Problem with an older (circa 1998) pneumatic Seal Image 400 laminator. Either the air control solenoid is bad, or I'm missing a plug. I'm hoping someone can send a photo of the inside of the left interior, or at least tell me whether a plug is missing from the threaded socket circled in green...

I’m looking for tips and suggestions for making good butt seams in a multi-panel floor graphic. I can’t cut directly through the material because the knife scratches the black marble tile floor. I’ve done many single-piece floor graphics, and many wall murals with overlapping seams, but this is...

I'm having trouble finding a source for these little plastic pins. They're used to help secure a printed banner to the top rail of a Mark Bric retractable display, but Mark Bric doesn't sell them separately.

Just finished a large window graphics project using 3M 8518 on three different products (IJ8150, 40C-114R, and 70/30 perf, all printed with HP latex). I was surprised and disappointed at how "soft" the surface of the 8518 is. It scuffs extremely easily, even if you just sweep the surface with a...

I need to replace the speed control potentiometer on my GBC Pro-Tech F60+ laminator, and I'm having a hard time determining the proper ohms rating for the replacement. The GBC part number is 220-161. I thought pots generally had their ohms rating stamped on them, but this one has only A6021...

I'm using 3M 8518 gloss lam for the first time, and I'm getting ugly cloudy splotches on the last 8 to 10 feet of each roll. It gets worse as the roll nears the end. It's not so visible straight on, but shows up strongly in the reflectivity. Is this normal? I'm putting it on IJ8150, so it's...

A little Photoshop practice today. Anyone else have an original one to share?

Installing power circuits for a new HP Latex 365. HP specs call for nominal voltage range to be ~200-240 volts. Supplier says "HP does not allow us to install if voltage is over 240." I'm getting 245 volts, which is pretty common. I understand that this is a CYA thing for HP, but I don't want...

Hi All, I need advice and suggestions on what RIP to use with an HP Latex 365 or 560. And forgive my ignorance, but I would also like to know how the Mac-to-RIP-to-printer process even works! Believe it or not, with 30 years in the industry, I have never used an external RIP. When I was in...

Does anyone know why the Z6100 sometimes requires 10 feet of media to do a printhead alignment? I would like to align the printheads more often, especially for some of the fabric media I use, but I sure can't afford to have it blow through ten feet of it! The User Manual says this: "NOTE...

Printer: Z6100ps 60-in., p/n Q6654C, Firmware version GG-GG_11.0.0.2 (latest). The printer thinks every Light Gray cartridge I install is faulty. Per HP phone support, I replaced the entire Ink Supply Tubes and Trailing Cable assembly. No change. EEROM reset did not help. Hard disk wipe did not...
