Although very different in composition, in the context of bonding, powder coating layers are considered as plastics. The adhesion on powder coated surfaces shows very different results because powder coatings contains fluoropolymer additives as surface-tension modifier polytetrafluoroethylene...

Onyx added custom ICC profile functionality to the Postershop package in version 11.1

Bingo. Eco-solvent printers require papers that have specific coatings built for solvent ink. You cannot run aqueous coated papers, or offset coated, or un-coated bond papers in any eco-solvent printer, and expect a satisfactory result. Solvent ink requires PVC-based media, or specific...

Color reproduction is definitely a potential minefield, with many variables to consider. The concept of device dependency is not well understood in this market, either by PSPs or smaller end customers. The reality is that process color builds are always device dependent, media dependent, and...

What media product (manufacturer/ media #) is being used when this occurs? The raised platen dot rows are not linear, but are positioned in a wave pattern on the print platens. As such, they are unlikely to be the cause of this image quality defect.

OMS (Open Media System) files are specific to Gen3 HP Latex printers. These include the Latex 100 / 300 / 500 / 1500 and 3000 Series printers. The new Latex R-Series flatbed printers also support and use OMS files. OMS files install and reside inside the printer itself, and the printer shares...

PM sent to the OP Jordan, I would be happy to have a chat to discuss your questions in detail. PM me if interested, and I'll get you my cell.

When 3M first came to market with IJ480, there was only one version of the product. It is an un-coated non-PVC film, and the initial version of the product was compatible with HP Latex, but was incompatible with most eco-solvent inks. Some time later, 3M introduced a coated version of IJ480 to...

Avery Greenline medias are non -inkjet coated polypropylene films. They are not presently listed on the HP Media Locator, but that does not mean that they are incompatible with HP Latex printers. I have run similar films with success, by using a relatively high pass count, combined with...

Curing units are referenced 1-4, with unit 1 located toward the Front Panel side of the printer.

Series 789 inks used in first-generation Latex (L25500 & L65500 printers) are being discontinued. Gen 1 Latex printers are at least 7 years out of production, and the number of units in the field has declined significantly, with most users having upgraded to newer generations of HP Latex...

I assume that this is an offset coated stock, and there is no pre-built preset available on the Media Locator. Non inkjet coated paper-based medias can tend to be a more challenging media class for HP Gen3 Latex printers. On the other hand, these papers cannot be run at all on solvent. The...

Moving from the L25500 to the 500 Series will be amazing. Printer warm-up time goes from around 10 minutes to 2 minutes, print speed is about 2x faster, better media handling, more scratch resistant ink, the list goes on and on. You may need to update your RIP to drive the 500 - your re-seller...

It is a specialized application, but can be very profitable with the right customer base. Hydro-dipping requires water-based pigment ink - this is yet another application which is available to HP Latex users, but not to users of eco-solvent or UV printers.

Hi ColorCrest, I would like to have a quick chat. As you are not allowing PMs, can I ask that you ping me? P. Wagner

The media may be contaminated. Static cling vinyl is noted for short shelf life due to plasticiser migration. To test this, clean one specific area with Isopropyl Alcohol, and mark that area with a marker. Then load the roll and print a job that extends inside and outside of the cleaned area...

HP makes a gift wrap paper that works with Pagewide XL and HP Latex printers. It is the same weight (100 gsm) and thickness as standard wrapping paper. http://support.hplfmedia.com/docs/hp-satin-wrapping-paper-3-in-core-1

There are over 100 training videos that HP has published for Latex printers, covering literally dozens of applications, systems, and topics. I would recommend that you bookmark them, starting here:
