Following here as well. We’ve had a number of false starts with ShopVox over the years. Infinitely more complicated than it needs to be and very resource intensive to onboard. We haven’t had the right team in place to do it ourselves, have been steered to some lackluster consultants where we’ve...

Thanks! Been using something similar, just curious if there were any secrets out there I was missing! Actually yesterday I installed a 7' wide x 10' tall window printed on HP Polymeric Matte Overlam (3mil) unlamented. I used masking for the top 12" of the graphic to stiffen it up, slit the back...

Recommendations for hinging on a window where the graphic is edge to edge on the glass, but the glass is inset in the frame (so any material for bleed will get caught up on the frame at the edge and complicate the application). Also, to hinge long vertical panels where the window is inset, is...

Agree - It's just a huge PITA on large installations (in this case, 8'x10' windows, have done them both in 2 tiles vertically and 3 tiles horizontally). Very soft and stretchy, not sure if that's a function of printing on Latex? We ended up slapping on some HP Polymeric Laminate and it greatly...

Thx J - We did not laminate, I'm sure that would simplify the install. It's a short term installation (one month) so the laminate seems like a large extra expense and I have to assume others have found materials that work without it. We don't hit 90deg here in the mountains of Jackson Hole too...

For those who mentioned using the Aslan DFL300, how large of an install did you perform? I've done small (24" w x 60" tall) installs, no problem. But... we tried it in the past and with a multi panel (7' wide X 10' tall) install, it seemed to get very soft where there was a fair amount of ink...

Just saw this, so a little behind the timeline...but, we have used Renew and have some in the shop, but I don't think they make it anymore. It's pretty "fuzzy" but surprisingly durable and can be sold as very eco-friendly forward. I tried to order the freedom Eco Smart last week and they were...

Hello Premier - The seller is Ryan at Elm City Exports. I've been trying to get the seller to call me back before outing them, but they are 100% ignoring my communication. Avoid at all costs! This is the worst I've been treated in 25 years in the business. I'll update if they make good on this...

Haha, sounds like we might be dealing with the same guy. I'm heading down the path you describe as well.

Hey Ed - The invoice/sales contract did note the printer would not arrive DOA and that it would paper and produce clean copies upon startup. It would power on, but nothing else. When shipping a printer, not following best practices to ensure the printer shows up per the agreed sales contract is...

Agree on gathering the kindling too quickly, but this vendor is pushing me by completely ignoring any request to remedy the situation, first time in 25 years of business I've felt compelled to warn others via negative reviews or to seek legal remedy. I wanted to get this out there for feedback...

Thanks for the quick reply and info. To be clear, HP has very clear guidelines on how to prepare a machine for shipping and it sounds like your outfit would follow these. Not one of these were followed by this broker, the machine's multiple malfunctions were very clearly due to this negligence...

Any interstate commerce legal pros out there? Yes, before we start, I knew better, so go ahead, "I told you so, don't buy from brokers" ...but I have in the past and have ok experiences with used equipment, and cannot afford new from any of our reigonal reps, so thought this purchase was a...

Thanks Netsol - Have a dial caliper I could probably rig to measure. I'll tidy up the encoder strip as well. Curious if anyone has seen the tables on these warp? Not exactly sure how it would happen, so I'm skeptical that's the problem, but spitballing all options.

Our FC8600 (54") has a roughly 8" section, at about the left 1/3 point where it doesn't contour cut the material when the blade is set properly and cutting properly on the right side of the machine. I've replaced a couple of cutting strips (and cleaned thoughly underneath), tried padding UP the...

On the hunt for decent wallpaper media as well. Does anyone have trouble with panel alignment when printing an entire wall? We are using an HP Latex 365 and the two wallpaper media from HP we have tried doesn't seem stay consistent in length when printed on Latex. Hopefully this isn't a hijack...

Great question Magda! What printer are you using? Word of warning.... We've been using HP's Durable Smooth PVC and would be interested in a product that has better dimensional stability. Manufacturers claim their products are compatible with our Latex 365, but we'll typically see panel...

Thanks, will give that a look!

As an owner of a Latex 365 for a few years now, overall works pretty good. Tons of head strikes, as material left in the machine when cold tends to conform to the shape of the output platen and will get in the way of the printhead when turning on the machine, but seems to bounce back.. and heads...

The revised profile information helped but didn't fully solve our wrinkling problem. Had the same problem with Ultraflex Signetix ltx also. We are going to try a product called Legacy from Sonoma Graphics Products. We were initially having issues with the profile they supplied, but are going to...
