  1. Printing white ink only with HP Latex 800w & Onyx Go RIP

    Yes you can print white only, you can for example set up a white spot color in the file or make a file with let's say 1% yellow on the graphic where you want white and set the white spot to "image area" in the RIP.
  2. Christmas tale

    'Twas the rush before Christmas, in the printshop's large hall, Printers were whirring for that project at the mall. With CMYK and Pantones, the colors so bright, everyone hopes the prints would come out just right. The substrates were loaded, both high end and trash, But then out of nowhere...
  3. Christmas tale

    Something like that, great reading!
  4. Christmas tale

    I remember I saw someone posting a Christmas tale based on "Twas the night before Christmas" about a sign shop, he struggled with a Roland or something in those lines and it was hilarious, can't find it anymore so if anybody has it please post to share that Holiday spirit (or if you have the...
  5. HP Latex 560 takeup going crazy

    The takeup on our new (used) L560 is going a bit weird/crazy, if you wind with image side out as normally the takeup reverses and goes forward, reverses and goes forward at the whole time it prints. It does takeup as it should but it moves a lot more backwards than it should, and as a result the...
  6. Anybody in Canada installing in -30c weather?

    I have around -10c as an approximate limit here in Finland where the winter is quite cold (but I guess even colder in Canada). Frosted vinyl becomes very brittle after that and the transfer tape does not really want to cooperate, not to talk about the installer's fingers... But it depends, I've...
  7. PayPal Scam

    No, it should be for just that transaction and then it will be fine for a long time forward. We did it once when they asked a few years ago when we started using the service to accept credit cards and it's been fine since then, no issues at all. As people probably already mentioned in the thread...
  8. PayPal Scam

    If you log in via PayPal's site and everything looks good with the site address (and maybe if you've changed your password once) then I'd say it's legit. PayPal is asking for a lot of info to make sure there's no money laundering going on etc. and from the screenshot there's probably a...
  9. HP Latex 560/570 beacon

    Ok, had a look in the service menus, diagnostics menu and nowhere can I find the setting to activate the beacon. It is not described in the service manual either. Can it be something else preventing the beacon from working/getting power?
  10. HP Latex 560/570 beacon

    Thank you very much, I'll poke around in the service menu and check if I find it.
  11. HP Latex 560/570 beacon

    Soo, checked with a multimeter and did not find any voltage at any of the pins at any time (printing/idle). Do you need to activate the beacon from the service menu or similar? The black and grey wire goes to earth but nothing on the green, yellow or red. The printer has not had a beacon...
  12. HP Latex 560/570 beacon

    Superb, just what I was looking for, will check with a multimeter the voltage. Thank you very much!!
  13. HP Latex 560/570 beacon

    Hello! Got hold of a nice HP 560 to add to our fleet and it has the connector for the beacon (standard on the 570), now the beacon seems hard to get hold of and is very expensive. I thought of maybe taking a generic beacon and connect it to the printer since it seems to be only 6 pins in the...
  14. Super slow processing speed on HP DesignJet z6810

    Maybe you could just file transfer the files to be printed to the local computer and RIP on that? That would speed up the process? I understand the issue that you have one Designjet on the remote PC that works fast and another also on the remote PC working slow but are they the same model of...
  15. Budget flatbed 10-15k GBP?? & Benefits of flatbed

    Look at the Summa F series, ask your dealer for good financing if you put that money (10-15 k) up front and the rest on finance.
