  1. About to purchase HP360 - got some questions

    I am running an l25500 with Onyx and also just acquired an Acuity 1600 led I've printer. I almost purchased a Mimaki cjv3-130 recently but didn't want to add solvent printing to the lineup when I currently have the capability to print everything except fabric now. I am probably going to pick up...
  2. Need help for Fuji acuity 1600 led ink

    are you getting this through a distributor or directly from Fuji? I just picked up a used first gen acuity 1600 LED and was told to buy directly through their customer service. I have searched for bulk third party inks but have not found any yet. I was able to locate the permanent ink chips...
  3. HP L25500 - Color falling out at about the 5' mark

    3 years? Does this printer get much use? The heads are only rated for 1000ml of ink and you should expect failure anytime after that. I am getting between 1500 and 3500ml out of my print heads. Log onto the print server and check to see how much ink has been fired. That will tell you quite a...
  4. Solid color wrap vinyl shipped with premask - How to install?

    I am wondering if they put the wrong lamination on it. I am working on a project using 3m products from the traffic safety division. The laminate is manufactured with the premask unless I specifically order the roll that doesn't have it. The laminate is high quality but not what I would use for...
  5. HP 831 Latex Ink / STS

    HP Latex Ink I've been running Budget Ink in my HP l25500 for the last several months and have only one issue. They sent me a cartridge that wouldn't read when inserted. They made it right immediately. Customer service is top notch. I think I have run about 15 or so cartridges through it so...
  6. Amazon launching print-on-demand service focused on promotional textiles and decorate

    Not too worried I saw the same thing. Not sure about their pricing as the are going to be running Kornit printers. I think the run around 60k or so. Shouldn't be much different than zazzle and everyone else. I sent a sample from my brother got-3 to a potential customer the other day and they...
  7. Amazon launching print-on-demand service focused on promotional textiles and decorate

    I saw the same thing. Not sure about their pricing as the are going to be running Kornit printers. I think the run around 60k or so. Shouldn't be much different than zazzle and everyone else. I sent a sample from my brother got-3 to a potential customer the other day and they still want it...
  8. HP latex garment printing

    I run a latex printer everyday and print a ton of banners, vinyl for signs and vehicle wraps, posters, canvas and more. What I don't print on this printer is heat transfer material for shirts. Before you think I am against shirt printing, I'll also tell you that I run a professional grade screen...
  9. Looking for recommendation : Business phone systems?

    A few years ago I owned a florist. We had 4 phone lines that rolled over and a fax line as well as another line that I was never able to figure out where it went but was paying for because the previous owner paid for it. We were paying almost $500 per month. Switched to ring central and used our...
  10. When Software Piracy Reaches Saturation

    My thought on the matter is that the people who pirate the software/clipart/music, etc on the internet aren't people who would buy it in the first place so the loss of income due to the theft most likely doesn't have as much impact on the sales of the material as it's estimated. If they had the...
  11. Reflective Vinyl Tunneling off the backing paper in printer

    I was dumbfounded when this happened because the sample had run perfectly. Now that this has had a day and half to sit in the shop at 70', it's working just fine. I had no idea the core would hold the cold for so long. I reloaded a roll and printed about 6 feet off of it flawlessly. The only...
  12. Reflective Vinyl Tunneling off the backing paper in printer

    I haven't even heated it. I turned on the printer and was just trying to load substrate with the machine cold. I haven't tried it yet but I will bet that it happens if I roll some out flat. The box shows a manufacture date of 11/25/14 so I know it's fresh also. 3m said they manufacture this...
  13. Reflective Vinyl Tunneling off the backing paper in printer

    I have a HP L25500 printer. I am trying to run 3m 5271 through it. It is an engineer grade reflective material. The client has to have this material because it can be adhered at -40' on their electrical equipment in Colorado during the winter. This product is part of the traffic safety division...
  14. canvas prints

    That makes a lot more sense. You made it sound in your original post that you were doing regular canvas wraps with tape. I just did 9 wraps yesterday. 8 of them wer 16x20 but also had to do a 36x92 beast. There is just no way that tape would work on those and they would last for 50 years. I'm...
  15. canvas prints

    There is no way you can put out a quality product in 2 minutes for that. Just cutting the wood to length, getting the 45' angle and running them throught the router so the canvas doesn't touch the frame except for the exterior edge of the canvas would take more time than that and if you aren't...
  16. pre made sign work table

    If you have a good, busy shop, the experts on finance and making money will be the first to tell you not to do it yourself, but to hire it out. A lot of business owner get caught in the trap of "saving money" by doing it themselves when in reality, it costs them more to do it as they could be...
  17. New owner means NEW EQUIPMENT! Need some advice...

    I did tons of research before buying my first printer a couple of years ago. Found a used L25500. I love love love this machine. Now I'm chomping at the bit for a L360. I can use it for hours on end and then turn it off and not use it for a week or two and never have a problem. Heads are cheap...

    Did you ever find a source for these? I have a doughnut shop needing to have wax bags printed and doughnut boxes printed.
  19. Low Res Logos from Customers -- To recreate or not....that is the question...

    I let them know that there will be a $15 charge for the artwork to be made "print-ready" and then I send it off to a guy I sue on Fiverr so it only costs me $5 plus the time to email them the file and wait for it to get done. I do this 2-3 times a week.
  20. Anyone using Instant One Media on a latex printer

    I ran an entire roll of the Instant One Media through my L25500. The problems I had was that once you finish your print, if you aren't printing something else for a while and you cut off the piece you printed, make sure to unload the media. You also have to cut off about a foot of media. If you...
