Several months ago I noticed that all of the "Coated Textiles" media profiles on our HP 560 print with the magenta out of alignment/registration with the other colors. I initially called HP support in January and after about a week of back and forth and a ton of test prints/calibrations/base...

Well Im just now diving into it so at the moment my question is just an umbrella "wtf were they thinking and how is this supposed to operate?" lol Their way of pricing LF jobs seems to be based off of the way that they calculate pricing for cut sheet digital/offset which is pretty nonsensical...

When we first switched to PrintSmith ~5 years ago we didn't have anything close to the wide format capabilities that we do now so we never really bothered setting up the wide format definitions. We hate how the platform handles everything wide format (and a lot of other things about it as well...

We switched from Xerox digital presses to Konica presses about 5 years ago and in some ways it feels like we fell out of the frying pan and into the fire. I honestly feel bad for our KM service techs because they are in our shop almost every day. No joke. One of them is replacing a part as we...

I contacted Grimco and they told me it was probably a straggler left from a "bad batch" but the most annoying part is that they were pretty reluctant to do anything to help. Their solution was: 1. try different chemicals to remove in the ink 2. cover the both sides of the entire panel with...

I've only worked with ACM a few times. Just got a sheet of MaxMetal Lite in and when I peeled the liner off the printed info on the liner seems to have migrated onto the ACM itself. I tried scrubbing it off with IPA with no luck. Is this normal?!

The ones on their site are either Onyx specific or for much older HP models. There also isn't one for 3683 specifically. Their tech support finally got back to me and told me to use the profile for 3686.

The Sihl 3683 profile on HP's Media Locator is giving me a 404 error code, and Im so busy right now that I won't have the time to make my own profile for a few days so I just wanted to ask if anyone on here happened to already have a profile. I'm printing bottle labels with UPCs that need to...

One of our clients asked if we could try printing on some sample rolls of upholstery fabric that they use. The fabric is 100% polyester and is marketed as "printable" but only because they're tested it with dye-sub, not direct printing with latex. I've printed plenty of other fabric but I...

I would think that the grommet should go as close to the middle of the webbing as possible. The whole concept behind any sort of hemming/reinforcement - not to mention the scrim in the banner itself - is to distribute the amount of force being applied to the banner material so that the force...

Its interesting to see these negative opinions, I actually convinced my company to offer eco alternatives whenever possible about two years ago. Initially there was a lot of kickback from the company but within about 2 weeks my boss came to me talking about how well customers responded to the...

I'll shoot you an email thanks ~

Any insight on why this display film warped so badly? It's is a PP/PE display film that I printed on an HP 560. My first guess of course is that the curing temp was too high. The manufacturer profile had the heat at 230 and I dropped it to 210 thinking that would be safe but I guess not...

Honestly these days it doesn't really make a difference

I loved Viewmasters. Honestly still do. I'd trade a 15$ movie ticket for a joint and a Viewmaster any day. Kinda reminds me of my Tomy Turnin' Turbo I had growing up... Looking back it makes me laugh that the thing only had 4 gears. Talk about cutting edge technology.

I'm experimenting with a personal project in my spare time and trying to use the pen tool on our Summa s2 t160 to create some drawings. There's not really much documentation on the pen tool in the Summa manual or in the software manuals (Caldera for print and cut, MacSign Cut/WinPlot for og...

We went with a platform called Pressero, by Aleyant Software. We needed something that could handle digital sheetfed and offset production as well as wide format without needing to have developers on staff and Pressero was super versatile and is designed to be (relatively) easy to set up and...

I put a strip of white vinyl on the cutting strip and it read the marks just fine. As soon as the OPOS was done scanning everything I paused the cutter and peeled off the vinyl just to be sure that it didn't interfere with anything. Im going to do some tests leaving the vinyl on the cutting...

I spent a while researching this because we’re redoing our website as well. We ended up going with an e-commerce platform that was specifically built for printers and it includes a personalization module. Some of the other ones I was looking into were PitchPrint (plug-in for Wordpress sites)...

Side note...does this make anyone else think of Mr Holland's Opus? Just me? Movie night this weekend?
