PS, looking again at your photo, I'm convinced that it's not running hot enough / printing too fast for the heat settings. Theoretically if the ink was staying wet it could cause those ripples. Do you have a higher res version of the pic? I can't be sure, but it looks like you can see...

No probs Al, happy to help where I can. Did you look in to the vacuum settings? It was rare that we had head strike problems on SAV, and even then it was old monomeric (1-2 yr) vinyls that had cheap liners, ie, paper-based ones that'd absorb moisture and swell up (despite having air-con and...

Neither do we. We just tape the prints to the walls outside or bring a portable table outside and tape them to that. A lot faster than 2 days!

Yeah you've just banged the head's nozzles. Hopefully it's just ink that's blocked them and they're not physically damaged. Make sure after you clean it you do a full nozzle test and make sure every nozzle is firing.

Really appreciate your insight here. Thanks heaps, gives me something to go back to HP with. Not the Onyx vs Caldera stuff, but the fact that they aren't as consistent as we've all been led to believe.

The only way to speed up the "will the silvering go away" process is to put the stickers out in the direct sun for a few hours after laminating. If after that time there is still the silvering look, then it's not going away.

Feel free to join me over here and let me know if your issue is the same as mine: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?128041-Latex-360-color-consistency-is-not-there

From memory (we got rid of ours about 5 years ago), there was an anomaly where if you moved the X origin point for the print it'd still print the X dots right on the zero point. Same as if you centred the print instead. You had to print if left justified and with zero offset for the print/cut to...

Bloody hell, everyone except us are asleep, aren't they.

Hello, friend. <looks around, clearly outnumbered>. Gold Coast here.

Hello! I've already hijacked one thread already so I thought I better introduce myself. I'm Michael, from Australia (that should answer your questions on why I spell things like Colour, Organise, Grey, etc). I've been a graphic designer since I finished Uni in 2000 and have been a graphic...

Hey Al, This is a great printer to start out with - it's the second one I ever had and I loved it. Only got rid of it about 6 months ago and that was because we had no more room (bought a HP 360). As you'll find as you move forward, there's potentially 20 explanations for every issue. You'll...

Sounds like he wants to pull the whole assembly out. But you might be right - if he's only needing to change the rollers themselves he doesn't need to take the assembly out to do so.

Well the mystery deepens. It appears as if the calibrations are doing something, just not what's expected. Once again, printed the first test strip with 2015's profile. Then did new calibration & new ICC profile to see if it did anything. It did, but if anything the calibration it took it more...

When you say white acrylic, is it an acrylic that is made to be backlit (translucent)? We use "opal" acrylic (not "white") for backlits. If the acrylic has not been manufactured for being lit, it would definitely be duller and potentially off-colour. If it's made to be backlit, then yep, 100%...

I assumed it cleared out any calibration and set the ink levels back to what they were in the "Generic SAV" preset. Effectively starting from scratch, which is why I did it. All the more confusing that clearing it out & doing a new calibration / ICC did nothing, yet creating a brand new media...

Technically I'm not the OP, I just jumped in when I saw that someone else was having problems :) As to what I've marked in red, you could well be on to something. One of the steps I took earlier was that I reset the colour calibration back to factory. I then did a new calibration. As you'll see...

Two suggestions: * As above, try printing uni-direction. We've found that printing bi-direction leaves stepped areas of a different sheen. * Is the colour made purely of black ink? We've found that using a pure ink does give quite noticeable banding, especially in dark greys. If you have your...

If it was one or two colours that I was trying to hit (and everything else was acceptable) I would possibly go down that road. But in my case it's the whole spectrum that's shifted. And because it seems I can get back to the original colours by building medias from scratch, that is going to be...
