  1. Laminating print vinyl if there's no print?

    Agreed. It so happens the signs are 25" tall so in this particular instance it would only be white and I can fit two perfectly side by side. And that's what I thought! I actually feel like laminate can work against you in some instances, we've had signs before where the laminate has peeled...
  2. Laminating print vinyl if there's no print?

    Hey all, just need a debate I'm having with my coworker cleared up because it seems to me he wants to waste time and resources, but I have been wrong before. I'll keep it short, we have two signs going up soon that will be white cut vinyl on black ACM polymetal. I would like to cut it from our...
  3. HP Latex 360 has been sitting for more than a year. Am I screwed?

    My employer panic bought a HP Latex 360 about 3 years ago now. Our other, much better and way easier to use printer went down for like 2 days because of a bad part and by the next week they had bought a used HP Latex 360 from a FedEx for "backup" (which IMO is bullcrap). So rough estimate, the...
  4. Just trying to get a cohesive idea of what I might be getting into with matte vehicle laminate here...

    Thank you for that, very helpful. Our printer typically gets Pantone colors correct the first time, but should I be worried about that? We use matte laminate on our regular print material and I want to say the colors have always been right with that.
  5. Just trying to get a cohesive idea of what I might be getting into with matte vehicle laminate here...

    Forgive me guys, I searched through the forums and found individual posts but nothing cohesive on the subject so I just want to make sure I've got my bases covered before we try this... We've got a very particular client who wants to match the plastic panels on a bunch of Ford Transit Medium...
  6. Frosted Crystal Air Egress vinyl, lots of weird patches throughout?

    Not sure honestly. I feel like it's possible he didn't realize it was air egress, but he's been in this business for years and years so my boss and I are both wondering how he didn't realize it. It was a fairly large panel to apply, but yeah, not sure.
  7. Frosted Crystal Air Egress vinyl, lots of weird patches throughout?

    I would have to agree with you and signheremd on this, when I wet apped with the air egress (small, doable job for one person) I made sure to get all the liquid out, but this install was outsourced to someone because it's massive and history is showing us that his attention to detail leaves a...
  8. Frosted Crystal Air Egress vinyl, lots of weird patches throughout?

    Like the title says. Pictures included. The vinyl was installed December 8th (22 days ago) so it isn't an issue of curing/settling. I don't know yet what my installer used to clean the glass and/or if he tried to do a wet app but I figured I'd post this here anyways and see if any experts could...
  9. Has anyone seen this before?

    Yeah it's definitely older than a month but we're still going to see if Grimco will at least send another roll at no cost. We don't print translucent very often.
  10. Has anyone seen this before?

    Just tried it and it looks like you are correct. Thank you! Sucks that I have to buy a new roll...
  11. Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi guys, needing some assistance here. This is the first time we've had this issue but there's wavy areas appearing on our translucent print. We've even printed a similar sign for the same company (only difference was the size) with the same material and settings and had no issue so I'm not sure...
  12. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    Interesting, I did see that setting on there but didn't try turning it off. I'll give that a try. And honestly LOL at the HP thing. They never are. Not ever.
  13. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    You're probably not wrong but honestly I don't get paid enough at this job to keep worrying about it LOL. This printer and the Thrive program are both buggy as hell.
  14. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    Hi guys, just wanted to report back in case it helps anyone, but there is a very easy fix for this. We run Onyx Thrive RIP, and under "Edit Quick Sets" click advanced, then go to the "Tile Setup" and make sure "Tiling" is selected. Have printed several die cut items today and all are back to...
  15. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    Definitely within the realm of possibility. There's a setting for that that I'm testing right now.
  16. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    No settings have been made to the profiles I use or the heat settings. This is our standard, every day use material and we have not had issues like this in the 2 years we've had it.....until last week. I printed a panel yesterday and measured before it was laminated, so I know for certain now...
  17. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    As far as I know the only change is that the firmware was updated about 2 months ago. Haven't had a problem with it until now though.
  18. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    You know, I have had color issues now that you mention it. Printed out a 3 panel wall, two panels in one print file and the last panel nested with other print items, and the last one came out significantly darker than the other two despite the fact that I quadruple checked that color modes...
  19. HP Latex 560 Print is Decreased in Size

    I swear if I could go back two years I would scream at my boss not to buy the HP Latex 560. *sigh* Okay. So, we've had this printer for over 2 years now and we are just running into a new issue and I need you guys' expertise before I go postal. We have not had any issues to date with the...
  20. Smudges and Wrinkles in window perf!

    Bless you. You probably just saved my job LOL. I hate working with perf on these HPs but your suggestions got a huge perf job I have to print correctly, it's all dry and everything! Thank you!
