  1. HP Latex and sticker printing

    Lucky you. With the HP260 you can set your light ink curves when you setup your linearization. For L360 and beyond users we can't do that. The best we can do is control GCR in the output profile but we are still limited by HP's baked in light ink curves. Which brings up the question which I...
  2. HP Latex and sticker printing

    Makes it real confusing when one can't differentiate between between Media Preset and Profile.
  3. Need Help Urgent!! Anyone know how to build a smooth gradient without banding in illustrator.?

    We have gone through this before here so you might what to do a search. If I understand what you want to do you need to set Document Raster Effects Setting in Illustrator to at least 300ppi. This is if you are RIPing the Illustrator file or generating a non flattened PDF to RIP. You can test...
  4. 14oz banner crinkling on print?

    Unbelievable, People still trying to use Ultraflex on Latex printers! Only thing you can do is wipe it down good with alcohol and hope you can get all the plasticizers off to even hope to get a decent print. And your other issue is the heat is too high and or maybe tension is too high.
  5. HP360 Lamination Problems

    Thanks for posting that. Now I know not to try Avery.
  6. HP Latex and sticker printing

    So tell me are you making your own output profiles and setting GCR for maximum usage of the light inks? Seems to be what is common about all the threads your talking about. Those of us with color management and making our own profiles knowledge don't seem to have much of an issue with grain...
  7. HP Latex and sticker printing

    TomK Are you having this problem on all medias? What are your optimizer settings in your Media Presets? Take a look at this post. Dec 5, 2016 And this was not printed at 18Pass. Take a look at the GCR settings of your output profiles. Black start especially. PM me and we can discuss this...
  8. HP Latex and sticker printing

    The wrong optimizer settings in the Media Presets and the GCR settings in the Output Profile that is not set to take maximum advantage of the light inks are the reasons for graininess, along with what was previously mentioned about printhead alignment.
  9. HP360 Lamination Problems

    Did some testing of this issue today. Both tests were done on bleeds with 100% printer black only. 3M IJ180CV3 & 8519 could not pull up lam no matter how hard I tried. This was after laminating about 2 hours after printing. General Formulation 201 & 401. With a some effort I could pull up...
  10. Need Help Yea or Nay? Floor rack for large vinyl rolls EZ Horizontal Vinyl Roller Rack #17 EZH17

    Yes I have. And, the damn things won't fit on laminators or printer shafts when that happens.
  11. Need Help Yea or Nay? Floor rack for large vinyl rolls EZ Horizontal Vinyl Roller Rack #17 EZH17

    I never liked hanging rolls like that because the core get oval shaped from the weight and hanging at the top point. Much better to stand them on end.
  12. HP Latex 365 - Gans Digital Media / Gans Ink & Supply Co, Inc.

    It does do "continuous printing" as long as the Media Preset is the same. But not all RIPs support it. The older Latex machines had a small pause between jobs.The 300 series does not pause at all between jobs it is totally continuous.
  13. Printing dark blue L25500

    There is your problem. Create your own profiles and you will be good to go. Dark blues are the easiest colors to hit with Latex.
  14. Dry Transfer Over-Laminates ?

    From what I hear it has been discontinued. I have never found anything else like it. Anyone know of a similar Dry Transfer over-laminate.
  15. HP360 Lamination Problems

    After doing a search it looks like nozzle clogging is still a big issue with Epson printers. Especially one that is not used constantly.
  16. HP360 Lamination Problems

    Anyone known what the ink longevity differences is between the HP and Epson?
  17. 61" - 64" SAV and Over-Lam

    No that won't cut it. What they want is 5' x 8' or 10' cast vinyl laminated signs just like we do with 4' x 8' or 10'
