Gotcha, that's helpful. When you say heavy ink coverage, do you mean for backlit? We would want fair detail in our stickers that we make. Does that mean heavy ink coverage? I'm imagining that we would be able to get what we want from like an 8 pass quality with that machine.

So what do you guys do about the Solvent odor? Is it harmful? The last thing I want is for my guys to start having health issues because of running an eco-solvent machine. I ran an old old horrible eco-solvent 6 years ago in an 800sq/ft operation without much ventilation and I want to say that I...

For anyone using the S80600 or the S60600, is the eco-solvent noticeable? Considering the move from Latex to get better color but we don't want our shop to smell like solvent. Also, how long do you guys let your prints outgas before laminating with these printers? We were told they need to sit...

Anyone? Or is nobody using this printer? ;)

90% of the products that we print at our company are small vehicle stickers that we ship out all over the place. We've had some struggle with the HP Latex 360 having good up-close clarity and also some struggles with printing light greys and such. There is an issue because of the limited LM...

How much is heat a factor in these profiles? I like the idea of not so much heat, but is there a point at which it messes up the profile even if it's drying?

@dypinc Ok, thank you for the clarification on the light :) I'll try a profile with those settings. Thanks! Regarding the print heads, I replaced a couple of them at the beginning of this process and then it does it's own head alignment at that time, doesn't it? I have also run the "Optimize...

@dypinc What do you mean by viewing light temperatures? I have a spectro (i1 Pro), but no viewing lights. I figured that the spectro scanned the pallets without needing a viewing light, right? The onboard profiling does ok I suppose but it doesn't seem to fix the grain as much as I'd like...

@Coloradosigns - How do you do it with 0 grain? After you bring the profile back into Caldera, what do you do that makes your profiles so flawless? After spending so much time yesterday trying to dial in a profile, the grey we are trying to dial in really looks yellowish...ugh. What's the...

@dypinc - Will playing with the optimizer after I've created the profile mess up my profile? Or will I want to redo the linearization, ink limit and profiling steps after this step? Also, if I'm doing 8pass, is there potentially any less graininess to be had if I create a 10pass version of this...

If I find out after I complete the profile that the initial linearization and ink limit did not get saved, after I completed the profiling step, do I need to do that last part all over again? Printing out the patches and scanning and all that? Or does the linearization and ink limit not affect...

@dypinc - If optimizer is too high, how do I know how much less to set it? And then once I've done that, will I need to completely recreate my profile? And regarding using less black, how do I do that? In the ink limit portion of the calibration, I did go up to 390 just because the patches...

I'm trying to create my own custom profile on our glossy vinyl (GF 203). I'm using an x-rite i1 pro. I used the 360 to create the initial file but I did not let it create the profile. I had Caldera take over from there. I used Caldera to do the linearization, Ink Limit and now I'm on the profile...

BigfishDM - That would be great. I'll PM you my address. Also, is there a difference in texture / embossing between the 10mil and 5mil polycarbonate do you think? Or just thickness? It's possible that a 10mil might do the trick if there was actually a little more bite to the texture.

Do you think that product is basically the same thing as this? Eclpyse 5 mil. PC-V They come in the same awkward 51" width so it makes me suspicious :)

BigFishDM - What is that 6Mil Synthetic Polycarb like compared to the 5Mil Polycarb?

Hey guys - Thanks! What I mean by smudge is that finger oils and other things that come in contact with it seem to leave permanent marks or smudges. Something we never had an issue with when using Polycarbonate.

Hello! I'm looking for a textured laminate that doesn't smudge. We've been using Rtape 5Mil Poly, but now we need something with a little more bite to it. We've tried the Oracal 250AS product, which is a floor laminate. It's about the right texture, but it smudges really easily. We need...

We signed up for ShopVox 2 days ago and the same morning that we began setup we noticed it being very laggy and slow. Between that and some other issues we already cancelled. Is slowness something that you guys experience often? I get the feeling that it wasn't developed to be efficient. That or...

This is why I came on the boards today, to see what people are using for sales and production management. We had been using a combination of things for sales and then using Trello.com for production. We actually really like Trello for production. We looked into ShopVox and even signed up for...
