Are you switching conditions where one condition is tool position 1 and another condition is tool 2? I noticed that sometimes I have to restart the machine for it to switch tool positions correctly. Now I always restart the cutter if switching between tool positions

Haven't read any of the thread but here is my take: Country 1: Taxes its citizens and controls where/what they can buy Country 2 in response: Taxes its citizens and tells them where and what they should buy :doh:

try air release vinyl

Post picture. I'm going to guess you are talking about the waxy type coating on the prints? That is ink not drying/curing properly/fully

Cool video

I just printed this file on banner I had loaded and its printing perfect, this was matte speed. Have you tried printing in faster modes is the problem still there in matte speed or matte quality? I don't have any other suggestions, I've only see the problem you have due to materials

You can purchase from wholesalers for under $90 delivered, double or triple that and you're good. Your price is reasonable

Run the material though the printer the other way, rotated 90 degrees to see if the pattern direction changes to rule out material. You can splice in a rotated section of material onto the roll to test

Do you only see that in matte mode? Have you tried different "strategies" What material is that in the picture? I've seen stuff like on on certain materials and I think it has something to do with the material surface

I got this one https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LeFu-LF1700-D1-High-Speed-Automatic_10000024211542.html?spm=a2700.shop_plgr.41413.2.77a17121OuBbik Placed an order and it arrived a month later, no problems, Have probably laminated 500 rolls with it now and perfect every time Be sure to...

I bought direct on Alibaba and it was half the price of what you might pay with a US distributor

It's a 15 year old printer, how long do you plan on keeping it running?

Too many other factors/variables and too much time has passed to put all the blame on the head distributor imo

What kind of inks are you running. I would say 2 years is reasonable, lots of factors could affect head life. Is this head in a 15+ year old printer?

Yea but it takes under a minute to mount a 4x8 on flatbed table. Again if you're doing a sheet here and there idk how much time you're saving and if you are doing more then there are probably better flatbeds available in this price range

Wouldn't UV be more desirable for the higher value applications?

So let's say you save 15 cents/sq ft on vinyl printing direct and a few dollars in mounting labor per 4x8 ft board . This hp printer is 90k, so you'll have to print a couple hundred thousand square feet of rigid before you come out ahead vs doing on roll2roll. Again this is keeping in mind...

Seems like a roll2roll printer + an application table would be a better and much cheaper way for doing rigid in low volume without any sacrifices on roll printing

Why is the cutter in image positional backwards
