  1. Where Are the Holes?

    I was cutting out some text the other day (think Letterkenny) when for some reason PM decided to delete some of the holes in the text. I've included three images, the text in Flexi, the text in the PM layout tab and then the text after I clicked on the cut tab. I deleted the whole thing and...
  2. Cheap Canvas

    We print with a better quality cotton for our canvases but I have a few clients looking for the down and dirty (cheap) option. What is the cheap canvas that the big online chains use in their latex printers? Non-laminated, stretched, saw-tooth hanger, the simple stuff.
  3. Arlon SLX+ Laminate Options?

    We don't do a ton of vehicle graphics so we try to keep inventory low. Unfortunately one of our peeps used up the Arlon 3200 Gloss laminate we had paired with the Arlon SLX+. Any other laminates compatible with the Arlon SLX+? Or is it a mistake to pair up another manufacturer's laminate with...
  4. Glow In The Dark Stickers

    Hey gang, is there a glow-in-the-dark sticker media compatible with the HP 365 latex?
  5. Wrapping Paper for HP Latex

    Any suggestions regarding wrapping paper for HP latex. It would be nice for this application to get a wide roll but 36" and 60" only come is 500' rolls and I simply do not need that much material. I'm hoping there are suitable alternatives. Thanks
  6. Matte Paper for HP 365 Latex

    I've read through a few threads but they are from a few years ago and seem to be out of date. Any recommendations for matte paper for latex?
  7. HP 365, Vinyl is Bubbling Up During Printing

    I am printing on 3.2 vinyl and I noticed today that there are air pockets forming between the vinyl and the release liner. This doesn't seem to be affecting the printing and the bubbles are not causing any strikes or scuffing. The original curing temp is 220 F. I have knocked it back to 200F...
  8. PM Ignores Colours and Print Grey Only

    I have to print and cut a two-tone brown tree. When I send it to PM to print it comes out grey. See pics of the Flexi and PM pages. I probably hit a button somewhere but can't seem to sort this out. Any thoughts?
  9. US Tariffs, Sigh!

    We are a Canadian business and import into the US and buy from the US. This is both directly and indirectly through customers, distributors and suppliers. How are Canadian and US businesses handling the new challenges? I suppose we can add the additional Chinese tariffs into the thread as...
  10. What the $%^& Colour Is That?

    I know the screen and the actual output will never be 100% in my world but this is brutal. The first image is a thumbnail where the background is a flat greygreeny colour. The second is after a calibration thinking something may be off. Blech, not much better as greygreeny turns to purpley...
  11. 48' x 6' Banner

    I have a client looking for a 6' x 48' banner. It will used for a week or so and rolled up and put away until the next event. Annual exposure will be the equivalent of about a months worth of outdoor use from Spring to fall and in full sunlight. I'm looking for recommendations regarding...
  12. Print Scuffs on the 365

    So I started a run today on the 365 and I had a few scuffs which were literally right in the middle of the print and seemed to follow the same spot as the roll unfurled. After some clean up and other maintenance that was over due I set up the job again and the problem seems to have gone away...
  13. Coloured Vinyl for Latex Printers

    Hello gang, Are there coloured vinyl product that is suitable for printing with an HP365? Or am I limited to UV or solvent compatible materials? In this case I need to print black on yellow.
  14. EPSON - New Products?

    Is Epson coming out with new stuff? I see a lot of vendors plugging Epson printers from about 25% to 40% off.
  15. HP Flexi PM Banner won't RIP

    Hello Gangsters, I created a banner in Flexi 21, sent it to PM where I added grommet marks and bleed. When I confirmed everything and sent it for printing I got a RIP error. Eventually the solution was to remove the bleed and the grommet marks and just do a straight print. Any thoughts as to...
  16. Who Has The Best Inks?

    Lot's of chatter regarding who makes the best flatbed printers and who offers the best service, support, durability, etc. But not much about which printer offers the best ink and why. I'm curious if there are any really differences from brand to brand in the ink options they offer.
  17. Can a Summa D160 Cut paper Posters?

    I am looking at a number of options for a project and one option is to print a bunch of posters on the HP 365 and then have to cut them to size. I am not averse to work but if the Summa can cut these out for me that would be great. Or am I creating more grief than saving time?
  18. Ink Usage Not Recording

    We 're printing a bunch of stuff on our HP 365 and even though I know we are using the LM the noted volume of ink remaining in the cartridge has not changed. Looking at past usage for this project it will have used up at least 15ml this morning but the accounting panel and the touch screen both...
  19. Our 365 Has A Broken Tape Measure

    I ran a few jobs using up a few 150' rolls of media. When I switched materials and ran a small 30" canvas the printer caught me off guard and was about to "print" another 80' of nothingingness. I checked the original file, the Flexi page, the PM and everything I thought of to see if I had added...
  20. HP named America’s Most Responsible Company!

    Received an emailthis morning form BMG stating that HP has been awarded the most responsible company for the fourth year in a row. What do you think...true to the word, green washing or a bit of both? Or maybe there are other incentives in place to put this out...
