When it comes to comparing the durability and longevity of different printers and inks, it can be helpful to compare the warranties available from media vendors for specific printers and inks. One of the most recognized of these is the 3M MCS warranty. Here is a link (scroll down to the MCS...

Inspect and clean the rubber seals on the Maintenance Cartridge, or replace it if the cap seals are old, brittle or torn.

Summa cutters speak DMPL

Is there an SDS document for Hawk Cleanink?

Hi Joe, Thank you for clarifying this. The functionality that I referenced is available with HP Latex Plus Cutters, but I was not aware if the capabilities have been also rolled out to other cutter brands. The Latex Plus Cutter barcode is not the same as Summa barcode formatting, so...

The current version of Flexi (version 21) might have this functionality with your cutter. Open the Job Properties dialog > Labels and Marks Tab. SAI/ Flexi 21 HP Edition + Latex 700W/ 800W printers + HP Latex Plus Cutters offer the ability to print white ink underneath registration marks and HP...

If the ink is significantly expired (more than a few months), it is possible for the pigments to drop out of solution. This results in pigment-depleted ink which lacks the proper amount of colorant. From the pics, it is possible that the yellow ink (and possibly other inks) has fallen out of...

Go to the HP PrintOS Media Locator: https://www.printos.com/ml/#/medialocator Select Latex, then click the blue filter icon > Type = Durable Textiles > Apply. The technical notes will tell you if the Ink Collector is recommended for use with the selected media. The Take-Up Reel is needed for...

On the Graphtec FC, would flipping the strip 180 degrees invert the locations of the flat (kiss cut) and channel (perf cut)?

Make sure that you are using the heavily shielded black Ethernet cable that shipped with the cutter itself. The close proximity of the Ethernet port to the cylindrical steel rollers causes data interference as the media moves back and forth over the rollers. The interference builds up as the job...

How are you accomplishing this? Historically, Flexi Cut on Summa roll-feed cutters has been optimized for rectangles only.

You can take color measurements from physical objects with an i1 Pro spectrophotometer. The device will capture LAB values which can then be associated with the closest Pantone, or directly through the creation of a new spot color (non Pantone) in the design tool & RIP.

Have you ever created a new, custom print mode (with a new reference CLC and custom ICC)? This should be doable with the on-board i1 and internal color engine on any white opaque film. Also, I see that you recently attempted to repair the internal i1 sensor by replacing it's shutter. It is...

Are any of the inks expired (in particular the light cyan/ Cyan/ Yellow)?

Clean the linear encoder and sensor.

Good suggestions...also clean the pinch rollers and main drive roller (all of it) to ensure that there are no contaminates on either surface.

Did the job cut with the missing line segments? More than likely, this is a display resolution issue that wouldn't occur in the actual cuts.

Run the OPOS Calibration. It is best to run this using a 20+ inch square of black cutter vinyl with white paper release liner (ideally not white SAV printed black). The procedure should be in your user manual for the cutter.

Multiple years should not be an issue with this application. In typical laminated applications, HP messages 5-years of expected longevity. By way of comparison, the 3M MCS Warranty is 7-years with this inkset.
