  1. Need Help A different RIP discussion

    I'm good at trouble shooting and I can google fixes just like the rest of them but I'd rather spend the money up front and not have to worry about it
  2. Need Help A different RIP discussion

    i was told by a rep that the iMac wasn't built to handle a rip like caldera and suggested mini mac -- thoughts?
  3. Need Help A different RIP discussion

    I honestly just have a bad taste about flexi and I know Caldera and Onyx are MADE for ripping. I just feel that flexi is so bootleg and unstable. I'm not just having simple flat or inconsistent colors issues - its actually changing from day to day,

    Cant we achieve this management via caldera? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Need Help A different RIP discussion

    I have exhausted the onyx vs caldera discussions and read through everything. I just want to get an opinion on what you guys/girls think is best for ME. So we use flexi right now (current version) and have been having crazy color issues recently. HP tech has been out 3 x's and we're actually...
  6. 330 Major Color Consistency Issues

    So you are dealing with the same problem with 2 different machines? A mimaki (solvent) and an HP latex Yes but it only happened once with the solvent....it was enough to freak me out and blame flexi What happens when you print the same file on both machines using the same rip I wish we had the...
  7. 330 Major Color Consistency Issues

    So a couple of things to note... 1 - My mimaki did the 2 different color panel things last week. Which Pointed me also at the RIP. 2 - We have had a tech out here 3 x's in the passed week from HP because of an initial ink level sensor problem. While here he noticed the ink flow pumps we're...
  8. 330 Major Color Consistency Issues

    So I've had this 330 for 2+ years and I'm really all thumbs. I want to put a disclaimer out there and say that we're not the shop that makes custom profiles. In fact, we usually stick to 1 profile for all vinyl, 1 or 2 for textiles and 1 for banner and thats it. We'll do the print tests and...
  9. There goes my cutting strip!

    I'm really sorry but I need to resurrect this thread with 1 question.... If my teflon mat base had heavy scratches and grooves are we doing something wrong?!? Or is that just what happens when cutting thick material?
  10. HUGE Tracking issue

    got it - was the sensor - thx!
  11. HUGE Tracking issue

    All of a sudden yesterday my guys are telling me the machine is tracking to one side. We thought he MUST have just been feeding it in crooked. So i came in today and re fed the machine and got the same results. I was just extra careful and re fed the machine again.....same results...
  12. Best Blade for Wall Saw

    is that even a real response?!?
  13. Wrap premasked install ?

    They do this bc the premask is cheaper than 8518/19/20. The companies that are supplying these prints are powerhouses and even though the little guy may see close to comparable costs between the laminates and the 3M premask it really adds up when you're talking hundreds of vehicles per month.
  14. Best Blade for Wall Saw

    We just bought a wall saw (used) and we want to put the best general blace in there possible. 2 Questions.... 1: What IS the best blade for all types of substrates? We mostly cut omega bond and varying thickness of PVC - occasionally Acrylic and Lusterboard 2: Can I get something that will cut...
  15. York - Water activated wall covering

    Anyone have any experience with this?
  16. How many passes for solid color?

    ^^^ why woulnt you source a cut vinyl color for this?!? jeez
  17. How many passes for solid color?

    How do I do this in flexi? Or is this done at the control panel on the printer?
  18. How many passes for solid color?

    HP 330 - I'm just curious how many passes you guys are printing for solid colors. I know that the darker, richer colors are hardest like reds and blues. I just feel like 8 pass was plenty good when we purchased the printer and as time went on we've needed to keep upping the passes. Yes we...
  19. My Latex Colors Look Like $h*t

    okay - So to regroup on everything here is what happened. I called HP and told them what was happening and they sent a tech out. Our firmware was up to date but not really. They had a beta version of a firmware update and they put in into my machine and BAM! We got red!! Now if I could only...
  20. My Latex Colors Look Like $h*t

    I guess my real question is how do I dig into the profiles? How do I make these custom profile? Is this something that I should contact flex he about and see how I can do this through the RIP software? Or is this something that I should be discussing with HP?
