  1. Avery 1105 Print Issue...

    +1. If the ink is not sufficiently dry before it hits the take-up reel, you will have this problem (ink transfer). You can crank the heater, reduce the ink volume, and/ or print at a slower speed.

  4. Does Ai not embed profile when saves as EPS?

    EPS files are a legacy file format and as such, do not support the use of working space profiles. PDF files support the use of working spaces, but not all PDF files make use of this.

  6. hp 310 how print small cuts of vinyl?

    HP Latex 100/ 300/ 500 Series printers have the ability to print on media as narrow as 15 inches in width. There is a function in the Substrate Menu called Enable Narrow Substrate which needs to be set to Yes for this. As others have mentioned, physically attaching small cut sheet scraps to a...
  7. Any grammar gurus here ?

    Not claiming to be a grammar guru, but: Assuming that the visitors don't actually own the center, it would be correct w/o the apostrophe. P Wagner
  8. 1200 DPI on L360?

    The HP Latex 300 Series printers (as well as 500 Series) always print at 1200 dpi in the carriage scan direction, regardless of the pass count being used. When printing at > 16 pass, the printer is printing at 1200x1200 dpi. Below that pass count, the printer is printing at 600 dpi in the media...
  9. HP Latex 110... Awesome!

    It's great to hear that you are so pleased with your HP Latex 110 printer. Just a couple of points that I would like to clarify: 1. All models of HP Latex 300 Series (plus the 100 Series) print at 1200x600 dpi at pass counts up to 16, and 1200x1200dpi at pass counts greater than 16. 2...
  10. Printing on Marine Grade vinyl?

    Upholstery Vinyl Can you identify a manufacturer or source for this upholstery vinyl that you have used successfully? Did you apply a liquid over-laminate after printing? Thank you for any insight into your experiences. P. Wagner
  11. Roland ECO Solvent vs HP Latex

    I agree with all of this. The only additional point that I would make is that unlike most manufacturers of eco-solvent printers (excepting Epson and possibly Seiko), HP patents cover all of the basic technology building blocks that are used in Latex printers. These include ink chemistry...
  12. HP latex 25500 smearing prints while printing??

    It is difficult to say whether or not you are seeing head strikes on the media when printing this internal calibration plot. Those plots are used to calibrate printheads etc, but are not intended for users to base qualitative decisions on. On the L2 machines, it is difficult to see the media in...

    Is the second image a picture of the backing paper?
  14. Mesh Banner Recommendations for Latex 360

    Are you using the platen covers that get inserted into the curing unit? Some banner PVC medias get very soft when going through the curing unit, and will then stick to the grates, which results in head strikes. The platen covers will keep this from happening. They ship with newer 360/ 370s, and...
  15. Ink replacement mid-job? HP L300

    Yes, it is possible to replace an empty cartridge mid-job. It will stop printing and alert the operator with audible beeps. The ink train is pressurized, so you will need to go to the printer's main control panel and initiate the cartridge change from there. You have a finite amount of time to...
  16. when you are ready to throw in the towel

    All good suggestions to avoid this ink transfer problem in the future. Or use HP Latex instead of solvent ink.
  17. Latex Fog

    The 'fog' is water vapor (gas phase of water), after it has cooled.
  18. Epson 60670 Pausing/Hesitating?

    Much more likely to be due to more network bandwidth being consumed by having both devices running concurrently than by heat. The printer is waiting for data, which causes the pauses in between each pass.
  19. Skewed feed on 360

    Regarding the skew issue: Are you using the take-up reel when this issue occurs or not?
  20. color profile icc

    Using the assumption that you are printing on opaque (not backlit or textile) medias, I would recommend the XRite i1 PublishPro 2 system. It includes the measurement instrument, all accessories, and CMYK ICC Profiling, which should be compatible with all current RIPs that support externally...
