  1. Testing Caldera with L360 600dpi question

    You can't set the PRINTING-Resolution for the 360, in nearly every print mode, the Latex 360 prints with 1'200x600dpi. The Print Modes differ from the number of Passes. Because of the printer is a Contone-Printer, the RIP won't generate halftone data as it does for most other printers. The RIP...
  2. about to buy a new machine what do you recommend

    For my opinion, the successor of the HP 5000 are the HP Designjets Z6200, Z6600 or Z6800 (as a Photo Printer with pigmented ink). But today it is possible to print cheaper with latex.
  3. L360 Ink Pooling

    The head alignment plot is not ink limited. As long as the head adjustment runs to a "successful"-Message, anything is ok. If you have that in regular prints, you perhaps print with a wrong profile. In this case you should test another one.
  4. FB500 double sided registration

    For Jigs, the camera registration is useless, because the camera just register a few reference points. For this, I would use a Template.
  5. FB500 double sided registration

    Because of camera-based media registration and enhanced position repeatability by using alignment pins, double sided printing will work fine especially with a FB500.
  6. My Latex Colors Look Like $h*t

    The reds are working fine with that printers. There must be an issue with yours. Tipp 1: One time I had an issue with a Latex 280 which won't be used much. The yellow ink have looked totally washed out (was in the machine for nearly two years), what guides to heavy colour deviations. Is...
  7. Help selecting a new Mimaki printer

    3 years without lam, 5 years with lam. I don't know a solvent ink which will last longer.
  8. Printing to an HP Printer

    You can generate colour swatches (CMYK or from a current palette) from the View-Menu in Flexi.
  9. Roland and Latex

    I have worked several years (and still do that work) as a technician for roland printers, and now work for more than 3 years for a HP Latex dealer. I think I could comment the marketing Roland does. Print heads In Switzerland, the cost of ink and consumables (heads and maintenance cartridge)...
  10. Why does a business only accept wire transfer for printhead??!!

    My company have wasted money by trying to buy something from indonesia. We have expected that, but just have tried. We had phone contact to this guys there, and they made special offers by phone ... but no delivery happen, and the company can't be found anymore later.
  11. Best RIP for HP L360

    @ Hotspur: This thread is not about the Latex 3000, it is about the 360. A 360 is a contone printer too, but the icc creation and icc storing is printer based. It is correct that the ICC will be applied to the contone file the RIP creates (not attached), but this ICC-Profile will be loaded to...
  12. Best RIP for HP L360

    A modified interface. They have showed preview on the FESPA Exhibition in Cologne/Germany in May.
  13. Best RIP for HP L360

    One big reason in the past to decide for RIP's was the number of profiles available from the vendor or the media supplier. This reason is obsolete because of the profiles are working with every RIP which have a driver. so the "quality" of the profiler module is not a key feature too. We have...
  14. Onyx Production House -- Banner Marks?

    They could do that too with grommets ;) . But I know too that grommets will be in V12 ;) . I agree that one feature like grommets don't make a RIP a low end RIP, but which features are important for you depends on your priorities. I work at a dealer, and do work with several RIP-Softwares ...
  15. Offline Cutting with Roland SOLJET® XF-640, Soljet Pro 2

    Tim Kingston: If you could use an other cutter for contour cutting depends on the RIP-Software you use. As far as I remember, VersaWorks for example supports Roland Cutters only. Jamco: It is a high risk for accuracy if printing and cutting without registration marks, because only with the...
  16. Onyx Production House -- Banner Marks?

    Onyx have spent R&D-Time for that Sign & Banner-Plugin ;) . And after they do not support it anymore, perhaps there will be an other solution in the future, eventually integrated in the RIP-Software itself (as lots of other RIP-software too) ... there are requests of customers for such a...
  17. Cutcontour from Flexi to Versaworks

    The default cut contour colour (grey with name "CutContour") will work. If your Flexi creates pink lines as a cut contour, you could run into trouble.
  18. KCMY not original

    The ink chips of the mutoh cartridges contain serial numbers. Since specific firmware versions (VJ1614 is 1.05 as far as I remember, 1604 1.12 - not shure) the printer saves the serial numbers of cartridges used, and when trying to set a new cartridge with the same serial number ( what will...
  19. NEW HP Latex L370 4th Generation

    Most important with the heads to let them cool down correctly after printing. Switching the printer off directly after printing will lead to problems. We are dealers in switzerland, and we have extremely less problems with the Latex 300-Heads, in opposite to the earlier models. As HP said...
  20. Service Mode is Protected---HELP?

    It will not be a problem with the head height setting, because the system have a sensor for the lower position. So it will reset everytime the printer is switched on. You just need to be careful to don't turn it too much in the wrong direction and kill your heads manually :) . But if you raise...
