  2. Basic mechanics of the HP Latex 800

    We are printing panels for a wrap. My production team is sending the entire job from ONYX to the printer at one time, therefore the printer prints 12-15 panels at a time. We are noticing some droplets of ink in random spots on the prints. My personal educated guess is it is because they sent...
