Honestly i was worried as well because i couldnt understand quite why an 115/310/315 doesnt need two 20amp breakers and a 365 does, i theink its because they surpass the 3500w limit due to the extra heaters to cover the width. I did once see the electric wores starting to melt when i visited a...

Oh yes before i forget: you could also have a look at the 115 hp latex dunno the exact diffences by heart but its cheaper.

Latex 315 works perfectly for that. You dont meed 20amp separate beeakers for the 315 series (i use one 16amp and its sufficient as it pulls ca 2500watts), if you want a bigger one youll need it. Get the rollup unit option too you will love that. You can leave the hp easily 1-2weeks without...

You can reach a good result but you’ll have to test your flexcut settings. You can make that long noncut shorter but depends on the design being flexcut which setting will be the best. Dont forget that its only the liner whoch isnt cut completely as sich the decal itself will be flawless. Hth T

Thx for the info. Yes i discovered the oiler to, it seems putting oil in this is part of the hp tech procedures and isnt documented to endusers (as far as i could discover). I fill her up too. But even if she is filled. When i touch the metal axis it feels somewhat dry to me and the my...

Thanks for the info, that solves my worries and shows my overefficiency :p Greetings, Thierry

Thx Dan. I have two empty bottles and need to order some more. I guess i'm using way more than needed but i think what's not oiled enough will wear faster.

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has found a good alternative to the liquid gold.... eh, i mean lubrication oil DB2-68 which HP supplies in 10ml doses to lubricate the printhead axis? I must admit i love this oil as its perfect and doesn't drip like chain/sewingmachine oil. Did anyone has found...

Hi Mark, Thanks for your info. Well, it's the Mistral version and a Kala so i guess that should count for something. I'll have more info next week when she's in. Will keep you all posted. Thx for all the info and feedback, really helpfull as there's not much info about the Mistral 1600HR online...

yeah i set the opos marks at 200mm, cost more time to start the cutting job but this small change together with using oposxy in combi with my HP Latex has greatly improved accuracy. hth T.

Thx, all these posts give me great confidence that this puppy is a steal :-) I’m only waiting for a 1600hr owner to speak up and then we’ll know :-) And if not i’ll be the first to confirm my findings once she’s in her new working space :-)

From my limited experience - newbie alert :p - use Grafityp ae38c or Arlon slx for this, that last one even shrinks nicely when you heat it, is nice stiff. I tried such round things with standard calendred polymer and didn't have success (had exactly the same thing going on), but that might be...

It's full name is Kala Mistral 1600HR, this one: http://www.ednord.dk/Brochurer/Kala/KALA_MISTRAL_1600HR.pdf I think it's in fance the predesessor of the current Mistral 1650. Thanks for the help & info guys, Thierry

oh nice, thanks all, are you guys talking of the 1600 or the 1650? I don't find a lot of usefull info regarding the type that i'm getting, which is the older 1600HR, but you guys are starting to get me dreaming of laminating instead of my laminating nightmares. Thanks all, super members here...

Hi all, just for followup: I managed to find a metal blad holder and it seems that i have allready bought the summa 60° blades so i hope once that blade holder gets delivered and i find some spare time (which is becomming really scarse right now... Is it me or is it when the sun appears and it...

Very informative thx Mark. Does the tracking and levelingnip also are present on the 1600? Aside from the trimmers are there a lot off differences between the 1600hr and 1650? Thanks, Thierry

Hi all, I have the option to buy a mostly ignored and unused Kala Mistral 1600HR of around 500usd. Anyone care to share their experience, tips or nightmares with such a device? Thanks loads as a simple google doesnt give a lot of info aside from specs and a manual.

Hm i would try to open up the side covers to have a look at wheee that sound is coming from. Had this with my gmp and after opening up i could see a missing part of a gear :-/ hth

love to but i'm over here in Belgium, so s&h and import will kill your super pricing. I do love your website with top blog, very helpful!

Yeah, i'm thinking too that magnetic could be an issue, but then again that YT movie shows that it could maybe be doable. I'd love to test it but I'm hoping that i may find an alternative holder and blade so i at least would be able to test it, knowing that quality or blade wear will most likely...
