  1. HP Latex 360 firmware/sleep

    Hi guys, Anyone else having issues with the 360 going to sleep? I keep getting an error message about the current firmware and if the problem persists to reinstall the firmware. I have done that 3 times but now the machine constantly wakes itself up from sleep or doesn't go to sleep. Have the...

  3. DG Cal vinyl?

    Hi guys, We had a rep come by telling us about DG Cal vinyl to run on our latex and solvent printers. Has anyone had experience with these? What do you think? We are looking at DG PSF100-GG. Thanks, Steve
  4. Question Pantone 306 2X CVC. What is "2X"?

    Could you create a new profile with a higher saturation level to mimic the double-print? We have an HP360 too but on our Roland we can overprint 2 or even 3 times.
  5. Vertical streaking on 3640 matte?

    I think I figured it out. The heat settings in the default profile were set to 230C, I bumped up to 241C and added an interpass delay. The streaking was so feint you could barely see it coming off the printer but it was more noticeable after being packed tight on the take up core and unrolled...
  6. Vertical streaking on 3640 matte?

    Hi everyone, We recently printed a job with a large number of 36 x 60" signs on Orafol 3640 Matte with our HP Latex 360. It printed well but afterwards we noticed some vertical streaking where the ink was still a bit damp. It was very inconsistent though, it happened in different places and at...
  7. Printable reflective

    I thought so but wanted to check. Thanks for your help.
  8. Printable reflective

    Hi guys, does anyone recommend a printable reflective with a very good white point? We use 3M IJ680CR and also looking at Oracal 5650RA but they're on the slightly greyer side as the base for printing, are there any others out there that are 'whiter'? Client is asking but we need to print on it...

    Hi Brandon, I saw a post you had made about printing 12oz banner on the HP Latex 360. I'm...

    Hi Brandon, I saw a post you had made about printing 12oz banner on the HP Latex 360. I'm runing some banners at 192C heat with 1500 interpass delay (4 pass print profile) yet the dark areas of ink aren't quite drying - when you run a cotton glove over them you get the inky-film that come off...
  10. Oralite 5600 Reflective Vinyl - Has anybody ever tried wet applying?

    As a side note, has anyone compared 3M 680CR reflective vs Oracal 5650RA? Thoughts?
  11. Need Help HP Latex 560 - Random Banding

    We print the colour bands to the left side of almost every print that we do on our HP360. Not sure if it is related to this but we have had hardly any colour drop out issues since we started doing this, before we had issues with magenta acting up. It helps runs the other colours a little.
  12. Colour calibration Roland Versaworks

    Hi everyone, I am trying to colour calibrate a profile on Versaworks 5.5.1 with our Roland SolJet Pro 4 XR-640 using an EFI ES-2000 (GretagMacbeth EyeOne). I have tried printing the measurement chart at a bunch of sizes from 100-175% yet when I try to measure the chart every time I get the...
  13. Small flatbed cutter suggestions

    Hi everyone, We currently use a Graphtec FC 8000 to plot mostly vinyl (and some experimental card projects) but we are exploring the option of getting a small flatbed cutter, possibly 4 x 4', that would allow us to also cut substrates such as acrylic, lexan, sintra and di-bond. No more than 1"...
  14. Printing on 26 x 40" digital sheet

    How did it turn out? I just ran a test and found that the image is very feint (I guess the ink soaks into the paper) and it's quite smelly. Other than that it did cure properly however.
  15. Printing on 26 x 40" digital sheet

    Hi everyone, Has anyone successfully printed on a digital sheet with a wide format printer? It's just an experiment for a job, we have a latex and eco-solvent and I was trying to print 80lb Cougar Cover on our Roland SolJet Pro 4 XR-640, has anyone pulled this off before? Steve
  16. Need Help Flexi 12 hp pro edition for latex

    Have you tried calling Flexi tech support? My first thought was something had changed the file handling form hold to delete after the job but you covered that. Haven't exactly had that problem happen to us but when weird stuff happens with Flexi I call tech support. I see glitches occasionally.
  17. Repeat print / plot job from Versaworks

    Hi guys, A lot of you may already know this but I discovered this last week and it has been a game changer. No more having to relying on Flexi to do this, which as it turns out will not print on the Roland SolJet Pro 4 until after a job has finished printing on the HP 360 first (but you can...
  18. Off scale message on Graphtec FC8000

    Hmm, unless you get any other suggestions here I would call Graphtec support. They're pretty helpful.
  19. Off scale message on Graphtec FC8000

    Is the media straight on the machine? You can use the white notches on the plotter to help you align a vertical straight edge, or if you have printed crop marks you can align them by eye to a horizontal straight edge on the front of the machine. I've been able to register and plot up to 10' in...
  20. 10oz banner on HP 360

    Partly, and we have done this kind of job for same client numerous times before on the same material. But we didn't have a latex back then when we last ran a big job for them.
