The big issue is that the print is fading.

Any recommendations? Did anyone else have to use special settings with this printer?

I spoke too soon again. While I'm not getting the heavy notch marks anymore, and it's not fading quite as drastically, the quality is still not good. It's not consistant like 3M. It definitely has areas of fading. I don't get it. Anyone?

Ok, the winner seems to be the Arlon 6000XRP profile on 12pass, 131 degree drying temp, 240 degree curing temp and 45% heat airflow. Now I can print and go to bed...I think.

Ah man, I just printed on some 30" 3M IJ180C and it prints perfectly. Ack. Is this Arlon 6000XRP stuff just garbage? Or is it still a settings issue? I'm using the 6000XRP profile.

As you can see from this picture, it prints great for the first 8ish inches, then the print starts fading out and those lines start showing up. I've tried reducing my temperature but nothing seems to change. Any recommended adjustments?

I spoke too soon. It appears that the initial 6 inches of the print are nice and solid. Then the quality starts going down from there. Temperature issue?

Thanks! The pinch rollers were clean. It was the settings. I can't believe how much better this print looks on 10pass rather than 12 pass. I didn't think that was possible. Kinda frustrated I've been using 12 pass all day. Thanks again!

I can't figure out what is going. My printer keeps printing these marks in the exact same location on the media. Only today, since I've been printing on Arlon 6000XRP. However, I can't see anything on the media that would be causing this. Any ideas? It seems more mechanical, but what could be...

Hey Guys! I'm LOVING my new HP L26500. I love how I don't have to smell eco-solvent all day. However, one thing I do notice is that I'm now smelling media due to the high heat. Different medias have different smells but most get fairly strong. I run out of a 400 sq/ft garage. What are some...

Thanks Frank! I forgot to leave out one big piece of information. It always happens right after it finds all the registration marks. The cutting head moves to the right to lift up the opus, and it goes into a Y Axis error. It almost looks as if it's hit the far right wall. But like I said, we...

Alrighty, I've had a SummaCut Series D140R cutter for the last 2.5 years. The last 2 months, I've been getting an "Error In Y Axis" error every 3-5 opus cut jobs. I've been on the phone with Summa a few times about this issue and we can't figure it out. It isn't consistent, the motors and...

Hmmmmm... well I think it might have been a false alarm! Whew! The printer eventually told me that there was a problem with the initialization and had me shut it off again. I restarted and everything appears to be working fine now! It's not giving me warnings about that print head or anything.

My printer is about 2 months old and my printer just alerted me that one of my print heads needs to be replaced. According to what I saw, it is within warranty and well before the normal time that it would need to be replaced (The only cartridge I've had to change so far is black). Anyways, I...

What is generally your method for trimming and cutting around them? Carefully with an xacto knife? Do you try to get close to the handle? Leave a margin? Also, how do you initially wrap around the handle? In the case of the Dodge, the handles are too tall to heat and stretch, in my opinion.

I'm liking that rule right now. Everything I'm reading online right now says that this door handle is a beast!

I'm doing a partial wrap on a 2011 Dodge Ram 3500. I'd like to remove the handles to make this install as clean as possible, but the door handles are kicking my butt. I can remove the door panel just fine, but once I'm inside there isn't really easy access to the door handles themselves and the...

That's helpful. Thanks guys! VanderJ - Any particular reason you recommend a PC laptop over just a PC desktop?

Does anyone use Flexi 10 on their mac via Parallels? How does it work? My PC specs are pretty low so Flexi tends to "Not Respond" and crash sometimes when going from the Editor to the RIP. However, if I'm going to get a decent computer, I would much prefer spending money on a Mac than a new...

Hello! I'm doing some address labels for a friend and I'm having a hard time getting the colors right. I've attached a picture. The problem is with that ribbon in the design, it's either over-saturated, or it's the wrong color. The ribbon in the top label is PERFECT, but to get it this way, I...
