Invest in a Keencut Sabre. Hard to find them used but occasionally you'll get lucky. We have 3 printers running nothing but wall murals 8 hours a day and one person can trim and ship every panel that comes out and not get behind. We have the 100" cutter mounted flush to the edge of a 5x10 table...

Mine broke a few months ago. Ordered a new one from partshere or another one of these 3rd party parts houses. All they do is order it direct from HP and it's drop-shipped to your door and saves about 10-15% over ordering from HP. Took me about 20-30 mins to remove the old one and install new one.

We are looking for a very experienced wrap installer (150+ vehicles) to work on a freelance basis in the Raleigh-Durham area. I simply can't handle the demand myself anymore and need some fill-in work from time to time. Experience with Sprinters a must. Send contact info and portfolio with...

I've posted a few times on my experience with STS inks, I ran them in a 360 for a few months without issues. Instead of going into it all again, I suggest you contact Matt over there, he will likely let you try some cartridges at no charge. Also, I will agree that if you're doing low/moderate...

I understand your frustration 100% but I don't believe this machine was designed with the idea in mind of maximizing every single square inch of material usage. I have some materials that I can load, then rewind to where the origin is only 1-3" from the leading edge and start , much like our old...

Remove the left cover of the machine and look on the backside of the ink supply station. I've got 2 360's and have had ink leaks in both recently that fried the ISS PCA boards. IMO, it's a design flaw to put uncovered sensitive electronics directly underneath the ink station, but it is what it...

Morkel, I'm curious about this process. We've had intermittent issues with misaligning of wallpaper panels, most of which we feel we've solved, but it seems due to environmental factors we still have the occasional misaligned panels. I'm wondering what is happening when the machine goes to...

Have you used any of the STS inks or are you basing this on conjecture? I, in no way whatsoever, work for or am affiliated with STS inks, I've just been using them on one of my 2 360's for the last few months. The first couple of months went flawlessly. I saw no difference in color at all...

Wow, I've never even heard of these. I have 2 of the probably the first batch of 360's put into service, from May 2014-ish. This is pretty much exactly what's happening with this machine. I will get in touch with HP regarding this, however, in the near term are there any other solutions like...

Oh yes, definitely using the take up reel. I'm using the Grimco "certified" profile for this material, the heat is only at 160 degrees F and the banner is bunching up in the curing area before it exits the printer. Eventually this leads to buckling in the platen area, then a head crash.

I am an experienced Latex 360 user who is having trouble finding a compatible mesh with this printer. I used a few different mesh banners with the L25500 and with an older Roland XC-540 but the temp/vacuum is wreaking havoc on the "Key Banner Mesh" I bought from Grimco on the newest generation...

I have seen neither issue as of yet, but time will tell I guess. Ink level reporting so far has been spot on, obviously disabling the drop-detector is not as easy to check. These both sound like HP scare tactics to me. I did some rudimentary scratch tests and was unable to do any worse...

I print murals, and only murals, mostly in multiple panels, all day long. We only print on Latex 360's and I can definitely say I've seen the same thing. Rotating your panels 180 degrees won't really help the overall length of a panel being short, but it certainly can help ease color shifts...

Circling back to this, we've just run most of the way through our first set of HP 831 inks from STS inks out of Florida. We tried the 789 inks on our old L25500's with mixed results, but I feel like I can blame some of those tests on the printer/printheads and not necessarily the inks. Still...

I'm about to buy my 3rd 360.

Short answer - it works, just not all that great. We print 8 hours a day using Wasatch and the 360's but there are plenty of bugs. To this day, there have been NO updates since the driver was first written in September 2014. HP has upgraded firmware several times since then, but there's been...

I briefly considered it, but we were one of the first adopters of the 360's so the 370 wasnt even on the radar at the time. I'd like to think that I can run these 360's for the same 4-5 years that I did with the 25500's before needing new equipment, but demand may require an additional machine...

I am currently running HP 789 inks from STS in an old L25500 we had sitting around. We ran into these guys at SGIA and talked for a while and saw the 831 inks running in a 360 they had on the floor. We decided to start with the 789 inks so we could do some testing on it before going any...

As a former Roland / Versaworks user, I made the unfortunate decision to choose the Wasatch RIP about 6 years ago when we first started printing on the L25500's. They worked mostly fine on the L25500, with only minor gripes. Fast forward to 2014, we bought 2 L360's hoping to run them on our...

I guess there are multiple ways to do it, but it depends if the machine is on or not. If it's off, then what I would do is manually move the printhead cleaning cartridge to the front, then remove. Shine a flashlight in there and see if anything is visible. You probably won't be able to reach...
