  1. HP Latex 560 - Pantone Color Matching

    I'll start by saying the vast majority of experience in wide format printing has been working in small shops with Roland printers, and printing with either Versaworks or FlexiSign, so there's a good chance I'm either overlooking something obvious or was just never trained in the proper methods...
  2. HP 560 with Oracal 3651 Clear - Need help with calibration / profile

    We've had a pretty good experience so far in the time we've had our HP Latex 560. It certainly does some weird things now and again and wastes a lot of media on loading, but otherwise has been a huge improvement over our very old Epson S40675. Currently I'm working on 3 jobs that need to be...
  3. Getting our 560 this week. Any insider tips or tricks?

    Our (not so) trusty Epson gave up the ghost last week, but we had been researching printers for a while before hand, so making the decision to go with a 560 wasn't too difficult. The printer should show up in the next day or two, with our installer coming out at the end of the week. We've gone...
  4. 3M 8915 - Ultra Matte - need supplier or alternative

    All my normal suppliers, Fellers, Grimco, nGlantz, are out of stock of the 3M 8915, and have 2-3 week lead time on getting more. I've got a couple jobs that require the ultra matte (museum walls and other displays) We are located in Raleigh, NC. Looking for a supplier that either has the 8915...
  5. X-Rite i1Studio - Any feedback?

    I've been tasked with finding a spectrophotometer so that we can make an attempt to resolve ongoing color consistency issues with our Epson S50675, but without spending a ton of money. A regular i1Publish Pro 2 is around $2800, vs 'only' $500 for the i1Studio. The feature sets of both seem...
  6. S50675 - Pantone Colors not matching. Cyan especially

    This is the 2nd job recently where a previously printed job needed repairs after coming back from a show, and when I opened up the previously ripped job that was still in the print que (ie: zero changes to print media, print profile, or media selection) and the colors are coming out totally...
  7. Optically Clear Back Mounting Film

    So the shop where I'm working has been using Fix-On optically clear mounting film to mount graphics printed on polyester blockout film to the back of acrylic sheets. Just called to re-order some film and found out that they no longer make it in 36", which is our most used size. We would have go...
  8. Onyx RIP-Queue 11 crashing on load

    I'm running into a new situation with Onyx RIP-Queue 11 crashing the instant it finishes loading. I loaded some print files (23x 4.75" solid color cubes with text and small logo. Very small files) The print profile being used is 1440x1440 stochastic (stochastic being the only dither pattern that...
  9. Inconsistent print lengths - SureColor S50675

    I can't really find much about these printers. I don't know if there aren't many out there, or if they all run so perfectly that no one posts about them. I'm noticing print lengths that vary slightly, but not in a manner that can be adjusted for. Ran the print length calibration and it was out...
