  1. Issue with 50/50 perf + laminate

    Perf is a one to two year product. Our printers uses a 3 year ink product. Lam? What? Why? If you really feel that you need to lam try using ClearJet Hi Performance Protective Coating. Comes in an aeresol spray can, costs about $12 a can. One can will do a pretty good size window job or more.
  2. My Cut On Decals is Off Graphtec 86-130

    Check your pinch roller settings on the back of the cutting bar. Our graphtec has 4. The two outside should be set all the way down and the center ones halfway on a 54" sheet. When our cuts start to wander this is the first thing we check.
  3. HP Latex 365

    I have an 8 and a half year old 360 and a brand new 700. I would buy the 360 again if I could. Kind of bummed I bought the 700. I still prefer the 360.

  5. Vinyl Recommendation

    70/30 perforated window vinyl. About a 2-3 year product. Advertisement on the outside and gives you full view of outside, looks like tinted windows on the inside. Applies first surface outside. Spray lam or not. 3 year ink on 2 year vinyl? Any solid vinyl will block your view. Hope this helps.
  6. Golf Cart

    You might consider a color change with overlays. Unless the printed wrap is a solid or pattern that lies easy, it is hard to get everyhting straight unless your a really good wrapper. Between the time and the reprints its not worth it. We try to get $925 - $1500 for a regular EZGO 2 seater...

  11. Ij35/8518 Graphtec Cut through Setting?

    What setting do you use on your graphtec for this type of cut contour/cut through decal? Graphtec says use tool#3 at a speed of 20 and force 10+ over the kiss cut setting. Also when setting the cut pattern depth, the settings give you 7 options, but then the graphtec video say, instead use...

  14. Suggestions Onyx Go

    Just purchased a new HP 700 that comes with a free year to ONYX Go. On our old ONYX 12.2 version, we could see how much vinyl a print will take up. This was very helpful, because we could see how much vinyl was on a roll, then load print files, and know that we had enough substrate on the...

    We just replaced our HP Latex 360 with a new HP Latex 700. The 360 has been on a maintenance contract since we purchased it in 2016. Having to reinvest in our business rather than paying Uncle Sam, we decided to purchase a new printer this end of year. To be honest I am missing using the...

  19. What is your experience with the HP latex printers

    We have a 8.5 year old HP 360 Latex, it's been great. Has been under warranty since we bought it. However this year we have had to use that warranty on more occasions than not, and it always seems like when we are in the middle of a large project. So looking to upgrade to a newer machine and...
  20. Question 8x4 coro (flutes running wrong way)

    Seen quite a few. Fairly recent marketing idea. Thick coro with a direct print zip tide to the guard posts on a gas pump island. Cheap enough to replace when or if damaged. Gas stations have always been way too tight a client to chase. They like cheap.
