"i corona" Hi This effect is caused by the corrugated plastic you are using. When it is manufactured the supplier applies a corona treatment to the surface using high voltage electricity which changes the energy level of the plastic and allows the ink to flow and stick properly. This corona...

18 pass & 1200dpi rip resolution I guess we need to be clear if we are referencing the printer or rip resolutions here. The 1200dpi rip resolution is only available with 18 pass profiles - lower or higher and you have a max of 600dpi - if you run a profile at any other pass rate the rip will...

attached doc will explain Attached document explains it all...

Higher Ink limits So I have these now and when you build a new profile you get an extra generic media to base your profile on named "Vivid" - the pass rates are restricted to the higher ones eg 12, 16 & 20p and they have extra headroom on the ink limits eg 12p gives a spread up to 185% for SAV...

Yes this is one of those fixes where an experienced engineer counts - there a few cowboys around who don't take the time. If a roller is blamed it should be an easy one to check - turn the foam roller around and see if the telescoping goes the other way? Also some forego the first roller...

R2R accuracy Only one reason for this and only one answer & it's very straight forward - a properly-installed R2R kit will move in & out by a max of 1cm - any more than this and it either was installed poorly or your machine has been bumped / moved / settled after install. Either way the R2R...

encoder strip Never changed one - had FB500 for three years and now an FB750. How are you cleaning it? Every 40 hours use (20 with white ink if I remember?) you need to clean the top surface only of the strip -and nothing should be used to clean the underneath where the info is printed - it...

HP Latex 850 An operator / user cannot alter this - the user maintenance routines & Preventative Maintenance servicing rely on accurate usage reporting so there's no way to change this. On the IPS software running the machine you can generate a Service Info page "Information - Service...

OMAS Yes sort of...OMAS sits under the media and takes images of the texture of your medias back surface - it expects to see the same pattern repeated further along as the media moves - if the pattern is out due to whatever reason (media expansion / contraction / environmental issues etc etc)...

And another POV! Sorry Mike not sure I agree - The FB range (500,550,700 & 750) are new in relation to the old Colorspans. The printers you may be referring to are the HP H35000 and H45000 which came after the Colorspans and before the FBs. These certainly were the updated versions of the...

some possible ideas I use Onyx and it takes the exact page size from the printer and uses it - i.e if the media width is 54.07" as read by the printer on loading - Onyx will import this exact 54.07" page size and use this as the page size you can print to. It will also allow you to select the...

HP FB UV printers Hi The roll to roll will print onto most substrates and is unusually flexible when compared to most UV ink - but flexible does not mean stretchable. You can print without cracking onto flexible substrates - textiles, SAV etc but it cannot be used in applications where...

Wow! Seems to be a very high proportion that 'hate' their latex! - it's certainly not my experience and I have sold over a thousand Latex printers and am responsible for color support. I currently don't have a single outstanding support call re colour consistency but have had a handful in the...

No - you just need to find the right one. Not sure if you can get this where you are - Neschen Solvoprint Crystal Panel 300 - but it does not scratch at all with v3 latex ink using sharp objects or over many hundred pull-up applications and its very good with v1 & v2 latex inks also. It has a...

There's no rip saving here - the bundled rip software has to be upgraded straight away if you want to use your cutter and the cost will be similar to buying Onyx in the first place. As Onyx is the superior rip and will help you when you expand your business with more kit, you might as well bite...

that's good info - thanks for the feedback guys!

Could be a Shakespeare fan? No maybe not ;-) Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Having had a number of users complain of poor cutting accuracy with Latex the resolution nearly always seems to be correct media selection. Assuming the cutter is calibrated and the printer has a good profile with minimal heat, swapping between vinyls has a huge effect on contour cutting...

Motorbike Decals The best device for this application is a Summa DC5 - it prints and cuts using spot colors and fancy golds, silvers, holographics etc and outlasts any solvent outdoors. These are the default printers for small vehicles that will undergo aggressive environments (most F1 teams...

Yup - thanks...didn't spot that! I'll ping HP to see if there's another that forces the max vac in the curing zone.
