  1. Double sided banners on 360 - large run

    Thanks, yeah I know. Could get a bit tedious doing that 250 times though. I quoted and added a premium for the back side. Hopefully they just go for the single sided option. We could smash them out no worries.
  2. Question about wide format Latex Quality

    Maybe go to a dealer and have some samples printed on a demo machine. Wholesale printers are usually geared for speed, not quality.
  3. Question about wide format Latex Quality

    This feller says the only mode to get 1200dpi from is 18 pass. http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/HP-Latex-300-Series-Discussions/HP-Latex-360-1200x1200ppp/td-p/98673 I've never been curious enough to find out. The quality is fine for nearly all signage applications.
  4. Double sided banners on 360 - large run

    Anyone done large jobs d/sided on banner on a 360? The few times I've done small jobs it worked but was a bit tedious. Talking 10 full 50m rolls. Each banner 2m long.
  5. New S160T - won't play with Onyx

    Possibly although I'm just trying to use Cut Server to generate the file for Summa Cutter Control to scan and cut. It does read the barcode but says the file number xxxx is missing. I tried renaming the file and it just scans but cuts crazy lines. Probably need my supplier to contact Onyx.
  6. New S160T - won't play with Onyx

    We got our new S class T OposCam cutter this week and it's a beast. It cuts fine from Winplot but I can't for the life of me get Onyx Cutserver to talk to it. While Winplot is usable I want to set this up to cut whole rolls using barcode server. I can plot to file in Cutserver but when I...
  7. HP 300 Series Firmware NEXUS_01_10_00.4 - Released 9/14/16

    Download the file from the HP website and do a manual install through the printer's web page.
  8. Avery 2611

    We use a lot of 2611 with DOL2100 laminate. A national bank here is refurbing all their branches and we print all their wall graphics for our state on 2611. For painted plasterboard it's perfect. Thick, easy to apply and removable. It cuts okay on our Summacut but due to the weight can slip...
  9. Solo installation tips?

    I worked solo as an installer for years. I used to drill a hole in the centre of the panel, put a d shackel through the hole in the panel, set an extension ladder up so it leant above the sign position, then hoist it up with a rope over the top ladder rung. Not much good if there was any...
  10. Best printer for economy paper posters

    We also print on 80gsm bond on the 25500. Just a note - the 360s don't print on uncoated paper as well as the 25500.
  11. Summa F1612 flatbed cutter

    Wow. Congrats. I've been looking at these lately too. Can these cut sheets longer than the 1200mm bed length?
  12. VENT - Things that annoy you in the print industry.

    Slow paying customers. After you bend over backwards to deliver their jobs at short notice.
  13. Best printer for economy paper posters

    We kept one of our old latex 25500s mainly to print posters on cheap uncoated stock. They do a better job of it than even the 360s. We use 200gsm uncoated paper and it even does a reasonable job on 80gm bond paper. You'd need a RIP though.
  14. Summa Barcode Server + Onyx 12

    Yes that's it! Thanks so much. We nearly always print colour bars. I covered them over on my test print and it read and cut the job right away. I owe you a beer or two.
  15. Summa Barcode Server + Onyx 12

    Thanks for the advice. I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe I started too far in from the edge.
  16. Summa Barcode Server + Onyx 12

    Thanks for the reply and offer of PDF Frank but Ich verstehe nicht Deutsch, sorry. The cutter scans the barcode but returns the error I mentioned so I don't think position of the head is the problem. I'll change the media calibration to see if that changes things.
  17. Summa Barcode Server + Onyx 12

    Yep the files show in Barcode Server. I start the barcode reader from Summa cutter control and it looks for the barcode but just errors out. I'm sure it's just something simple, like these things usually are.
  18. Summa Barcode Server + Onyx 12

    I've had the Summacut D160R for years now and it's been a workhorse. Since I recently ordered an additional T series cutter I've been looking at productivity improvements for both cutters. Until now I've been setting up print/cut jobs in Illustrator and cutting through Winplot. This works...
  19. Is there any way to fix leaning retractable roll up banner?

    The pole probably isn't in the base properly.
  20. Kia Orana from the Cook Islands

    And gday from Oz.
