  2. UCJV Color

    I found that UCJV is quite heavy in comparison to my HP Latex. It's good and bad depend on the job. Wondering it's a way to calibrate the opacity/density/saturation in rasterlink? Or perhaps we can create our own profile, etc? Color is accurate just too saturate. Thanks.
  3. Question UCJV300 Media

    Hi all, quite new to this machine, how to save media on this machine without having a head strike/rub? I've seen some tips on youtube that using the take up reel and some leading media but that still waste about 0.5 meters. What is the best and safest way to keep it near the print area? Some...

  5. Arlon fusion VS Arlon 4600GLX

    Hi all, I've been always using Arlon cast and the mono. However now I have a mid range customer. They are the end user and thinking to put the vinyl on themselves.

  6. Automatic cut job is not working (barcode on top)

    Yesterday was the first time I use the take up reel to print small stickers. I put the barcode on top and flip the cut contour job (so I can start cutting from end of the roll without rewind it). However, my summa (S1) didn't start cutting after loading the barcode. I need to drag the cut file...

  10. Longer pre check time before printing on HP Latex 335

    Hi all, Normally, My Hp latex will just do 1 check/calculation/clean before printing. However, Recently I noticed my Hp latex 335 is taking more steps before printing, maybe 4-3 wiping and calculating before print. Any idea what's going on? Could it be the maintenance tank/cartridge (30%)...
  11. UCJV feed correction and dot position adjustment

    I saw that the ujv100 is equipped with a DAS (Dot Adjustment System) function as standard, which automatically adjusts the dot position correction and media feed amount. Does it mean with UCJV300 you need to do feed correction and adjust drop position every time you change media?
  12. which is cheaper to run? UCJV300 or HP Latex 3xx

    Hi all, I know they are completely different. Wondering if anyone own both? Really want to know which one cost more to operate and maintain especially pass the warranty period?

  13. Question Ucjv300 purging

    Hi, I've been thinking to get the ucjv300 but the pandemic strikes. The business became really slow but luckily our latex has no problem sitting with no printing. Wondering if we get the ucjv300, how bad it will purge the ink especially the white ink with no printing for 2 months? Will it finish...
  14. Mimaki ujv100-160 (UV print only)

    Wondering if anyone got this machine? Really interested in this machine but found no review. Apart from that, it's only available on a few country. My guess will be similar to ucjv300 but no cutter. It also print faster and more detail (small droplet).

    Hi again, This might be a strange question. I've been trying to download arlon profile for my HP latex 335 directly from the machine but always get an error downloading message. So I decided to get the oms file from hp website. As I can remember last time I used this link...
  16. Summa S160D Read all marks then Cut

    Hi all, I've been using the Summa S160D for almost 10 years. I've just realised that I've probably done something wrong. Please refer to the video below: On this video, the cutter read all the mark first then cut. My S Class will read the first set marks (left & right) and second set marks...
  17. Opinion on UCJV300 after a year or more

    I'm currently running the HP latex 335 and thinking to get the ucjv300. The reason is to print white and clear. I mostly design for customer so if I can print white and clear then I can also offer something new. My questions: -How hard is the maintenance? -How temperamental is this printer...

    Hi all, Got an Hp 335 + Summa S1 + flexi. I remembered that I can do automatic cutting. Flexi will move to the next job, read barcode and start cutting. However, I don't know what I did. Now, it move to next job, read barcode and wait for me to resend the cut file so it can start cutting. i...
  19. Mounting vinyl to cardboard for packaging boxes

    Hi all, I got an inquiry to do a short run packaging boxes and cake boxes. The cake boxes are not as thick as the packaging boxes. I only have an HP Latex 335. I'm not sure if there is anything (cardboard) that I can load into the hp latex directly. My idea is to mount vinyl to cardboard and...
