99% Isopropyl alcohol. Some ACM works better than others. We've found some you can scrape off with your thumb nail, while others (not even necessarily the designated "digital print" variety) will have a much higher bond with the ink.

So, after giving up and switching all of our printing to our 570, one of its heads takes a dump. Appears to be the #7 yellow/magenta. Put two different, brand new heads in it and still have the same issue (photo attached). So - clearly not a head problem - maybe cable connection? Has anyone seen...

It seems asinine that you have to guess what heads are bad, possibly waste heads, etc. It seems to be an ongoing issue with us, and I've never received a straight answer. I have a 570 that is now having an issue with print quality and I'm doing the same freaking thing. It's total guess work and...

Now to complicate matters, when I went to print a non-color critical banner I got the following out of the printer. It was printing fine, but I canceled to reposition the banner in the middle of the roll. When I restarted It started doing the zebra stripes. When I printed the test, I got the...

Yeah 360 and even 560/70 would be basically the same. We have a few heads out of warranty, but that has never before caused an issue. And at this point, I want to avoid the crap shoot of replacing heads until the problem is fixed. That turns a $100+ problem into a $300-$400+ dollar problem if...

We're running a HP 370, and have a reoccurring issue. This time we're printing a longer project that has a darker green on it. over the course of about 3 feet it lightens up and then is a slightly banded lighter green. So a head must be going bad right? Check the heads, none are above 3,000...

So, are others seeing their inks run out prior to the on-screen warning? How does one check for this without substantial time commitment (weighing boxes, opening and reviewing prior to changing)?

Yes, we took it apart to peak inside. I believe there would have been constriction on the flow of ink due to the bag being sucked up like that. There certainly wasn't a quarter liter left.

Thinking this has to do with color shift as well. The printer said there .22 liters of ink left. Checked the bag to find it was nearly completely empty and it seemed to be starving the system of cyan, considering the bag was fully sucked to the outflow tube. Guessing we be more closely...

Additional Considerations: Do ink levels (low cartridges) have an affect on color? Would an aging or nearly full maintenance cartridge be an issue? Currently, all our print heads are 2,500ml or lower, yet our last wrap has varying color from panel to panel.

When you say calibrating color profiles, are you doing this through the RIP, or are you referencing the on-board color calibration?

I understand they are consumables - changing preemptively seems like the only way to guarantee you won't slowly start losing a head and getting a color skew, only to notice after a substantial amount of vinyl needs to be reprinted. I'd be curious to know how many people go this route versus how...

We're experiencing issues with our latex printers. Currently we run both a 370 and a 570. Neither seem to be able to produce consistent colors. For example, a recent wrap had each panel printing progressively lighter, which wasn't noticed until they were laminated and laid out next to each...

I'm looking to create 1,000 of the attached "tags," 125 each of 8 files. I'm thinking screen printing would be the best approach, but open to options. Please note - UV flatbed has been tried and rejected due to lack of clarity/color, hence my thoughts on screen printing. They are 3" x 1-3/4"...

I need someone to print a coroplast sign and deliver to a local (Medford, OR) business. The cost to ship is exceeding the cost of the sign, so I figured I could just have someone print it there. Would anyone in Medford be willing to help?

We're looking to replace our ageing plotter, and have settled on the Summa T-Series. However, I'm a bit torn on the camera system versus the regular optical sensor for registration cutting. Is the camera worth the additional cost? Does the regular optical system work well with laminated vinyl...

Hello, I was hoping that someone would be able to open a .JOB (Sharpcut) file and export out as a PDF. I don't have the software required to do this, but need to review the file. Alternatively, if there is a way to do this in CC or something else that I'm missing, a tip on how to do it on my...

We purcahsed a Kala Mistral about 3 months ago and have been in love with it since. Please note, we were coming from a 10-15 year old Seal (no take up, no feed, misaligned, couldn't track), so pretty much anything would have been an upgrade. However, for the price, the features offered, the...

Thank you. Guess that was an easy one - at least for everyone else.

I can't find this one. Also don't know if it's true italics or forced.
