  1. Cutting down stickers

    Yea, that's what we've been talking about, which is a pain in the ass, having to move the holder, reload media, and resend the job.
  2. Cutting down stickers

    So my guy talked to Graphtec today, no go with the dual blade holder...that is designed for pens and said it won't work with another blade in it. That being said, they did say some customers have had success running contour cuts and perf cuts on the Graphtec in the open channel with the blade...
  3. Advise with electric specs on the 570

    I too looked at UPS protection, was costly af. My elec guy put in a surge protector that would protect the printer from any spikes, which was good enough for me.
  4. Advise with electric specs on the 570

    2 x 220 amp's installed here, although 2x20amp 220v would have worked. All plugs/part #'s, etc are in the install guide you should have received.
  5. Cutting down stickers

    Will do! Emailed my grimco rep to find out.
  6. Cutting down stickers

    Do you have a link to this? I'd consider adding it to my Graphtec just so it gets some use!
  7. Cutting down stickers

    I perf cut on my Summa S2T every day and have not had to change the cutting strip yet, going on 1.5 years or so. I used to like my Graphtec, until I got my Summa. On the Graphtec, having to send each job twice (one contour, move blade cartridge, then resend job to perf cut, move blade...
  8. Cutting down stickers

    Hey Bugley1 what Mimaki are you using? A print/cut or their cutters? Is the half-cut/perf cut done on the same job, or do you have to do contour cuts, move the blade, and then half-cut, like you do on the Graphtec? On my Summa, it does it all on one job (contour/perf cut) which is what I...
  9. Question Latex 560: How do I know when it is time to replace a printhead?

    From the LCD screen on the HP: service utilities -> scan axis menu -> force drop detection -> ok - it will run and then display the #'s on the screen for you.
  10. Third Issue With Our L560

    How does this overcome the issue of the ink droplet size being 12 picoliters which is the cause of some of the grainy issues with lighter colors on the HP latex machines. This is not me saying this but HP senior techs saying this, just FYI.
  11. Need Help Mimaki CJV30-130 missing nozzles

    Grimco sells Mimaki?
  12. Suggestions Roland BN20 and Mimaki CJV150-75 Same Price. Which Would You Buy?

    I suspect it will have the same issue. Checking online, it looks like the 5xx line still has a static ink droplet size of 12 picoliters. I notice it with the lighter colors and gradients, which are grainy when you look at them close up. A few other people on here have had the same problem...
  13. Suggestions Roland BN20 and Mimaki CJV150-75 Same Price. Which Would You Buy?

    CJV150, no questions asked. I'm thinking about adding one to our shop as well, to augment our HP Latex. The Latex just isn't that good on stuff that needs to be printed out in fine resolution and is looked at from 1 or 2 feet. It makes a great sign printer, but due to the large static dot...

  15. Best price on HP 831A Latex inks

    Can I show you an invoice with the vendors name removed, so you don't report them to HP? :D
  16. Question Blade replacement tips/tricks - frustrated

    Hey All, Have a Summa S2T that I absolutely love, except for when the time comes to change the blade in it. I have marks on the holder and rod to line them back up and use same number of rotations in and out to try and get it back to where it was...and for the most part this works fine. The...

    30" Summa.
  18. Printing on Reflective

    I print on 5600 and 5700 from Oracal with my HP Latex, no problems at all.
  19. Question Latex 560: How do I know when it is time to replace a printhead?

    HP 310 owner here for 1.5 years, and it never told me once to replace a head. I too noticed by crappy prints and such. There is also a few keystrokes in the service menu you can run to show you the # of dropped dots per print head and if over a certain amount you then replace the head.
