I have this paint in my house with a matte finish. The Phototex OPA needed some extra help to stick, I had to use… Roman Products 11015 E-Z Hang Peel & Stick Wallpaper Helper + Pre-Pasted Activator, Clear, Non-Staining, 32 Fluid Ounces https://a.co/d/cK69ZIy It was a pretty easy and quick fix...

Thanks for all the suggestions y'all! Yes, my wife and I are artist and been selling these on the side at local art markets and local shops. Currently printing a hundred or so at a time, with many different images and constantly expanding our design catalog. Definitely considering outsourcing...

I feel like that would look terrible, which printer do you have? The $80 type printers I've had in the past definitely didn't have the print quality I'm hoping for.

I'm looking to speed up my note card production, and hoping someone here will have a good printer suggestion on how to do this. I'm hoping to just print standard letter sized paper, with a thick card stock or fine art paper preferably. I want the image quality to be excellent, but also hoping...

Very helpful, I appreciate the insight. I got the Light Cyan printhead today and that one now seems to be working fine. HP is sending me the Magenta as well and hopefully everything will be back up and running smoothly at that point. I also went ahead and changed out my Optimizer Ink Cartridge...

Overview: After the 3 day holiday weekend, I started up my Latex 115 and got a printhead warning with request to print a "Printhead Test Plot" to address problem. Once done, my #6 Magenta printhead was clearly missing a lot. Steps taken: Day 1... 1. I auto cleaned printhead, plot test looks...

Looking for a print profile for the HP Latex 115 and General Formulations WallMark 226 HTR. GF only has the 700 and 800 Latex series profiles listed for download. I tried the 700 profile, but it errored as expected. So I'm thinking the Generic Vinyl profile is probably the way to go, but thought...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm currently thinking it's the humidity in my house, since the problems really started with the weather change. Things I'm doing: • I've changed the HVAC thermostat settings to keep it running more constantly. • Getting a humidity detector for the print room...

I purchased the take up reel along with the 115 at the same time, it's an optional addition. I plan on printing a lot of wallpaper, so the take up reel seemed necessary.

Thanks y'all. I did add some vacuum (forgot to say that), from 15 to 20 I believe, but sounds like I need to revisit that and increase it more. The contact is definitely happening with the carriage, I can see it through the view window. I also thought humidity might be a contributing factor...

I'm printing Magic PhotoArt230 paper (230gsm) on a HP Latex 115 and starting to have some print trouble which wasn't there at first. Been printing this paper for a few months now with no problems and using the HP Heavy Matte Paper print profile. Now I'm starting to get drag marks from the print...

I had a similar problem recently with Flexi and a new HP Summa cutter. I currently have the flex cut set to "Cut Through" and not "Cut Through Default". I then have my flex cut settings on the cutter. Oddly, the Kiss Cut setting works with the default setting in Flexi. Hope that helps.

Finally figured out the trick to make this work every time!!! Grab a spare roll of transfer tape or similar and use it as a weight in front of the laminate rollers. So I get about an inch of the vinyl in the rollers, stop, place the extra roll on top of the vinyl that is resting on the loading...

I recently had a similar problem and made a post about it. I still need to follow up there, but here is what works for me. Grab a spare roll of transfer tape or similar and use it as a weight in front of the laminate rollers. So I get about an inch of the print in the rollers, stop, place the...

Trying to decide if I should get a HP vinyl cutter with the HP Latex printer, or stick with Graphtec. I love my CE6000, and want to get a FC9000 with the Latex, but is it worth the extra $3-4000 over the HP cutter? I'm not seeing any reviews on the HP cutters so I'm hoping some of y'all have...

Does 3M have a comparable wall vinyl to Oracal 631?

I’ve been able to get MACal quotes from Fellers and Jack Ripper Associates. Only 48” rolls though and ships from Cali. Jack Ripper says they can cut down to 24” for some extra money. Price is about double of Oracal, so I haven’t tried it yet. Some nice colors though.

Since you have 631 already, you may as well test it out first. I pretty much sell 631 exclusively for customer DIY interior wall installs. Occasionally they have problems but it’s rare. The 631 looks great for many more years than it’s rated for, and mostly removes easily. Removal does have...

I’ve used SignCut for about a decade, but only for cut vinyl, no kiss cut printed stuff. Johnny Best seems to be able to make it work, but I believe you will do better to get Flexi, Caldera, or similar. Of course they are insanely more expensive. I stopped using the Illustrator plug-ins, since...

I’m in the same boat, new to laminating, not new to vinyl cutting. I just got a Daige Solo 55” and do not recommend it. So far I’ve not been able to make it work well for me. It was a pain to put together as well, simple screw holes were misaligned. My main use for it right now is applying...
