIPs. Onyx, colorgate..
  5. Trying to get into the biz

    Thats it. For instance, if i am doing a face for aluminum, I will put the registration marks on it. Then, I just put a bigger box around the whole thing. The only bad thing is, i have to use a 30" roll for a 24" face, 24" for an 18" etc. If its just registration marks, it will shrink 50% of the...

  7. FC8600 Question

    Ill let you know how it goes!
  8. FC8600 Question

    Yes. I have to move the needle back into the proper place on the holder or it cuts off. In doing so, the right side still wont weed. Exact same spot. Every. Time. Blows my mind. I have a tech coming next week with my new printer.. i am going to get him to check it out.
  9. Trying to get into the biz

    I can even print a 12x6 and it comes out short. I dont see how that little would equate to a media feed issue, but im not a tech lol. Like i said, this issue runs rampant on these HPs apparently.
  10. Trying to get into the biz

    Yes sir. We had to send in color samples and everything to 3M. It was the only way we could still get good contract cost and warranties. I couldnt get a good profile on Rasterlink 5 to print on HIP sheeting. Im getting a CJV300 next week with Rasterlink 6 so im hoping i can figure out something...
  11. Trying to get into the biz

    The shrinkage is a problem that happens a lot. Its only in length, not in width. Also, you can put a box around it and it doesnt shrink for some reason. But that extra empty space for the box means wasted sheeting. Losing 70x9 on sheeting that costs 1.50 a square foot isnt taken lightly. Color...
  12. Trying to get into the biz

    I have 2 and they both shrink images and the colors will change. Many of these do this with no fix in sight. We have wasted a lot of material due to shrinkage. And they arent very user friendly, compared to others.

    Back away from the HP, bro. Just back away.

  17. CJV150 Bad Test print and overspray

    Thats pretty much what my test prints and print jobs look on my jv33. I need a head. Hopefully that isnt your problem.
  18. FC8600 Question

    So, I just fixed the problem. Its weird though... All i did was move the pen to the other slot in the holder and brought the blade out a tad. Its cutting like it should. At least with thin black vinyl.
  19. FC8600 Question

    I have gotten to the point where i think this is an electrical issue. Nothing else makes sense. So, I had this bright idea to do a factory reset. It didnt help :( Im wondering if its the mother board
  20. need help identifying a part

    I have considered just trying to straighten it but it seems even a couple degrees off would affect the rollers.
