The cutter protection strip on Summa machines is a fabric-like surface which is far more robust than teflon. While still a consumable, the Summa strip tends to last much longer when perf cutting. The other option on the Graphtec would be to run both the kiss and perf cuts in position 3 (forward...

+1. In SAI/ Flexi, they are called Color Bands. You can enable them on any of the four sides of the print (see attachment). They are found on the Labels Tab of the Default/ Job Properties dialog.

Can you post a pic?

The Latex 365 (and up) has an i1 spectrophotometer on-board. This supports the ability to build entire custom media presets (profiles) directly on the printer. The Latex 335 and down have a densitometer on-board, but not a spectro. Previous generations of Latex were halftone printers, and an...

I would recommend.020 material. There are presets for magnetic media on the Media Solutions Locator that can be added from the printer front panel or EWS.

To address the concerns in the original post: HP Latex 365 (or higher) would be my recommendation. These printers contain an on-board color measurement instrument (i1 Pro), plus the software to create custom media presets, including the custom ICC Profile, completely on-board the printer. This...

There is a new design for the maintenance cartridges on low-volume latex printers, All 100, 300 and 500 Series share the same cartridge, so the new ones have an additional cap for the second OP head used on the 500 Series, and the angle of the rubber wiper blade has been changed to reduce the...

Open the Preferences Manager and reset to factory. You will need to reconfigure your output devices, so verify your device I/O settings before resetting the program.

The take-up system on the Latex 260 is very similar to the Latex 360. The 500 Series uses a spindle-less media feed/ take-up system, which is quite different from the 300 Series.

I take it that these inks are easy to scratch after printing?

Pass counts are not directly tied to distance. The value represents the number of times that the carriage will pass over a given location, and potentially deposit ink. 1-pass printing means that the media advance distance between passes would be roughly equivalent to the print swath, 2-pass...

Any update on this?

Post a pic of the nozzle test and a separate pic of the banding visible in a file.

To the OP: What was your previous 'old' workflow (pre-Summa)?

Install the output platen protectors (2) which come with the printer (model 360 and up). They are intended to be used for porous textiles and banner medias which tend to stick to the platen surfaces in the curing tunnel. If they have been misplaced, please call HP Service and order another set...

Start with the HP Media Solutions Locator site. It is accessed from the printer's front panel, or a computer browser. There are a number of Orafol/ Oracal medias there, but I don't believe that 3651 was there the last time I checked. It is a calendared polymeric vinyl, and there are several...

Can the OP post a picture of the output?

Print throughput has not changed between the two.

Both sensor systems are located on the printer's carriage. The Line Sensor is used for sensing the paper skew and width, and aligning printheads among other things. The Colour Sensor can be used for colorimetric and densitometric measurements. Of the two, the Line Sensor is perhaps the more...
