Update the printer firmware to current version, either through a USB stick or via the Embedded Web Server interface. Here is a link to current firmware: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-latex-365-printer/12709301 In the event that the firmware update fails, run the Hard Drive...

No, that is not a dancer bar, it is a diverter roller. the Latex 700/ 800 Series has a TUR system that is directly synchronized with the media advance, rather than activated by a dancer. The diverter roller comes into play when the media is being wound print-side-in on the TUR. I have never...

Here is a video tutorial that describes how to work with the white ink channel in Photoshop.

The 'dpi' referenced in the RIP is not the resolution that the printer is printing at. It is the resolution of the raster data set that the RIP generates and sends to the printer. The printer converts the pixel information into 'dots' at a higher print resolution. For most print modes this is...

HP Latex printers introduced since 2013 are Contone (continuous tone) devices. Most large-format printers are Halftone devices. With Latex devices, the media package on the printer contains a number of Print Modes (at least one, but often times more). These print modes define many attributes...

The Grayback version is: https://www.ultraflexx.com/product/supersmooth-pet-greyback/

Scale corrections are specific to the media print used, along with the print mode being used. If the printer is not producing consistent scale results on the media/ print mode, there is no way for software to correct for random scale behavior. As stated in the original post, you printed 2x with...

It is not at all unusual that there could be size deviations between the file size and printed output size, most commonly in the media feed axis. This can occur with any roll feed printer. Most RIPs have a compensation function to automatically correct this (corrections are based on the...

Solvent ink acts directly on the vinyl, thinning the film. As cast SAV is already thin, the danger is that the ink can act on the adhesive, making it stickier, gummier and more aggressive. As more solvent ink is deposited, the more this is likely to occur.

Calendared vinyl print media can be categorized into two types: Monomeric and Polymeric. Monomeric SAV uses monomeric plasticizers, while Polymeric vinyl uses polymeric plasticizers. Polymeric films tend to be more thermally stable, shrink less, last longer, and cost somewhat more than monomeric...

It appears from the screen grab that the printer is on a different IP range than the cutter (with completely different IP range for each). Generally, the IP range should be the same for the first two or three octets, with a unique number for each device in the last octet (PC/ printer/ cutter)...

Check the media width being reported when the media is loaded - under the Substrate Menu. Do not engage he media edge holders during the media loading, as they can cause the printer to mid-report media width. They can be slid into place if desired after loading the media if desired, although...

There are many smooth banner products that do not exhibit visual scrim. Herculite Bantex is one brand that has been around for years. Ultraflexx makes a number of smooth banner medias, as do other manufacturers.

Multi-tile jobs should also be set to Center Justification in the RIP, and not Left or Right. This appears to be Right Justified.

There are 48 textiles/ fabrics that have been Certified as Durable Textiles for the Latex 1500. They are listed on the PrintOS Media Locator, and you can download the OMS for each from the locator. There are both synthetic polyester and natural fibers (cotton, linen) medias on the site. Durable...

As mentioned, you should have a PrintOS account that provides data for both printers. The Print Beat / PrintOS 4 PSP mobile app can provide very accurate ink consumption data about each print job, as well as aggregated totals for the printer life. For wraps that are being laminated, it is...

Why don't you post a picture of your nozzle test print pattern.

If you do wraps, just be aware that eco-solvent Orange/ Green/ Red inks are expressly excluded from coverage from the 3M MCS/ Avery ICS Warranty (as are eco-sol white inks).

I’ve also got the Epson 5070L and love it. My dealer really helped me sway to the Epson even though they are also and HP dealer. I’ve done some backlight signs with really really good results. I’d like to see the HP backlight sign to compare When you say 'backlit', are you referring to a print...

If you prefer opaque paper-based media (rather than PET/ PVC), look into Neenah Blox-Lite paper
