With media that does this you only need about 6 to 8 inches past the pinch rollers, not 20".

"before it starts printing, it wastes about 20 inches" Makes it sound like he is talking about a media advance when the job starts before it actually prints. But yes your right you can move the media where ever you want when you load it after it goes through it's loading routine.

Check your settings (printer and RIP), it should not need to move that much media before it starts printing. I have mine set to start printing without adding any margin at the beginning of the print, well maybe 15mm or so.

One thing I forgot to mention is the limited nozzle redundancy with only one printhead for the lc/lm inks. That also could be a cause of color inconsistency.

Rotating tiles, thats a good thing. Is your firmware at 7_00.11? That is supposed to help long run consistency. Depending on how much ink (the light inks especially) your laying down, how many passes you're using and your color mode is CMYKcm you could be getting ink starvation in the one...

Around $80.00 for a 38" x 50yd. roll.

Grimco's Forward Banner is fine and for heavy 2 sided Milano's 18oz is great.

Stay away from anything Ultraflex. Or, wipe it down with alcohol.

Anyone know a source of parts for a Extrim 160 trimmer?

I suppose with .030 styrene is too rigid but thickness isn't necessarily the problem. I run a a lot of 18mil film through the L360 and it prints beautifully.

Interesting on your .017 limit. I have run .030 magnet media on both the L25500 and the L360 without any problems.

Or maybe vacuum settings?

You might want to pull the heads and start looking.

I have always liked the functionality of Colorgate also, but I can't seem to get as good of profiles out of it's profiling software. When I have used it I would use other profiling software to create the profiles and was much happier with its output that way. My own personal favorite is Fiery XF...

Quite a lot can be learned form actual users experience, given that we all could be printing on a lot of different media, with a lot different setting and for a lot of different results. Someone who thinks he knows it all because he talks with HP techs but yet can't answer the simplest of...

Thank you, I agree. I am looking forward to you not hijacking threads with your irrelevant posts and name calling. Now back to the question in the OP. Has anyone that has seen color consistency issue in long runs from ink starvation of the lc/lm printhead seen any improvements with the new...

What calibration on printer or linearization have you tried to bring color back in line? I'll admit with latex you have to keep on it consistently to maintain consistent color. It is more like toner based digital presses but not as bad. Other than the big firmware update fiasco where we had to...

If you can get it through your head that the problem is ink starvation and do you test on real world files/print jobs that would likely use maximum lc or lm over a large area, you then would be able to understand the issues with long run color consistency.

What happens if you try to profile it on the printer?

Thanks for proving my point.
