HP today announced a new Latex machine at ISA in Las Vegas, called the HP Latex 370. Based on the Latex 360, it has added significant ink capacity to the printer, allowing for even greater unattended operation, and a significant reduction in ink cost. Each color (CMYKcmO) has the standard 775 ml...

Single drop volume is 12pl. Multiple dots can be placed in the same location, which would add to the overall drop volume in that address.

In my experience (in the US), on warranty printhead replacements the new head comes with packaging and a return label to send the failed head back to HP. Did this not happen in your case?

3M has come out with a cloud-based software tool called Visual Attention Software (VAS). It's purpose is to assist designers in creating designs that are more effective at communicating the desired message. Here is a link: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/VAS_NA/Home/How2/ I am...

There are several ways to get the carriage out into the print area in order to inspect the ink lines as they enter the carriage. You can go to the Ink Menu > Replace Printhead, and after the carriage moves out, cancel the operation without replacing a head. What does the nozzle test print...

I would agree that the most likely scenario is that there is air in the ink train. Look at the right side of the carriage, and you will see that the ink lines are clear. This makes it easy to see if the lines have ink in them as they move to the printheads. The ink lines are pressurized, and...

Good call +1 This parameter is located in the Queue Settings dialog for the A or B queue. Set it to a small value (I recommend .02 in).

Multiple objects had been compounded (for no apparent reason). Once the compounds were released, and the redundant objects deleted, the file is fine for print & cut in the RIP of choice.

Two possibilities: 1. The files have been saved using a form of internal file compression that Onyx cannot decipher. I have tested with Onyx 11 various types of internal TIF compression, including LZW and JPG, and have not encountered one that Onyx cannot work with. Earlier versions of Onyx...

ONYX Thrive includes the complete media profiling capability, including the ICC. ONYX Postershop 11 and higher includes the complete media profiling capability, including the ICC. All versions of ProductionHouse include the complete media profiling capability, including the ICC.

The definitive test print for printheads is the Nozzle Test Print. It has been several years now since I have used an L25, but as I recall, it is: Ink Menu > Image Quality Maintenance > Clean Printheads > Test Print. This will show you what every nozzle is doing (firing or not), all...

What is the media (manufacturer and part #)? That looks like either a chemical problem (ink and media not compatible), or possibly a heater issue (not enough heat in the print zone causing ink to migrate and coalesce). Are you getting any errors that reference the print heater systems?

+ 1 This is the approach that many use.

Does the machine complete the calibrations without generating an error? I am referring to the Printhead Alignment calibration that is typically done when a printhead is removed / replaced. From the images, it is difficult to see if the white gaps are caused by alignment issues, or potentially...

The SP series are widely used, and there are media profiles on the Roland site for those models (300 and 540 profiles for the SP are interchangeable). SP series are four color (CMYK) machines only, with no support for light inks or specialty colors like white or silver.

Automatic firmware update enabled will cause this.

When it comes to textiles, the vast majority of the media that is being printed using dye sublimation and direct disperse inks is polyester textiles. There is a great variety of polyester textile products available for these ink chemistries. Nylon is a far more specialized media, and it...

The place to start would be with a how-to document that Roland had published on their web site several years ago (they may have updated it since that time) on the subject of creating custom media profiles using Versaworks. One thing to be aware of is that the Roland RIP does not have the ability...

Print throughput is affected by many factors, some which the user has control over, and others not as much. for example, the print swath is a function of the machine and is not user controllable. Carriage speed is generally something that the user can modify on a Roland (faster carriage...
