You guys try it and tell me what you think. Try it on glossy media with a solid fill at least 12" x 54"
I can get accurate color but the banding with 377 C has me puzzled. I don't see much banding this with most other colors.
Since unfortunately HP took away the control of the light inks there is not much you can do about the graininess of certain colors. Higher passes help along with high enough Latex Optimizer setting so that the apparent graininess isn't coming from ink coalescing. Higher Ink densities may also...
When I had to get the L360 instead of putting money in an old L25500 to get it running I was forced to run demos of a couple different RIPs until my RIP supported the L360, I ran Onyx Thrive for a little bit. I don't remember if you could choose 600dpi at 8pass or not. Could have been buried in...
Specs don't look all that good on the Arlon DPF318 either.

After today I have had it with Ultaflex junk. Printed 20 2-sided banners, on brand new roll of 18 oz Blockout LTX, printed side A (rougher side) it printed fine. Started printing Side B and found random plasticizer come out and make the prints look terrible. I will not use Ultrflexx even again...
Tried another banner material that was showing some sticking to the drying platen. I noticed that the vacuum was set too high in the printing platen area. When I lowered the vacuum I also noticed this made a effect in the drying platen area. Seems like there is vacuum being applied to the drying...
Hay thanks for the profile. To eliminate the possibility of Media being overwritten I have to ask what Media Name does your profile use?
Also is 100% Ink Density good enough for you with 6 pass?
There is an onboard test you can do in setting for Latex Optimizer values. In my testing on vinyl getting up to about 24% seemed help in getting a smooth edge with less bleed or dot gain (what ever you want to call it) in edges. Just be aware that the Latex Optimizer is figured into the ink density.
I think the heavy ink coverage has a lot to do with it. Printed it before with the same setting and light ink coverage and did not have this kind of sticking. I will have to try lower heat and more pass for heavy coverage.
Anybody using this on the L360?
I am really struggling with this sticking to the drying platen when printing the second side if there is heavy coverage on the first side. I guess I will have to try higher passes and lower heat.
Any other double sided 18oz that works good in the L300 series...
