Are you bring it in to Flexi in order to print it or to edit in Flexi? If is is strictly to output, I would avoid Flexi altogether, and bring the supported file directly into the RIP module (Production Manager) from the File Menu > Add Job. This workflow completely avoids whatever issues...

This error code indicates a fault with the vacuum fan.

The Roland SP-300V is a USB only device. It does not have an Ethernet (network) interface.

Just to continue on this line of thought, I went and printed a file that contained Pantone 186 C, using the HP Latex 360 and 3M IJ40C media. The media profile print mode that was used was 100 percent ink at 10 pass. The printed specimen measured out to a 4.4 dE from the reference color P186C)...

Cross contamination at the edges of Yellow channel. This happens from below the head, not above.

The overall color gamut on the Latex 300 series is not significantly different than the 200 series (L260) in most cases. Rutgers University's brand guidelines calls Pantone 186 C for the red. I ran a quick predictive delta E check for that color for the Latex 360 printing onto 3M IJ40C media...

Paper-backed Perf media tends to work better (less prone to distortion in the print & cure zones) with latex printers than non paper-backed. Something between 200 and 240 degrees should work, depending on pass count and other printer environment settings.

A couple of thoughts... 1. I would not use WD40 or anything similar to lube the rail. use the lubricant that comes with the machine. There have been several threads posted recently on this. 2. Any kind of ink leak would quickly drip ink onto the prints, so that is unlikely, but I would at...

I would agree that this is not likely to be a printhead issue as much as a problem with the media profile that is being used. Are you using a media profile that is specific to the media (Phototex), or is it for a different media? I would guess that the media profile needs to be relinearized...

The issue is caused by rounding error when the RIP processes the EPS file. As the file's resolution is 1016 units to the inch, either .02 or .04 / inch is orders of magnitude larger than the addressable resolution, and should work equally well.

Take a look at post #12 in this thread: http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?122368-HP-L26500-Latex-Prints-are-out-of-square-skewed It should help you to understand the HP Latex ink chemistry, and how to understand pass counts and other variables.

That means greater than zero. I would suggest a small value like .02 inches or equivalent.

Often times, with the 300 series, firmware updates are released to the manual update server several days before they are pushed out to automatic update.

Assuming that you are using the Roland RIP Versaworks: In the Queue A/B Settings screen > File Format Tab, change the EPS margin to a value that is > 0. The RIP will clip cuts on EPS files on one or more sides if this value is set to 0.

HP Latex ink is a fundamentally different chemistry than any solvent ink-set. With HP Latex ink in the L250 and L260 machines, the evaporation and curing are entirely environmentally induced reactions that must take place inside of the printer. The ink-set used in the Latex 300 series are a bit...

What type of media are you printing onto (banner vinyl / self-adhesive vinyl / polyester film / paper / etc) when this occurs? I have certainly encountered bowing on SAV and significant media deformation on banner vinyl, but I have never seen inconsistent sizing (left vs right side). Any...

As I understand your post, the deviation is in the media feed direction (versus the carriage scan direction). This can occur due to variations in the thickness of various medias, and how those medias are being moved by the media transport system in the printer. Many RIPs have tools that can...

This is generally referred to as Vertical Banding. It can be a bit difficult to diagnose, but here are the more typical causes of the artifact on various machines: 1. Media that is not laying flat on the printer platen in specific areas will often times result in this defect. Pinch roller...

To the OP: Is this print defect always visible in the scan direction as the media sits on the printer (direction of carriage travel)?
