  3. Need Help accurate cutting

    Our graphic is great. I cut 2 54" x 50yd rolls on Friday. Does your machine ever trip for X motor / media too heavy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Need Help What a FAIL. Glass door all scretched up. Anything to fix it?

    Also, isn't tinting yay installed on the interior of window too? I think someone (painters [assuming from overspray]) saw then scraping and decided rather then the painters eat the new window they blame the vinyl guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Horror stories about sign companies

    I left a shop like this about a year ago. I started with him in June '14 brand new shop brand new owner, by November he had bought another store that was a $1M/year store. I was let go, went and worked for a real shop in Denver for about two years. I came back because I just needed work, when I...
  6. Third party latex for HP 365

    I worked at a shop that tried to use third party inks, and we always had issues. Once I convinced them that the ink was the issue and they went back to HP almost all issues(print related) went away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Need Help HP latex 315 not drying ink

    Definitely give your service center/HP rep a call. My first curing module issue we as 16.43, 16.44, 16.41, 16.42, the second set being the address of one of the 4 heating controls, that was fixed with the storm 6 update. That update however would cause the entire module to shut off. That...
  8. Lam Separated From Vinyl, Again

    I have never had an issue with my Avery separating. I have used it in 3 shops and two very different climates on 4 different manufac. of laminators. We have done everything from full edge to edge prints, block colors, wraps, intricate PLD, and we have taken it off our 570, loaded it on our...
  9. Need Help HP latex 315 not drying ink

    And black or very dark colors will give you the issue, but most other colors won't unless you are just dumping ink. It's a trifecta: Pass count Ink coverage Curing temp. You're trying to find a balance between the 3. If you really do need to put a lot of ink down, then first I'd take my...
  10. Need Help HP latex 315 not drying ink

    As far as the ink getting on the rollers, shouldn't be too much of an issue, just take time to clean the parts you can get to. If you have some cheap material, you can load that and run that back and forth through the machine. That'll help draw any wet ink still on the rollers off. Plus it...
  11. Question HP Firmware STORM_00_06_00.3

    Thrice during my as the order mentioned above I had the tempature drop. I didn't check the front panel for the value, but I had 3 files that had to be reprinted because the heat dropped out. Rebooting the machine fixed that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Question HP Firmware STORM_00_06_00.3

    ^^^ Software update did the opposite for me!!! ^^^^ HP570 I updated and it has cost me nearly 2 days on a high volume (for us) print job. Onyx and the printer seem to get into spats. I have had files sit at 100% for nearly 10 minutes. Well when we are running 216, getting stuck for 10 minutes...
  13. Question Do you use dedicated rip computer?

    I agree workload would really dictate the NEED for a separate device. I finally got my boss to allow me to have a stand alone for our rip and it absolutely helps the work flow. All the machine does is rip and print. Its a standing station to prevent anyone from lingering too long. It's nice...
  14. Must Have Accessories?

    I hired into a shop with 4 4'x8' tables and 0 of them were flat, all dipped at least 1/4" in the middle.... It blew my mind that they have operated for 10 years on these tables.
  15. 3M IJ180 on HP 360

    I cut about a inch of vinyl off the backer when loading 180. Never have any issues with the vinyl trying to peel during loading. Also, I have not once used a default profile. They are good starting points but, I always customize my profiles, the environment you're printing in can change your...
