  1. Wasatch - Asking for registration codes all of a sudden.

    Been using Wasatch for 5 years, with the dongle and code. Use it pretty much every day, I turn it on my computer this morning and open Wasatch SoftRIP 7.2, and now its asking for registration codes, and removed all my profiles. August would be the revision date so it just strikes me as random...
  2. Question Retractable Banner Stands: Resetting

    Anyone know about how many rewinds it takes to reset the coil in a retractable banner stand? Using a SilverWing. Customer probably let it go when they were done and it shot off the part that attaches itself to the stand.
  3. Question HP 360 Optimizer use

    Thanks for the responses :) I had about 30 ml left of my optimizer left to run a full 150' roll of heavy dark blue, I know I haven't seen it move much, but didn't trust it going over night. Replaced it, came in next morning and it ended up going through 130 ml of the optimizer. I'm at 120%...
  4. Question HP 360 Optimizer use

    Anyone have an idea how much the HP 360 Latex goes through a whole roll (around 150 ft.)? Just curious, sometimes I barely see the ml. move.
  5. Onyx Production House 12.05 Unable to RIP PDFs

    Just got Onyx Production house 12. Fresh install, on multiple computers, same problem; no PDF's were RIPing. Fixed it: Setup > RIP Configuration > Jaws Font Manager. Select All, then Delete, and Ok. Clears the font cache. RIP'ed .pdf's fine.
  6. HP Scitex FB500 Rip Software

    Thanks for the info everyone!
  7. HP Scitex FB500 Rip Software

    Got a HP Scitex FB500 coming in 2 weeks wondering if Wasatch SoftRIP V. 7.2 can support, already e-mailed Wasatch's support but figure its worth a shot to ask on here what RIP software everyone's using to run the flatbed. Thanks!
  8. Question Strange ink drop pattern mid print???

    Usually a rogue hair in there was a pretty common issue on the Roland I worked on because of the scrim vinyl we used on it; I've seen little threads from the scrim get stuck to the bottom of the printhead then the wipers clean it (adheres to the wipers) then randomly later goes back to the...
  9. HP360 Lamination Problems

    We print on a HP360, never had a problem with the laminate coming off, we have used oracal 290 and the 210 matte/gloss (all cold lams). Never experienced this issue... I have seen issues with heavy cmyk color mixes that dont dry so well, so we set the heat up to 217 (102.7 Celsius) degrees...
  10. IJ35C-10 Faulty rolls of vinyl

    I knew that eventually I would have to replace these with the suppliers, just wanted to check with the community if anyone else had the same problem with that lot number, also wanted to serve as a heads up with anyone else who winds up with this batch. Thanks for the responses!
  11. IJ35C-10 Faulty rolls of vinyl

    Yeah, I cleaned the rollers, the carriage rails, printheads, did a printhead diagnostic, color calibration, and the area under the heating unit. You can see the line appear the moment ink is being layed down. Infact, I was using some of the first roll for some white overlam decals (since it...
  12. IJ35C-10 Faulty rolls of vinyl

    Just opened another box of IJ35C-10...Still having the same issues. This is the 3rd box, the second that is for sure from the same lot number (G17300) as the other faulty roll. Ran the same job on the Controltac 40C-10R, came out fine. If anyone else has that same G17300 lot number please...
  13. IJ35C-10 Faulty rolls of vinyl

    Had a roll of IJ35C-10 (3M materials) last week that had issues with lines showing up on the sides of prints. Came out towards the end of the roll so I didn't have the box anymore with the Lot number. This is a new roll of IJ35C-10 and now I'm having the same issues. Hard lines showing up in...
  14. Need Help Printing with HP Latex 560

    Welp. Make shift clips worked great, but the material is too strong on keeping its form once the banner header passed so the face of the print is hitting the upper heating platen before it dries. I'm just going to print on some clear vinyl and apply it to the reflective, already destroyed way...
  15. Need Help Printing with HP Latex 560

    So I attached some scrim vinyl as a header and the tension is great but the inside still warps inside the heating platen...which in turn creates bowing on the side closest to the printheads. I now have the temperature at 180°F and going to drop another 15° lower, and maybe create some sort of...
  16. Need Help Printing with HP Latex 560

    I'm trying to print right now on some diamond grade reflective with a HP360, I've already dropped the temp -30° F and increased the vacuum from 40 to 70 still getting head strikes. I fear if I drop the heat any more the ink won't dry. It usually won't dry under 190° F when the profile is set to...
  17. Uv Printing On Reflective

    I've seen threads about how people have been printing on mirrors and it has mix reviews, where some people do it weekly on their UV Flatbeds...Does anyone have any experience in printing on reflective material? I have some reflective blanks and would like to change my process from printing on...

  20. Question Some Latex 360 Issues

    I swapped out my LM/LC on Thursday and ran a sample of that same job and seems to be no banding at all. Even though it was only 2000ml in, it seems like LM/LC had to be changed, it was only 1 year old...almost to date. And since then, my LM cartridge moved from 36% to 34% so it looks like...
