Thank for your reply! I've not tried a different material because the Avery is what we predominantly use on this machine. It worked absolutely perfectly before our heating unit went boom-boom. It's now printing speckled at the edges for the first 12 inches, then it prints perfect across the...

Hi all, Our HP L26500, six months old, decided it needed a new heating unit last week, and showed the typical behavior by printing two or three feet of a print, then shutting down. We had the heating unit replaced yesterday, and afterwards, printed a dark burgundy car-sized wrap on Avery...

We have a Royal Sovereign and it's a pile. Avoid, I'd say.

I've been here two years, been in the industry since '95, I've been wrapping for 7 years, I can and do push a wrap out within realistic cost-effective timescales. I have vinyl and print shop experience using HP Latex/Gerber CAT UV and Roland Solvent, I've been making signs for a long time...

This is an excellent thread and very interesting to me. I'm in Central Utah ( I know I know!! ) and I hold a Production based job which includes wraps, we do around 3 full wraps a month and a huge amount of graphics, plus I run the print shop as well. There's nobody else can really even lay...

I'd LOVE to give that a shot!

Thanks everyone. I'm not quite sure how I can get vinyl in and then out of a Sprinter channel without stretching it, but I will try to limit stretching as much as I can. I also found out that during this time period when this project was done, 3M had a recall of IJ180CV3 due to adhesive issues...

Thanks everyone :-)

Thanks for the welcomes! 12v for me Gino, a '67 Bug and a '73 Squareback! :-)

Dear all, Thank you in advance for responses to this, I am thankful of any advice given. Almost a year ago, I completed this full wrap on a Dodge Sprinter LWB High Top, which was a bit of a pile, it has to be said. There were a lot of rust areas, and very chalky paintwork on most of the...

Really? That's a shame! Their tech support are superb though, did you talk to them?

An air bubble in perf?? Ummmm.....ok. Doubt that. He sounds like he's trying to pull a fast one on you brother.

That's exactly what I thought also. Lamination seems to be a little bit like making work for myself, for no real gain. Thankyou brother, for your reply.

I can tell you what not to buy - an HP26500 Latex, or a used HP25500 Latex. Both dreadful. Both unreliable. Both expensive and have little to no tech support. Dynamic of prints is fairly dull (our old Roland SC540 solvent wipes the floor with them) and the time they take to produce this...

I used it on perf and it was dreadful.

Hi everyone! When I first came to the States, the company I work for was printing perforated window film on an HP L25500 Latex, then spraying One Shot UV Clearcoat from a rattle-can to laminate it. I was fairly baffled actually, as the clear did crumble when the backing paper was taken...

Hello Phil - all is good with our Summa, I cannot say enough good things about it, to be honest. Hope all is well out on the West Side :-)

Hi there, I'm a noobie to the forums but have 18 years of sign/graphics experience, so I thought I'd put my 2c in on the subject of the Gerber Edge. We bought one brand new for the standard price of around 15k. For three weeks we battled it's quirky annoying problems. Tech support was...

Greetings! I am originally from England, but now reside in Utah (of all places) working at Creative Signs and Graphics, Spanish Fork Ut. Our shop has a great little set up, two HP Latex, Summa C4sx, Roland SC50, Summa D160 cutter, Mimaki CG-75 cutter, Gerber CAT UV flatbed, and an old croc of a...
