I've noticed that the test prints will print completely fine. But try to send a normal print through and its misfiring all over the place. Just had a cyan head acting up. test prints looked fine. but blues were banded and misfiring. I fixed it by replacing the head but had to guess which one...

I've noticed that the HP's love printing with bands. Vertical or horizontal or both!.

I wouldn't even bother with vinyl on painted sheet rock walls anymore. What a **** show with the new low/no voc paints. Not worth it. Ever.

Interesting. I would like to hear more about your reasons/experiences regarding this.

then trim down the middle of the overlap and pull out both drops I'm having trouble visualizing what you are describing. What exactly are you pulling out? Arnt you guys worried about the vinyl shrinking over time. Which would show a crack between panels?

It ended up being a bad printhead. even though the test plots were all firing accurately. Bizarre.

I just realized that it could be the new roll of media. I'm checking on that now.

I'm having an issue I hope someone can help with. Yesterday I changed out all of our HP 260's printheads for new ones because we were experiencing color shifting. A PMS color wasn't printing accurately as it should have been. After the printhead replacement and manual printhead alignment the...

Well I hope you had a container to catch all that extra data that poured out of the line! Would be a shame for that data to go to waste.

Hey thanks. We do most of our printing on 3M IJ35c-10. More passes and a delay sound good. I'll give that a shot.

3M IJ180 cv3. And I would highly recommend laminating the prints. I dont care how beat up those trucks are.

On heavy ink runs (black, brown, dark red) the drying is inconsistent. Half of the print will be cured on the right side while the other half is still uncured and oily on the left side. I'm sure others have to be experiencing this. Anyone have a work around? Its seriously annoying. Why is...

yeah drippy heads are no good. Have you checked the ink lines? If there is a leak somewhere it can cause the heads to drip. Check for wet ink on the lines. Or the heads are just bad and need replaced.

looks like static to me. Do a search on the forum you will find a bunch of info.

Fun tip! In all the videos and documentation. they only ever tell you to lube the bottom rail. but there are TWO rails. The other is just above. I was having problems with the carriage vibrating. Once I lubed up the top rail it stopped.

Sheer or straight edge for cross grain. And my little plasticut corex knife for the flutes. I have just come to expect corex getting filthy. Even in the shear if metal is cut in it it will still get your corex filthy. A little soapy water and paper towels does the trick.

Thanks for the tips guys. I finally got it to update.

Any tips to get my 260 to accept new firmware? I'm running on SP_10.0.0.7. and want to update to SP_12_00_00.5 It keeps giving errors. It uploads the new firmware fine. But it keeps erroring out when it tries to apply it. I've rebooted my computer and the printer. I've re-downloaded the...

If they are power washing the prints no edge sealer will hold up to that. At least that I know of.

So I dont have an FB500. But for my HP 260 pass settings are in media manager under basic print mode settings. Then click mode options button.
