  1. Lamination Issues

    Compressed air? You're kidding, right? Blow it in the air so it can settle on everything and more so on static attracting materials. Don't rule out humidity control. Lack of proper humidity will create a static nightmare.
  2. HP L25500

    There are no OS level drivers for the L25500 printer. You need a software RIP.
  3. What is going on with the Maintenance Cartridges?

    Interesting, up until this last cartridge the L360 was way louder than the L25500.
  4. What is going on with the Maintenance Cartridges?

    That is good to know. Nothing wrong then!
  5. What is going on with the Maintenance Cartridges?

    Has something changed, redesigned or something. Been running a L360 for over 3 years and this is the first Maintenance Cartridge that is this quiet. It is not making as much noise when printing. I noticed it the other day when printing 18pass and thought it had something to do with that speed...
  6. Suggestions HP 365 + Graphtec or Summa

    Take a look at this thread. Question - HP 360 Profiling w/Caldera A lot of the grain problems with the latex printers are from improper setting in the media presets and from poor black generation setting when making profiles. The media is also a determing factor in this as to how it handles the...
  7. Question Color Profiling

    Unlike the Epson 7900 the Mutoh 1204 has to be addressed as a CMYK halftone printer, although the Epson 7900 can be addressed as a CMYK device as well with a RIP. I am just assuming that your addressing it as an RGB device and are familiar with making RGB output profiles. That means on the...
  8. Question Color Profiling

    I don't think most RIP profiling or linearization packages support the Color Munki. Does yours, or do you have other software to make CMYK profiles with it. Other than contone printers you would need at least to be able to at do a linearization with the RIP before printing profiling targets for...
  9. Question 300ppi for a 10' x 8' backdrop???

    Good formula, but I never go under 25ppi for billboards.
  10. Question 300ppi for a 10' x 8' backdrop???

    Sure, but have a small sample printed at full size from both resolutions and then look at it from the normal viewing distance, then you will know if it needs 300ppi or if 150ppi will do the job.
  11. Question 300ppi for a 10' x 8' backdrop???

    150ppi is fine unless for some reason everyone will be looking at it from a foot away.
  12. Need Help latex 310 color issues

    Which nozzles are clogged? How much ink has run through your printhead? First head to be suspicious of is the single lc/lm printhead. What does your CMYK only presets print like?
  13. Suggestions New latex 560- suggestions for 13oz banner profile settings

    Lower the heat and or lower the passes. Test to see where it dries properly. With the new design probably needs lower heat setting than a 360.
  14. Opinions on HP 365 Latex?

    The one downside to the L360 is that it is a contone printer meaning you have no control of the light ink splits, and minimal control over per channel ink densities. For a color management novice you can get adequate color profiles from the onboard color management system, but you do not have...
  15. Cut Work Table or Rollsroller?

    If you can have both, great. But if you are doing roll to roll lamination you will want a roll laminator which if it runs both directions can be used exactly the same way as a flatbed laminator for mounting to substrates, short of the lighted work table but there are workarounds for that.
  16. hp 360 printhead alignment

    Probably is the sensor. You should be able to get to it to clean it by removing the Maintenance Cartridge after you turn the printer off. That is how we did it with the L25500 anyway. But to be safe I would call tech support and get their advise.
  17. GBC Spire III or Mistral 2100 laminator

    I think that those asking about laminators should also mention what you want to use it for. Those of us with lots of laminator use experience could offer a much better answer as to what might be your best fit. For example I noticed this in the GBC Spire III specifications for reversing the...
  18. CM2 not compatible with Illustrator CC 2018

    Just a word of warning for those of you with old plotters that need Cutting Master 2. CM2 causes Illustrator CC 2018 to crash. If Graphtec will update CM2 for Illustrator CC 2018 is anybodies guess. Doesn't seem likely they will support old cutters by updating old software but if anyone finds...
  19. A Little Much I think...

    Luckily we only have to use MS for RIPs and can keep them locked down, preventing updates etc.

    Production Rigs with with subscription software on MS? Disaster waiting to happen?
