In my opinion, the 3rd-generation inkset used in the Latex 300-series is more abrasion-resistant than eco-solvent inks on most PCV medias (SAV and to a lesser extent banner), as well as on many paper and film medias. Abrasion resistant doesn't mean scratch proof, so any environment which...

The FC7000 is supported by the Cutting Master 2 plug-in, which can be downloaded at no cost from the Graphtec web site: http://www.graphtecamerica.com/graphtec-america-support-downloads-cutting-plotters-discontinued-legacy-cutting-plotters-fc7000-series You will still need a design tool...

I agree completely with your point. Cleaning an entire roll would be difficult on it's best day. However if one is in a pinch to get a job out today, cleaning a section may be the only option in some cases. Regarding the question of media profiles for the L25500 printer, HP has created a...

The wave marks are produced by the media drive rollers. This root cause of this issue is typically roll-specific, where plasticizers have migrated to and are now polluting the print surface of the media. Here is more on what plasticizers are, and why they are put into PVC-based media products...

There are heat transfer medias what work well with HP Latex machines. Here is a recent discussion on the topic: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?123495-hp-latex-310-printing-heat-transfer&highlight=Latex+heat+transfer

Can the OP post a high resolution image of the current Media Feed Calibration chart (not the entire thing, just the current selection and maybe one or two adjacent)? The chart looks like a series of capital T letters...It needs to be high res to be able to see the diamond pattern inside of the...

That nozzle test looks close to perfect for the K channel. How does the Media Feed Calibration test print look (T-test) for the media that you are using? Note that the media feed calibration needs to be individually dialed-in for each media that you print on.

I would agree that the issue that you are experiencing is directly related to the nozzle performance of your K (black) printhead. Black does tend to cause nozzle deflections before other colors. Avoiding head strikes and regular and meticulous cleaning of the head (using swabs to physically...

You can get a very accurate ink usage from the HP Latex machines by using the Embedded Web Server. The EWS is accessed through a web browser, by plugging in the printer's IP Address on your network. From there, drill down to Accounting > Jobs to obtain ink usage for any recent job. Ink usage...

Current FW for the Latex 260/ L26500 is SP_12.0.0.5 Here is a link to obtain it: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5053951 .

The answer to your question depends on the setting that has been chosen on your printer. If internet access is available, the printer can be set to check for updates and then either inform the operator to them, or automatically install them. Alternatively, that functionality can also be...

The latest firmware update on the Latex 300 series was pushed out last week to resolve this. That firmware is version is NEXUS_00_06_02.10

I am sorry to hear of the problems you have experienced with your HP Latex 260. With the HP Latex machines, printhead longevity is affected by many variables and it is important that everything be set-up properly in order to maximize usage from thermal printheads. First, be sure to upgrade...

Custom profiles that have been used in a RIP-based production environment have a very high value to the business, but I don't know how to quantify it. The last step in the profile creation process (after validation) must be to capture the packaged file format that the RIP uses (.RML is the...

What you are seeing is the ink coalescing (commonly called bleeding) between the red and black. This means that the ink dots are not setting and are instead merging and flowing into each other, in a similar fashion as drops of rain on the roof of a car as it begins to rain. Eventually, as more...

If the network settings are defined to use Static Addressing on the printer itself (entered through the front panel on the printer), there is effectively no way that the printer's IP Address can change, barring a hardware malfunction. Issues with your router, switch, or cabling cannot change a...

The HP Latex 360 incorporates a color measurement instrument from XRite, called an i1 device into the printer hardware. Unfortunately, the type of measurement geometry used in the i1 device (called 0-45 degree) is incompatible with window perf material, due to the fact that the light will pass...
