  1. Your recommendations...

    Will be printing images to hang on walls of gymasium in a high school. Which product(s) do you recommend for quality and long lasting on painted block walls? I am thinking cast is best way to go because it would allow me to heat apply into the mortar joints and help stop the prying fingers...
  2. HP Wide Format 54 Plotter/Cutter

    Anyone have experience with getting a HP 54 Wide Format plotter/cutter to read registration marks/bar code? Have had this machine for about five years.

  5. Looking to Purchase new DTF setup

    Looking to purchase a new DTF system for classroom setting. I've ordered hundreds of DTF's from online vendors and love using them and customers love it as well. Anyhow, since I'm in a school system, we rely on using Purchase Orders and companies must be on the approved vendor list. So far, I...

    Good evening all. Having a time printing on Briteline Roll Up retractable banner material. Text is coming out very splotchy/rough looking. Images attached. I have done a color calibration, printhead alignment and printhead cleaning. I have a job to produce 32 of these retractable banners...
  7. HP/Summa Wide Format Cutter - Not Reading Barcode

    After re-upping my Flexi license, the cutter (HP Wide Format, but from what I've been told, it's just a Summa with HP labelling) refuses to read the black/yellow barcode on vinyl media. Paper is read correctly, then when I press the barcode button, the cutter head just moves very slowly to left...
  8. Help with HP Latex 64 Cutter (Summa copy)

    Just developed an issue with this cutter - don't know where to start to try and fix. When I load media into the cutter and close the back lever, the machine starts to push the media forward (down) and normally where the ending barcode/registration marks are, it would stop and reverse back to...

    Customer wants a double sided sign for his organization, which is part of a National organization. The "idea" he had for sign does not jive with the brand guide. I only know this because I was looking for a vector graphic to use and came across the guide. I passed this on to the customer and...
  13. Mesh Banner Causing Head Strikes

    Using a HP Latex 365 and Duratex Mesh banner with liner. Just recently, whenever I use this media, my print head ends up going under the media/liner and causes a hard head strike. At first I thought it was old media but opened a new roll today and after about 18 feet - BAM! Shut the machine...
  14. Wide Format Media - Please Help Identify

    I have a HP Latex 365 printer and today was given a large lot of paper from an abandoned business. The media does not have any labels, etc so I cannot tell what it is, etc. The business was a beer distributor - they made their own posters, banners, etc. in house and I guess posted at stores...
