For window applications that use spot white or 2-layer (Underflood or Overflood) print modes, 60-percent white can work well, and you get the added benefit of faster print speeds - as fast as 183 ft2/hr using spot white. Agree with Balstestrat that white ink jobs should ideally be batched...

There are a few medias (primarily poster and photopapers) that ran fine in the L2 machines that are not compatible with the 300/ 500 Series, as they react in the manner that you describe. One common example is HP Photo-Realistic Poster Paper. It is not recommended on the 300, but ran fine on...

Static cling medias are typically used with windows and non-ferrous metals like aluminum. For walls, some type of adhesive is required. Low tack pressure-sensitive for removability is a widely used choice - most vendors have products in this category.

See attached for the location of the Optimize for Lamination checkbox in Onyx - it is located in Job Editor, and not Media Manager.

There are two different ways of turning off the anti-scratch Overcoat: 1) In the Media Preset Print Mode at the front panel of the printer (under Advanced Settings - this is a global setting that affects all jobs using this print mode) set Overcoat to 0 2) In the RIP (enable the checkbox called...

There are two possibilities for ink smears: 1) media/ carriage contact 2) media/ curing unit roof contact For the first, increase the vacuum setting to keep the media flat in the print zone. For the second, increase the amount of front tension (engage the take-up if present, or use a strap to...

It depends on what you are looking to accomplish. In the attached drawing, the top rectangles were created using 4 horizontal line segments and 11 vertical. In the bottom the graphic was created using 32 discrete rectangles.

Are you kiss cutting (cutting the film while leaving the release liner uncut), or through cutting (cutting through the backer leaving small tabs)?

You are looking at moving from photo printers that print almost exclusively on fragile aqueous coated papers, to machines that are built primarily for outdoor-durable applications, using a far wider range of medias - in particular, uncoated PCV. Aqueous photo printers provide the most...

If you are working entirely within the software RIP (encompassing the ink restrictions, linearization, and ICC), you only need the basic i1 Pro. If you want to use the XRite color engine (i1Profiler) and want to create CMYK printer profiles, you would need the i1Publish unit.

The HP PrintOS Media Locator is a terrific resource for this type of question: https://www.printos.com/ml/#/homeMediaLocator You can filter the search results by printer, application, media manufacturer, and more. Most banner medias will run well, but papers can be a bit more of a challenge on...

This is now located in Production Manager > Job Properties > Cut Tab > Job Options button (see attached screen grab).

Yes, the 3M MCS vehicle warranty is 7 years (zone2) and includes white ink.

Scrim banner hides a lot of printer sins... solid area fills on SAV or photopaper may yield a different result.

What does the nozzle test print look like? It is located under Image Quality Maintenance > Clean Printheads > Test Print

With the 700/ 800 Series, the anti-scratch agent in the inkset has been separated into it's own channel (supply + printhead). It is possible to turn off this Overcoat fluid in cases where laminate is being used - benefits of this are to improve the laminate bond with the ink, and get some ink...

Thank you, I stand corrected.

It sounds like you are describing one of the edge guards - see attached pic. The edge guards must be properly installed - they do not go in the gap between the print platen and cure unit where the X-cutter knife travels. The X-cutter does not need to be installed. As previously mentioned, the...

The X-cutter should be physically attached to the carriage - can you take a pic of it and post?

I would expect that the Epson Resin printer should be able to print on uncoated vinyl as well as many solvent and aqueous coated films, fabrics, canvas etc. This is the case with HP Latex as well.
