  1. 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...
  2. 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...
  3. 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...
  4. 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...
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. HP Latex 560 Media Width?

    Forgive my ignorance on this one guys, but an internet search hasn't provided an answer and I've been working with this printer for over a year now and not encountered this issue before, so here goes. I have a HP Latex 560 here at work. We are experimenting with a new material to print on, a...
  8. Mimaki Set SS1-INK?

    Hey all, it's been a long week and it's only Monday.... I am having an issue with my Mimaki JV-130 SPII that I have not experienced before. We ran a head wash after experiencing some severe clogging (we got a HP and now our Mimaki unfortunately sits without being used for weeks at a time) and...
  9. Seal Ultra 62 C Misalignment

    Hey all. So we had a technician come in and check out our laminator, which was working okay but would get wrinkles in it on a long enough lamination. Well, he came by and made some adjustments (couldn't watch what he did unfortunately, was also training on our new HP printer the same day) and...
  10. Mimaki CG-130FX Settings Suddenly Way Off

    Hey all, hopefully one of you can help me out. I was plotting on the Mimaki this morning and it looks like the blade pulled back on a large section of the vinyl and backing and got jammed. I cleared out the vinyl and wiped the blade no problem but now my pressure settings are all WAY off...
  11. Need Help Mimaki JV3-130 SPII Print is skewed?

    Hi guys, I posted a few months ago about our plotter's die cut being way off when it cuts. After piles of hair being pulled out and a couple of months sitting in my shower with the heat on high, contemplating my life choices.... IT'S THE FREAKING PRINT. Today started out annoying and has been...
  12. Need Help Mimaki CG-130FX Not Cutting Right

    Please help! It's entirely possible my job is on the line here... Been working at this place for two years and never had an issue, now all of a sudden something has changed that is not my fault, but I can tell my boss thinks I'm sabotaging... Mimaki CG-130FX plotter, using crop marks for die...
