  1. Inaccurate and Inconsistent print run lengths on HP Latex 560

    To be clear, are you suggesting that I just resize the file to be larger? So If I know I'm losing 1/2" every 8' worth of printing I would just set up the panels to be 1/2" bigger? Or is there a compensation setting in the RIP? Thanks
  2. Inaccurate and Inconsistent print run lengths on HP Latex 560

    We are working on printing a mural job with panels that are 50"x99". We are printing on an HP Latex 560 on Digiscape Stick-R Weave adhesive wall media (approved for HP Latex Inks). We typically have just used the OMAS sensor to determine the media advance but noticed that it isn't always as...
  3. Need Help Color shift when printing directly from TIFF vs placing in Illustrator

    The native TIFF and our document color mode are both RGB for what it's worth.
  4. Need Help Color shift when printing directly from TIFF vs placing in Illustrator

    We are seeing a pretty noticeable shift in color when printing certain images directly from their native TIFF format in Onyx (current version) vs printing them after placing them (linked) into an Illustrator PDF. My suspicion (that we are waiting to test) is that this is due to the "Output"...
  5. HP Latex 560 Issues After Updating TLS Encryption

    FIXED!! I was finally able to talk IT into rolling back the security changes now that the printer is set up to operate through the standalone subnetwork. It was unclear to IT which settings were directly related to the TLS encryption so he just restored them to the factory default and success...
  6. HP Latex 560 Issues After Updating TLS Encryption

    This is actually how it is currently set up. 2 printers connected to a switch and then to network card on computer. Computer is then connected to the network. Apologies if I left this out of the original post but I was hoping to keep it brief so people might actually read it. It would seem that...
  7. HP Latex 560 Issues After Updating TLS Encryption

    Agreed. They are a pretty tough crowd. We've thought about this and it'd certainly be possible to set up a completely standalone PC, although a last resort. It would complicate a number of things including (but not limited to) print production file access, Onyx updates and printer firmware...
  8. HP Latex 560 Issues After Updating TLS Encryption

    We have had an HP Latex 560 running on our highly secured network for about 2-3 years without issues. Our IT department recently blocked the ethernet port our printer was connected to due to "vulnerabilities" presented by the obsolete TLS Version (1.0 or 1.1 or both) on the printer. They...
  9. "Vector Art" brand clipart Versus "Bee-Line"

    For the record, Masterclips sucks and I would have never used it if it was not the only program available at my previous employer. And Fred, not to lose you any business but I found the Vector Art Collections at Beacon Graphics website for $199 +shipping for the set. Seems too good to be true...
  10. "Vector Art" brand clipart Versus "Bee-Line"

    More specifically, I'm trying to do a cost/benefit analysis b/w the Vector Art Mega Collection (Disc 1 And 2---available together for $200) and Bee-Line 4.0 (a collection of over 30,000 images b/w images for around $550). I'm looking for a package that will be used primarily for print only and...
  11. Best Source of fonts?

    Just wondering what you all think is the best place for a business starting fresh to get a collection of the most standard fonts (no more than 500 or so) that are best for signmaking. Current employer has always just used the fonts shipped with Omega Composer and I'm looking for some...
  12. Roland Versacamm SP-540V (54") Take-Up Reel Questions/Comments

    HaHa; your contraption looks much like our previous solution, the "Turninator"® . Basically it was a stand-alone roller supported by scrap 2x6's and constructed out of a metal rod gorilla-glued to an old vinyl tube. Worked the same as yours it sounds like. The stand is still very usefull to use...
  13. Roland Versacamm SP-540V (54") Take-Up Reel Questions/Comments

    Is anyone else running their 54" roland with this akward device tacked on the front that they claim is a take-up reel. It was delivered about 2 weeks ago and I still haven't figured out if I am stupid or if this is the most poorly designed piece of "technology" ever. From what I can gather there...
  14. Competition for the Versacamm

    In Regards to Ventilation, I am currently employed at a SMALL sign shop running a 54" Roland VersaCamm. Of course the salesman told my boss that ventilation was absolutley NOT required since it runs ECO-SOL max ink. Well, since then, we have had a number of days when employees would leave with...
  15. Competition for the Versacamm

    Laminating Digital Prints w/ frog Juice I was reading the Beacon Graphics catalog in which they sell frog juice and they DO NOT recommend it for digital prints. Not sure if I trust this as they are the same company that sells the Epson 7800/9800's as a "great outdoor solution". Just thought...
