  2. Update To Our Terms And Conditions

    I have received a record breaking (to me anyway) eight updates to terms and conditions late last week. Did something happen that the lawyers for all of the tech and online sellers are now scrambling to cover their virtual arses?
  3. HP 365 & Flexi Number of Copies

    Hey sign makers, I was running a job with a bunch of copies (repeats) and ran out of media part way. Other than pulling the roll apart and counting is there as way to confirm how many copies were actually printed? I don't see anything in either Flexi or Production Manager.

  5. Printing onto MDF

    Hello folks, Any experience in the group with printing onto MDF (medium density fibreboard)? If so any comparison between UV and latex or other options? Only a few posts from way back in 2011 but reading them I think that the original poster was talking about either tempered or non-tempered...
  6. HP Control Print

    I changed out a few things, new optimizer, a few inks and a print head recently. Of course my colours went ballistic. So then I re-did the ICC for some paper and ran the HP Control Print for comparison. Not even close. The brown of the color blocks, the womans' face and the shoe all look...
  7. Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum 14th Annual Wayzgoose, Two Rivers, WI Wayzgoose

    Not sign specific but you never know who may find this of interest. At first I was excited thinking Hamilton, ON but too much on the go to get to Two Rivers, WI this year. Anyway, if interested here is the link...
  8. Why Are There So Many HP Latex Printers For Sale?

    Possibly I'm uber aware since we have a HP 365 on the floor but it seems that almost daily someone is selling off their HP Latex equipment. And often it is not that old. What are the reasons behind the sales and what are people replacing them with? Are they upgrading their latex equipment...
  9. Well This Is Inspiring...

    With the lack of ability to attend trade shows until recently I would occasionally search for ideas and insights on how to get more out of our machinery. Often this involves looking to manufacturers of our equipment such as HP for inspiration. And I must say inspirational they are...
  10. Flexi 19 Inverted B&W, PM Inverted B&W?

    So I load a B&W image in Flexi 19 and it looks fine. Send it off to be printed and it looks fine. Head to PM and it's inverted and prints inverted. I really am trying my best to be more understanding with the things the world throws at us each day but come on...

    Hello gang, I am looking for a source for 31.5" x 72" Retractable Banner Stands (just the cartridges). Our customer requires this specific size.
  12. Banding On the Canon 8400s

    We have an older Canon 8400s still going strong but occasionally we end up with this banding issue. I've been told it's resolution, it's PhotoShop, it's a conflict between the media used and the print settings. It might be down to the paper we used but possibly some of you can help me get my...
  13. HP 365 Streaking

    So I have had a few outputs that had streaking in the first 4 or 5 inches of the print. My thinking is that I started the print too close to the leading edge of the roll and the head mucked up the print before it had a chance to hit the fans and set. The stock we're using for this project is...
  14. Printing Latex on Clear Material

    Suggestions and preferences for a clear substrate that will be hung so the image can be seen from both sides. Will be printing with a HP 365. The client may request the image be laminated so suggestions for a compatible laminate would be appreciated as well.
  15. Client Application Form

    You folks were so helpful regarding the costing spreadsheet I thought to myself, "Hey dude, why not ask if anyone has a Client Application Form that they would like to share?"

  20. Barcode, Schmarcode!

    I was under the impression that when I print the barcode with my image that the Summa cutter knows the orientation. If that's the case why would it not recognize top and bottom and cut accordingly? Fortunately it was just a small output but still a waste of time and materials.
