  1. HP Latex 560 :: Error 98:03

    If you have changed the Y/M head, perhaps try a manual re-alignment plot which gives a more detailed look at alignment.
  2. DTG Shirt Quality

    We have a DTG (a horror story in itself); I doubt the pretreat is causing that particular problem although gixxer2004 is right that incorrect pretreat can cause issues with print quality Looks to me that the printer is not getting Cyan or Magenta ink but is getting white and black, which are...
  3. Need Help Percentage Mark Ups

    To answer your question regarding outsourced products, we usually shoot for 35% - 50% Gross Margin on outsourced products depending on market competitiveness, risk, and size of order. (Gross Margin is the % of the sell price that is profit vs. markup which is a percentage of cost that is added...
  4. Do you have a UPS for your printer?

    Or if you really just need surge protection and clean power, you could purchase two of these https://smile.amazon.com/ESP-Digital-Protector-E524ZNT-Receptacle/dp/B074XFQTFB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543327519&sr=8-1&keywords=e524znt I have two on my 560.
  5. The best DTG

    Perhaps learn from my mistakes. I have a website that fulfills about 2000 shirts and during a slow time decided to convert from screen transfer to DTG thus allowing me to expand product to my wide-format customers. Spent a lot of time evaluating. There are numerous low volume hobbyist Epson...
  6. Has anybody tried the new vinyl from Fellers?

    Thanks, just received the Fellers mailing this morning and pitched it. Might fish it out of the trash and request a sample...
  7. Has anybody tried the new vinyl from Fellers?

    Not familiar with the Arlon Sott line; is it any good?
  8. Question Need to scale my business

    Congratulations on a great start; you should be proud that you built the basis of a good business and recognize the need to scale. Sounds like a great family you have. Now back to the original question. You can hire lower skilled or less experienced people with good attitudes and train them...
  9. water-like stain from HP Latex 300 printer

    Looks like media, but I wonder if it could be an optimizer problem (too much?) Easy to check by reducing in profile.
  10. Need recommendations for POS best point of sale system

    We've looked at all sorts of order systems and most are unnecessarily complex for our 4 person shop. Best of them was Casper which is available as web-based or hosted locally. We use Quickbooks Pro (subscription) desktop for Invoicing/accounting and payroll and Outlook tasks (color code...
  11. Profile adjusting

    We used the Chemica Easyprint 1702 profile (12p) HP profile downloaded to our 560. Set temp at 195. Had to cut out a bit of magenta in Flexi as I recall.
  12. latex media and ink suggestions

    I'll be the first of probably several to advise against buying that 26500 if you have not yet pulled the trigger. A good printer in its day, but will be buying first gen technology and worse yet used first gen which for under 10K you can buy HP's latest tech which is world's better. I have...
  13. Looking to upgrade from 25500 to 560, need advice

    I agree with the others - made the move myself 18 months ago and it is night and day difference even though the 25500 was good for a first gen product.. One other suggestion, we use the supplied teflon covers for the heat unit (supposedly for banners) for everything, as we find that many vinyls...
  14. Best media for wall graphics

    I've used numerous wall papers, but for long term removable 40c with matte laminate provides better adhesion than wallpaper but long-term removal. Pricier, but fewer callbacks. Avery 2611 Okay but dimensionaly unstable so doesn't like to be laminated in our experience (pulls from liner maybe...
  15. Looking for Plans for work tables

    I like Johnny Best's plan. So much so I built basically same thing 8 years ago using 2X6' and those no-split screws used for mounting ledger boards for decks. Guttering on sides, Harbor freight castors. Made mine 5X9 to fit limited shop space. Have two similar smaller tables same height I...
  16. 4over just cost us a major client

    On a side mote, we purchase retractors from Creative Banner who has a great selection, and use Grimco's rollup film with good success and decent profit.
  17. Question Illustrator PMS color has differing CMYK percentages depending on File

    Check out https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2316378 for a detailed discussion. It refers to converting color in InDesign, but it would work the same in Illustrator.
  18. Question Illustrator PMS color has differing CMYK percentages depending on File

    I'm interested in the outcome because we've had the same issues. I can't be sure, but I think this may be a Pantone issue. They change the CMYK values with each new book. I believe they license their library to Adobe which uses the existing library in effect at the time. I looked up 369C in...
  19. Interior Wall Mural material

    We do a lot of large scale wall projects. After much trial and error with smooth films from GF, Avery (2611) etc. we find that 3m 40c is becoming our go-to. It is thinner (3mil) than 6mil wall films so conforms better to slightly textured surfaces and we laminate most wall film with 2.5 mil...
  20. Art being cut off in Production manager

    You might check your defaults in PM . Try setting PDF to display Media Box instead of artboard.
