We currently use 3M IJ8171. We have used Clear Focus also. Clear Focus needs to specified for latex. The 3M IJ8171 is easier for us to get and we can use it in our solvent machines also. We have used others, but have experienced "technical difficulty". Anything from ink not sticking to...

If you can produce sellable product at 4 pass, I'm happy for you. I should really be running 12 pass, but the speed drop isn't what we need. I currently run 10 pass. I was running 900 inches, 2286cm for y'all across the pond, at a time, then running bits and pieces to finish the roll. This...

Not sure if this will help, I ran one for about 2 years. Started having various head issues when management sent me a helper. Found out he wasn't cleaning the heads at the start or end of the day. When he started doing that, the problems we had went away. Hope it helps.

L26500 PH update. After several conversations with HP, they have told me that I am overheating the heads. I am attempting to get an answer from them on the desired maximum run length. They have told me that my runs are too long and that is causing the heads to overheat. Now, that sounds to...

Is it just me, or has anybody else experience shortened life on the L26500 print heads? They show good in the print tests, but PQ is really bad.

Watch out for the HP/distrubutor smoke screen. We printed a wrap on the latex and went directly to laminate with it. About 4 months into the wrap we noticed bubbles in the laminate. We replaced the affected panels and then sent the ones the were on the vehicle back to 3M. 3M informed us that...

Try what I do. Take some print ready files, some media that you are familiar with, and demo both machines. I have actually taken a stopwatch to verify the speed claims from the manufacturers. I would allow a day for each machine you are looking at. Good luck with your decision.

We have had our L26500 for about 1.5 years. Have found that we must do test prints at different passes or particular colours. Most stuff runs at 10 pass. Greys and greens usually at 12 pass with a heat reduction. We did have some profile issues, where the machine didn't cooperate with the...

Latex or EcoSolvent We currently have 2 HP9000's, yes one is fading away, and a HP L26500. While the L26500 is a good machine, we have had issues with the colour quality on the machine. Most common is matching the same colour to a print that has been previously printed. While our 9000's were...

printer dude I have recently had the same experience with a L26500. The final conclusion that I came up with was to switch back to running HP profiles and not the 3M or Avery profiles that have been provided by the manufacture. HP could not figure out the reasoning behind this other than to...
