    What could be causing static cling to not feed out or roll up correctly on our HP800W. Sometimes it stops advancing while printing cause it gets stuck, and other times it will print, but after it advances it out to cure, it can't roll it back in cause it gets stuck. We have been printing on...

    Any recommendations for pricing a print I am doing for another local shop on my HP 800W.

    Any recommendations for media/pass mode to use for poster prints on HP800W? I have a Lexjet Satin Photo paper that works ok, but i have to print at the lowest temp and it still deforms a little. Printing on SAV is a much clearer print. Both are printing at 6 pass mode. What do some of you...
  4. UV or Latex for Perforated Window Vinyl

    I have both a UV printer with a Roll to Roll unit and a few HP Latex roll to roll printers. Which is recommended for outdoor perforated window vinyl? I assume UV inks would last better as they are made to cure with UV light. What about laminating needs? Unlaminated vs laminated would one...

    Hi All! I am printing on a clear static cling material with my HP 800W, using a 32 pass mode with white on the bottom and color on top.

    Can anyone explain to me how to take apart the curing unit (heaters and fans) on the HP Latex 365?
