  1. Epson S80600 Circulation Pump

    We have a specific message on the display: Maintenance Request Replace Parts Soon 00000400 This translates to the circulation pump according to a deep dive into error and maintenance messages.
  2. Epson S80600 Circulation Pump

    We had an extended power outage over the weekend and most likely, our circulation pump needs replacing. Has anyone done this before? I assume I need some sort of tech software to perform tasks that the main display can't, like emptying and refilling the ink lines. What am I looking at for this...
  3. Onyx Thrive 19 and Zund

    The issue we're having is with Onyx rotating the cut file without us knowing. I can't find a pattern, as it doesn't always do it, but it only occurs when we have Onyx add the cut path to the file in preflight. It also doesn't seem to matter which printer we use (flatbed, latex, solvent, etc)...
  4. Question Is my 360 a lemon, and should I buy another HP?

    Thanks for all the responses. One of the reasons I like this place is that people take the time to respond thoughtfully. Given the mix of work we do, and the fact that we have a hybrid flatbed, I think UV roll to roll is out as an option for us. I guess my question is whether others have seen a...
  5. Question Is my 360 a lemon, and should I buy another HP?

    Mainly media that’s receptive to its inks. We recently did a rush double-sided paper job for a customer, and we couldn’t get a paper product that was coated on both sides in time (without paying $400 freight). The latex print to the uncoated back side of our in stock product without quality...
  6. Question Is my 360 a lemon, and should I buy another HP?

    We've had our latex 360 for almost 5 years now, and it's been a love hate relationship. At least twice a year it will go down for one thing or another, and that doesn't include the SMKs that have to be installed by a tech. Several plastic pieces are broken on various places on the printer, and...
  7. Need Help What material is this?

    Can't seem to find it in any of my sample books from rowmark or the like, nor on any supplier websites. Anybody have a clue? Haven't seen it in person yet, but the customer says it's not metal, and "doesn't feel like it's painted."
  8. HP 360 has anyone used Counterweight kit?

    We have UV flatbed, latex and solvent in our shop. The latex gets the most use because the media can be lammed and cut right away. (Roll to roll on our flatbed takes too long to set up in between rigid prints to make it worth while). Short run or long run, there isn’t any wait time once printing...
  9. HP 360 has anyone used Counterweight kit?

    If you do paneled graphics, they help a lot (along with rotating every other panel 180*). It can cause the take up to shift side to side if you don’t load the media perfectly since it makes the dancer bar lighter. We found them invaluable when we had several wall and vehicle wraps over the...
  10. Need Help FB550 Magenta Overspray

    Don’t jump to replacing heads...$1,800 ain’t throwin’ around money when trying to fix your issue. First replace the ink and flush the magenta lines 2 or 3 times. Make sure your head is clean, and then check your nozzles.
  11. HP FB750 Heavier coat of ink

    What effect are you going for? If it’s opacity, you’ll need the white ink. If it’s backlit, there are backlit profiles from HP that should work. However, you can bump up the ink levels in your rip software (if your rip allows you to do so). But the most effective way to do what you’re asking...
  12. Seal laminator

    As far as I know, they don’t make that part any more, and haven’t for quite some time. The seal rep I spoke with a while ago said it didn’t perform any better than the basket, and that if you needed better roll alignment you should use the linked core underneath and align it with the table out.
  13. Laminating Perf Streaks

    All the comments are correct, heat/sun will make them go away over time. On a side note, if I’m not installing perf on a vehicle, I very very rarely use vinyl laminate. It’s overkill in most cases (read: little to no sun exposure), and makes for a more difficult installation than is necessary...
  14. Suggestions HP Latex 570 or Epson 80600

    For day to day, meaning you don't need super long runs or to immediately work with the material, why not consider the S60600? It's cheaper and faster than both of those, dries faster than the S80 thanks to the attached heater, and has comparable (sometimes better) quality to the latex. Plus with...
  15. Need Help Thrive 12.2 and Latex 370

    Thrive 12.2 has been having a lot of issues with the 300 series latex printers. We had similar issues with our 360 after an upgrade, with the latest saying that the "tailgating" feature was not supported. I would see if you can get ahold of the absolute latest drivers for the 300 series, then...
