  1. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    I am aware it the roller on the 500 series which does have me wondering if the manufacturers are cheapening the product because of this roller and that is why I have been seeing it a lot more. But then I asked before about this problem and other inks.
  2. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    Does the roller really help? Anyone with a 300 series and a 500, if you see it on a roll of media on the 300 and then move it to the 500 does it then print fine?
  3. Roll laminators vs flatbed

    I don't see that being the case. With a bidirectional roll laminator you mount to substrates exactly the same way you would with a table, so how do you figure it is 10x slower?
  4. Star Media Poly Banner on Latex

    Looks like contamination on the media. Have you cleaned the pinch rollers or anything else the media comes in contact with. Also try wiping the the media with alcohol.
  5. Roll laminators vs flatbed

    Can't really tell from the specs on the GFP 363TH if it is bidirectional. If it is, is there really much to gain by going with a table (which is functionally very limited) when you can do the same thing with your roll to roll laminator as you would with a table, plus the advantage of take up...
  6. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    But you would think that with the amount of media going through Latex printers this would be a concern.
  7. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    I am not trying to promote any products, but what I don't understand is why does some media not have this problem. We rarely use 63" banner and I know the roll I just printed has been sitting here for at least 2 years (I bet longer) it printed fine with no plasticizer migration issues. I even...
  8. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    Interesting I had not heard about that. Something definitely seems to have changed in the last two years. Does this problem only affect Latex inks?
  9. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    Shelf life 2 years. With General Formulation vinyls two new rolls in a row were bad and from different batches. Seems strange that in the last two years I have seen this way more then in the whole 10 years before.
  10. Puzzled by recent plasticizer migration

    I am not sure what is going on as of late but this problem seems to be getting worse. Every time I see it I do the alcohol wipe test and then it prints great. So I question how can it be the printer but I am sure puzzled why this is happening so frequently lately. This is in a climate controlled...
  11. Question Is my 360 a lemon, and should I buy another HP?

    I wouldn't say that the Latex can print on more media given the problem with plasticizer migration and how that limits what you can use and get decent prints. I am not sure what is going on as of late but this problem seems to be getting worse. Every time I see it I do the alcohol wipe test and...
  12. 10mm coroplast cut tool?

    If you can buy from Harbor Sales they can cut it for you.
  13. Printing Grey with HP Latex 360

    There is your problem, DON'T DOWNLOAD NEW ONES. You have a L365 so create a new media preset (do not clone or download) calibrate and then create a new profile.
  14. Printing Grey with HP Latex 360

    Re- Calibrate and if that does not do it create a new profile. In rare instances a media preset with it calibration can become corrupted, in that case create a new media present (do not clone) then calibrate and create a new profile.
  15. Need Help HP Latex 360 Roll Direction Error

    Clean and roughen the locking pad on the spindle and clean the spindle area where it hits. If the doesn't stop the core on the spindle from walking to the left them you might need to replace the hubs or find a way to add something to the locking pads on the hubs.
  16. Need Help Banner bunches leaving headstrikes Latex 360

    The only banners I find that bunch are the ones that when they get hot stick to the curing platen. That is what the curing platen covers are for. I can usually tell which ones will do it when i try a new one and use the curing platen covers for them and never have any bunching problems. If you...
  17. Printing Grey with HP Latex 360

    On HP Latex printers 100% K works just fine if you set that as the output value and do not use CM for 100%K or a rich black input value. I am wondering why you are using an output profile to regenerate the 100%K or any K only grey with exception of light greys which can benefit from low GCR...
  18. Printing Grey with HP Latex 360

    Thats the way to do. No use monkeying around what a new calibration and output profile produces correct color.
  19. Need Help Banner bunches leaving headstrikes Latex 360

    Is it sticking in the curling area? If so have you tried to use the curing platen covers that come with the printer?
  20. Tariffs

    Wow must be how man has survived global cooling and then global warming for the last 5000 years or more. But the leftest don't understand the meaning of adapt amongst all the other things that can't understand. Good news is the climate will always be changing and the leftest can't adapt and they...
