It is sometimes frustrating when I am printing vinyl stickers because when I go to cut, the lines are a little off due to the warping of the material when drying. I am using an economy calendared vinyl and am wondering if using a cast vinyl would help (although more expensive). Some materials...

I was thinking of removing the printer from the stand. Is that a bad idea for any reason that I am not foreseeing? Thanks!

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on the best technique to move a large printer. I think the biggest challenge will be getting it on and off the truck with no lift and not at dock height. If anyone has had any suggestions on what to do OR what NOT to do, please let me know. Thanks!!

Thanks for the tips. I called HP and they were still under warranty so I will give some new heads a try. Thanks!

Ive been having an issue with the yellow on the latex and cant quite figure out how to diagnose. At first it was a bit dirty in and thought I might clean the heads. The top image was the most recent after the head cleaning - clearly it is worse than the first round that are pictured below it...

Since Summa cutters are top notch and enjoy the many praises from its users, I'm guessing that is why there doesn't seem to be a plethora of used available online on sign trader, ebay, craigslist, etc. Am I correctly judging this as a "when people buy Summas - they keep them" kind of scenario...

Would the cleaning solution be a good idea for cut lettering? I suppose I could test it on my wall, but in general, will that 70/30 solution leave marks from where it was used to prepare the wall? I see how it doesnt matter on large printed wall graphics. Also, would it be easier/cheaper to put...

Do you mind me asking approximately how you go about pricing something like this? I usually do smaller stuff (stickers and such), but someone asked me to do a larger wall and its my first time pricing it out. Not quite as big as your job, but do you typically do a flat per sq/ft charge or give...

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but can I bounce this off of you all to see if I am being unreasonable. Within the last three months I purchased the caldera upgrade as a trade in. So I sent in my Onyx key and paid the upgrade fee for the license. Now, just a short time later they come out with...

Can I bounce this off of you all to see if I am being unreasonable. Within the last three months I purchased the upgrade to the software as a trade in. So I sent in my Onyx key and paid the upgrade fee for the license. Now, just a short time later they come out with a new version and want the...

I am printing on Phototex on an HP L260. On a sample roll I noticed that the backing paper can get rippled (particularly where the closer to the end of the roll as it is tightly wound up. Its like the heat or something separates the vinyl from the backing and then get get shifted. If anyone can...

how did you cut it? With a saw?

Does anyone have ideas on how to go about cutting a roll of phototex. The reason I want it cut is because I have a 30" plotter and the opaque version doesn't come in a 30" (not for another month or so at lease) and was hoping in the mean time to by a 60" roll and have it cut it in half. I called...

Hi! Looking for tips on material for a trade show backdrop for 2 booth spaces (20'). I am thinking of doing something simple like a pole pocket at the top. Any advice is welcome, especially if you have printed this kind of application before. I am printing on an HP Latex 260. Thanks!

I think I am missing something very obvious, because setting up a batch of stickers seems more complicated than it should. Here are the requirements: 1. 30 copies each of 100 sticker designs setup with contour cut lines 2. Maximum 72" length (so the section is not too long for the cutter) 3...

I am driving an HP L260 via a trail of Caldera and I have twice had a broken pipe error and another misc. stop mid-print because of an "unknown reason" in two days. So many people speak very highly of Caldera, but I am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong. I had a trial of Onyx...

I am using Onyx Postershop and am trying to figure out the best workflow for what we do. We do print/cut wall decals and want to offer them in various sized widths. Most likely we will have one size designed and then will make the various requested sizes as they are ordered. When importing a...

I have an .eps file that I am pulling into Onyx 11 and when it is importing it is not using the art board as the limits to the document size. I have an element that extends beyond the art board edge and it brings in the whole thing. I read something about setting the document limit with a...

I am new to printing, so pardon me if I am not using the right terms or if I am overlooking something obvious. I am on the trial of ONYX 11 printing on a HP L260. What I would like to do is pre-setup a large contour cut vinyl job to print overnight, however, I don't believe that I want to have...

Hey, I am new to printing in general and I have a L260. I was printing some product labels and noticed that when you look real close the print seems a little grainy. Most noticed in solid blocks of color. I must admit that it is slight, as when you look at the label from a normal viewing...
