  1. Are HP Latex 800W printers actually okay now?

    I haven't had too much more trouble with OP than the rest of it. I do remember I had a leak in that line and it pooled in the printer casing. My last issue was with OC. I printed an entire roll of 3M Optically clear vinyl and the OC just stopped printing 20' into the roll. That was...
  2. Are HP Latex 800W printers actually okay now?

    It's tough because when the printer works, I do actually like it. Its fast and the white is very good. It's just a lot of maintenance/repairs/downtime which we can't afford either. It feels like I've been playing catch-up for months now. HP just closed my case because I didn't have time to...
  3. Are HP Latex 800W printers actually okay now?

    Do you know when the 830 is coming out? As far as problems, I've had the ink lines replaced twice. I've had the data cables going to the printheads replaced twice. I've had the motherboard go out. And I replaced all of my printheads last week and I've had 2 go out since. Its a connection...
  4. Are HP Latex 800W printers actually okay now?

    I have an HP800W that is absolute garbage. We bought one of the first 800s in our area and had so many problems with it that they replaced it with another printer. Unfortunately this printer is just as bad. It's cost me around $15,000 between repairs and ruined material. Not to mention all...
  5. HP Latex 800W

    Unfortunately it's not a total of 40 printheads, its about 40 printheads that actively fouled. Half were warrantied and replaced by HP and the other half were just out of warranty. I get the feeling they replaced my bad printer with another bad printer.
  6. HP 800W - what do you think about it?

    Don't get the HP 800W! I've spend more than the printer costs on repairs. Not to mention all the down time.
  7. HP Latex 800W

    I've had the same experience. Bought an HP 800W to have white ink but the machine is garbage. I know all of the HP techs in my area by name.
  8. HP Latex 800W

    I have an HP 800W and its absolute garbage. We actually got them to replace our first one but the replacement has just as many problems. I've actually been trying to find a 570 to go back to. Throughout the last 2 years or so I've probably had 12 tech visits, replaced 40+ printheads and had a...
  9. HP800W Dropping out Yellow part way through print

    The HP 800W is just a terrible printer. You can call the HP 800 number and they'll walk you through things and can get a tech out if you're still under warranty. I've had a million bad print heads and a ton of bad ink lines/leaks.
  10. What is your experience with the HP latex printers

    Dont buy an 800W! I have a 365 that's run like a champ for 8 years. I've had techs come out to fix my HP 800W at least 12 times. I've replaced more than 40 printheads in that time.
  11. How are HP 700W/800W's running now that they have been in the market a few months?

    I set up a margin just to play with it. It's good to know how to bypass that big material spooling warmup. The downfall I see with that is I needed to add 12" to get it to feed into the curing zone and it wants to add that 12" every time I send a new job to the printer. So if I'm trying to...
  12. How are HP 700W/800W's running now that they have been in the market a few months?

    I'm a little confused because I checked my distributors website and you are 100% correct about the warranty. I might be crazy but I don't think my 365 printer flags them as out of warranty until they hit 3000ml. Unfortunately I can't confirm this because I recently replaced all printheads but...
  13. How are HP 700W/800W's running now that they have been in the market a few months?

    Might be a little late to the conversation but I have an 800W and I do not recommend it. Had it for 5 months or so and I've had endless trouble and already had a tech out to fix it. Trailing cables all came unattached and the print carriage strikes the maintenance cartridge from time to time...
  14. Asphalt Art Foil, Anyone Have Experience With It?

    I just finished off my first roll of Alumagraphics and I hate working with the stuff. I've scratched up my printheads, crashed the print carriage and ruined a few plotter blades. And with the foil backer I ripped the material trying to install it around and underneath fridges and countertops...
  15. The best brand of razor blade?

    Wow that’s the steal of a lifetime! I ended up buying NT blades (Qty 100 for $15). I’ll see how they do. I know I won’t be buying any more Excel blades. They go dull way too fast.
  16. The best brand of razor blade?

    I really like using the 9mm 30 degree Olfa knives for wraps and for day to day cutting. Anyone have thoughts on other brands for replacement blades? Olfa is expensive (over $1/blade) so I tried buying Excel but they dull much faster. I just found Foshio has Qty 100 for $15 or NT Cutter for...
