  1. problems with HP Latex?

    To a degree. That's why you're supposed to rotate tiles... Incase one of your heaters (sides of printers) is hotter than the other side. But every rip has a "prepare printer" button that will preheat the printer up. If it's below room temp we usually do that for a few minutes... Mostly so ink...
  2. problems with HP Latex?

    HP Latex has this built into it... It's just most people seem to not use it. Or they'll print for weeks/months, wait until it says to re-calibrate... then they'll re-calibrate and wonder why the job they printed the day before doesn't match their new panels. As your head gets older and the...
  3. Wow, Check out this estimate

    We sell double sided coro flatbed prints for $300 each... Not a lot, but it's our price and we usually get 1-2 a week. Way overpriced in my opinion, but not my call. Meanwhile the guy down the road is doing them for $1-150. Making $40-50 on a sign isnt worth it to us in such small quantities...
  4. Looking to buy a new printer - MM's please view

    I got a free set of inks and free installation when I purchased my latex 110 for my place. Canadian rules may be different though. For our 560 we paid for ink and installation, But we got a rebate on our old printer. You may be able to save a couple hundred here or there going with a different...
  5. problems with HP Latex?

    Doing reprints we've had to rescan and rematch the Color if it was going side by side. But we've printed huge 20ft by 30ft panels and the colors aligned the whole way. We actually found doing a Color calibration before printing anything that needs to match perfectly usually brings pretty close...
  6. Have I mentioned lately that Graphtec Cutting Master 4 SUCKS?

    What issues are you.having with it? At first I hated it. It was a complete redesign. There are some ups to it though. Cm3 when printing multiple copies stops after each copy I believe... Unless I remember it wrong. Where as in cm4 I can print 500 copies and it sends them as one. It took a...
  7. Printer Options / High Intensity Reflective Signs

    Yeah. Not sure how it is in USA but over here every municipality is different. One city will only accept 3M and screen print/cut graphics... One will only accept Avery... One will accept Avery with digital print, etc. We print temp signs and graphics signs on reflective... Everything needing...
  8. Printer Options / High Intensity Reflective Signs

    Did they? That's kind of surprising. I always thought they went with Latex because of the market share. I always wondered why only the 360/365 was warranted, when they all use pretty much the same ink...our 3M rep told us it prints the exact same (560 is a bit different because of the 2...
  9. Printer Options / High Intensity Reflective Signs

    Get a latex 360. It's warranted for traffic. Comes in around 15k new I believe. You do need to laminate though. All colors are now warranted for 7-10 years when using proper overlaminate. All digital will require overam...
  10. Removable and Reusable Adhesive Fabric

    When are you guys going to open up shop in Canada?!
  11. Should Gino be brought back?

    I love how one day half the site is complaining about Gino... then when he gets banned, they complain that he got banned. I don't think I've ever butted heads with the guy... I've only ever learned from him. He laid into people who asked stupid questions pretty harshly and dished it out when...
  12. Question Magnetic media and HP latex 315

    I printed on some and it was ok. They do make latex compatible magnet... https://www.magnummagnetics.com/digimaxx-latex/ That said it did curl a bit and caused a headstrike on the last set, which completely obliterated my head...it tore the whole bottom off the head since magnet is so dense...
  13. Dr Seuss Clipart

    I actually purchased a set of official wall decals from the company - They didn't stick, were super small and useless. So I took them and blew them up, and made bigger ones on proper material that didn't fall off the wall. Canada is a bit different than the US. All our schools and wedding...
  14. Dr Seuss Clipart

    I'd like to sell wall murals and decorate kids rooms with all their favorite cartoon characters. I don't like signs so much as I like wraps and printing "cool" stuff. I did a set for my sisters kids nursery... I'd gladly have paid for the art so I could do so, but I couldn't. I'd never sell...
  15. Backing reflective with ControlTac

    Most of nikkalite isn't removable... However they do have a removable model. 48012pr is the removable #. Most retailers don't seem to sell it... but you can request it, or buy direct from nikkalite. I believe it's newish and if it ends up being popular they'll extend it to their other lines as...

    Just send them a few of these links -
  17. Suggestions 3MIJ40c - 8508 Gloss Lamination

    3M is usually good. Theres been times we've got a bad batch of media and they replaced it. 8508 is rated for Latex... though maybe a few years ago it wasnt. We've used it for a year or so with no issues. But following all your praise on 8048 we tried it... It's not crystal clear like 8518 since...
  18. Suggestions 3MIJ40c - 8508 Gloss Lamination

    It's not latex. 8508 isn't as sticky as 8518. I laminated some blank vinyl and I could pull it off. It holds on good enough that it won't De laminate. It's a little scary if your not used to it... But we've never had a failure in it. It however looks like crap. Too much molting... We...
  19. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    Afaik a judge needs to sign off on a repossession. You can't just go gra. The vehicle without legal paperwork allowing you to do so.
  20. Question Customer refuses to pay, can I take his graphics down?

    You can't physically go get it yourself. You can get a writ judgment that allows you.to employ a reposessor to go get it... As well as reposessing enough to cover your fees. You could barge in and grab them. But why risk jail time and a theft charge? They owe you money... Not the signs. It's...
