I would like to get better at applying vinyl and was wondering if there are classes that teach you. I know of 3M Graphics Installation Training & Testing Programs but I am wondering if there are any in Florida and or Illinois

Hello, I am trying to print edge to edge on a HP FB750. I make the graphic larger than the actual graphic but when I try to set negative margins, the printer will crop my graphic to the scanned dimensions. How do I setup and print the graphic so it physically prints off of the ridge panel so I...

Thanks for the tip. I had to load it as undetectable. Pretty sure it was the gaps in between the box flaps.

The rip (Caldera) is sending over a 24.38" W x 48.5" H graphic with the printer reading a board size of 24.41" W x 48.5" H. I think you're right in that the gap between the box flaps may be causing the printer to stop.

Hello, I am trying to do an edge to edge print using a HP FB750 onto a Corrugated Cardboard box that I have flattened. I loaded the media into the printer, set the depth and have made my graphic print the full box but for some reason the print stops halfway through at 24" but the graphic depth...

I think you're right, I changed the blade height and it is better but still a little jagged. I will look into getting a blade made for thicker material.

The blade is going through the material and I have maxed out the cut pressure to the max of 48 and I am still getting the same results.

This only happens when I laminate the vinyl. When I cut non-laminated vinyl, I have smooth cut lines.

Hello, I have printed on General Formulations 212 and laminated with GF 211. I placed the 36" circle graphic in our Graphtec 8600 and got a jagged edge when cutting. I have attached a picture of the cut. Tool: CB09U Speed: 12 cm/s Acceleration: 1 Cut Force: 35 Cutter Perforation: 8mm / 0.35mm...

Thank you for the information. I did the test and the print looks fine in the area that was cleaned with isopropyl. Is there anyway I can prolong the quality of the roll so this doesn't happen? Is this roll now garbage?

Hello, I am having troubles printing on General Formulations 212. I don't see this happening in any of my other vinyls I print on using the same printer. I have created my own profile in Caldera and have tried some other generic vinyl printing profiles but with no luck. The cracking is most...

Looking for suggestions on how to store an 8ft wide roll of material when not printing on it and I would like to hold the rolls on the wall. I am wondering if I place the roll on the wall on some type of slanted bracket, would that put a dent into the material.

We have a HP FB750 and we're looking to print on a substrate to make column wraps using the roll kit accessory. So we are looking for substrate recommendations that would look good with UV inks.

It can, we got a sample from someone in the area that printed with the HP FB750 but it wasn't very rich. It was similar to our HP 260 and not as good as the 560 that I have seen.

HP FB750 & R2000 has an accessory for white ink. You're right that DyeSub would be best for textile but a majority of our print operations are for other substrates. I've seen fabric printed on a HP 570 and it looked decent.

Hello, I am looking for a new printer to expand the capabilities of my print shop. I currently have 2 HP Latex 260 printers. Majority of our jobs are for Trade Shows, Hotel branding, and corporate events. I have had a pretty good experience using the HP 260 printers and the support has been...

Hi, usually after printing darker graphics, I notice a lot of squiggly like debris on the print. I don't believe these are consistent spots. I downloaded and used the Orajet printer profile while printing in Caldera. Printer: HP Latex 260 Substrate: Orajet 3621 What are some tips on how to...

We ended up using Acetone to get the adhesive off and use WD-40 as a final coat once the adhesive was off. We are going to say no to all brass surfaces moving forward. This was a nightmare.

Thanks for your reply. We haven't had issues with stainless elevator doors. There is something different about these doors. I think they have some type of protective coating that the adhesive stuck to.

We printed on the Seal SolvoPrint™ Easy Dot vinyl using our HP Latex 260 printer. We installed a 40" W x 20" H print on some elevator doors at a hotel. After 3 days, we removed the cling and it left a residue on the elevator. What type of products can we use to clean up the residue? We tried...
