I have had it with with this stuff. Sick of the buckling liner in the plotter, sick of the buckling liner causing headstrikes and ink smears. So the question is, what do the gurus use as a latex ink receptive, 2 mil, white film with a white (not grey) adhesive layer?

I have used this product for years on the HP26500 and into the HP 560. Suddenly I keep getting this repeating horizontal line in my prints. Only on this material. No setting seems to prevent it (tension, using reflective or high tack or banner settings) and I'm leaning towards it being a...

When HP dumped support for the Designjet 26500, we upgraded to a Latex 560, but we were left with a stash of 26500 inks. We attempted to sell them on Ebay, but we had a package/shipping malfunction and the jerk who bought them tanked the transaction and sent them back minus the damaged ones. So...

Been at my current shop since 2015. Was at my last from 2002-2015. Have used Avery 2 mil high performance vinyl at both jobs. Suddenly, it is useless. Multiple machines, multiple plotter settings - last two rolls have weeded terribly. Shapes/copy cut perfectly, nice trace line on the...

Even in the virtual world, there's a dumpster with misfit signs . . .

LA Noire is literally chock-ful of vintage 1940s signage, but this one made me sad. Well, not sad enough not to stand on it . . .

I've been working with this plotter for almost 3 years and have never been able to resolve the wonky way it tracks material. No matter how straight and taught it is loaded, after more than one or two feet, it noticeably starts to walk off track resulting in bad registration and (on long...
