Thanks for the reply!! Other than being slow, what do you think of the white and silver ink?

Are you still happy with the updates on the Epson? I see it looks like the new ones are out now.

Mine will do that about 30 seconds into a print. Then after about 20 seconds or so it will go back to normal printing speed. it will act like there is an interpass delay, but mine is set to zero as well. I thought it was something in the printer as it only does it in the beginning like that, on...

Hmmm. I am in the middle of MN, about 2 hours west of Minneapolis. Who did you buy yours from? I bought mine in December and paid $18k with shipping and install. sorry for being a :thread

What are you asking for your L360?

I disagree with the printing of Dreamscape on a L360. I am constantly printing off rolls of the Dreamscape Mystical on my HP L360. It works great for me! I know the stuff I had to match was done on a strong solvent Mimaki, so I know that ink is possible as well.

You have to call HP tech support. I have had all 3 versions of the HP latex printers. When you have the latest model, you get through almost instantly and there really isn't any questions. Once it goes "obsolete", aka when the new one comes out, it takes a LONG time to get to talk to someone and...

After the print gets down far enough to hit the arrow to make it wind around the core a time or 2, put the bar in and select 1 or 2, depending on which way you have ti wound.

Mi do the same thing. I'm not wasting 3-4' to hook it up before I print. Sometimes if I have several separate jobs, I'll activate the take up on the printer between jobs. Otherwise I just let it go.

I too second Caldera!! I honestly bought it because I was an all Mac shop. Haha. But also after reading and researching, Almout every large shop out there that I looked at, that used the HP latex printer that I was buying, used it and highly recommended it. There customer support is awesome!! I...

I really like my HP latex printers. I have had 4 different ones now. I just upgrade to the new models when they come out. The new 360 is WAY improved compared to the first L25500!! I originally switched from a Roland several years ago. I can't imaging going back to all of the cleaning and...

Also, don't let the ink maintenance kit go too much over 100%! I did that and ended up having ink run everywhere when I pulled the ink funnel out to change it. Haha keep and eye on the bucket underneath too. I've overflows those once or twice as well.

I don't recall mine going down that fast. I never use the extra print head cleanings. I will also second to having an extra set of inks, pront heads, cleaning kit, etc on hand. The time you end up with a bad cartridge or head is when you need it most!

There is a converter, but even from HP it is not recommended. Plus, it takes like a 100amp dedicated line just for it then. haha. I also second Caldera!! I went from a Roland VP540 to my first HP Latex and haven't had any regrets! Every program has its pluses and minuses but have no real...

If you were looking at the L260 or L360, it would be the new L360. No questions asked. I would say it would depend if you think the extra expense would pay off? You did see that the L280 takes 3 phase power right? That is pretty much the main reason I never got one. It was more expense than it...

I have had good luck with the Fibermark papers. I also used a waterproof poster paper from the MM here, I think it was Signworld

Interesting. Thanks for the update. I do put print quality as probably my top priority, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Your first post did make me go another direction. haha. I ended up with the L360, my 4th HP latex. I do really like it!! Now that they are finally starting to get...

I've had good luck with HP's cheap uncoated paper.

I think it could be a cheap media issue too. I have some decals I do that have to be done as cheap as possible. I found the alignment is best on a 30" or 38" wide roll with the cheap Kapco media. If I go the 54", it slips and the cuts are off. These are 1.5" by 36" decals, so the media moves...

I wonder if they repackaged someone else's import? The 2 times I tried it, it had "made in China" printed on the box. Haha
