  1. hp315 printing grays as tan

    So how exactly does this calibration/Re-Linearization allow a Print Shop to avoid printing greys? sounds more like a HOW TO print grey....
  2. uneven cut on this only , everything else is 100%

    ... can you set the blade to kiss-cut the contour and then give even a square cut through the backer? contour cut stickers originally were only kiss-cut so the larger backer could be used to help peel the sticker when applying... using the through-cut to contour the sticker causes issues when...
  3. Material problem or printer set up issue?

    I second the 'try a different mesh'... I have printed a few jobs on mesh on our 700w - never seen any issues like that. (and mesh was some of the first things I printed on the 700w - I used cheap media from Kelly/Spicers.... nothing special, just what they had on hand.)
  4. Die Cutters

    Find an old letterpress in the correct size for the most accurate die-cutting. These days just about everything is digital plotting, NOT die-cutting.
  5. Wanted need to outsource 2-color plotted/weeded vinyl decal for vehicles.

    Hello, I am needing to outsource about 200, 4" x 7.5", 2-color plotted/weeded vinyl for the side of fleet vehicles. The design is type. We delivered stickers to the Transportation dept but they did not like the edge of the sticker showing up when the vehicle is dirty. They are now requesting...
  6. SP-300V solid cuts look like sloppy perf cuts

    ... use a very light silicone oil, one that does not spread at all. The silicone can negatively affect adhesive (don't use too much), but it will be the least likely to leave any unwanted residue elsewhere. something like Prisco Slide works well on these tiny bearings.
  7. Gloss differential from Overcoat being a separate ink.

    I would look at your artwork - our 700W pretty much prints the OC over the image, not with that huge blocky crap.... Though I have seen it. I believe when we sent a very low resolution background with higher resolution elements on top (like your type on top of graphic.) I am not entirely sure...
  8. 2 pass or more force for pop out stickers using laminated stock?

    on our fc9000 I try to never make 2 passes over the same line - even if it looks perfect there is usually a 'hair' of vinyl on a few of the final stickers where the blade shaved off just a little when the position was off. - very thin, and functionally not a problem, but the customers really do...
  9. Graphtec Error

    it looks like something either restricted the Y-axis (in-out of media through plotter) movement, or something makes the computer think something is restricting the motion - make sure the motion is not restricted by something obvious, check the encoder strip (they can get pretty dirty) and as a...

  12. Source for vinyl for small projects

    This can be a salty bunch - none of the descriptions I have seen say otherwise. Please feel free to use your agency to research and read through a few posts before deciding to post or not.... To the OP: search for your local suppliers, as said, Grimco will work... for the "pro-sumer" or...
  13. White print on fluorescent Foil

    hey, not to bash any printer, or anyone's white ink setup - but please just run a full practical test of printing white behind your graphic (at whatever density you decide...) just to make sure it has enough opacity for your needs - and be aware that likely if you print the exact on different...
  14. Coloured Vinyl for Latex Printers

    it does have a large curing area - mostly under heaters, but you can control the heat --- I have already turned down the heat on most vinyl profiles as they become very flimsy. Not sure how this affects the longevity of the adhesive - it was a sample piece of 2080 and I though I would give it a...
  15. Coloured Vinyl for Latex Printers

    I have loaded a sample of 3M 2080 into the 700w and made a few tests... the abrasion/smudge test area was able to dry and I believe the ink was fully adhered to the surface- but I did not have more and did not print beyond the test patterns as I only had a couple of yards. (you need to peel...
  16. static ips

    .... for practical purposes, if you are not the one managing the network, the # of ip addresses can be very finite (granted this may be artificial and imposed by your Tech Services). My general understanding from when the ip was created is that historically the ip addresses were very limited...
  17. static ips

    On a large network (like a school District's) There may be more users/devices that there are potential/available ip addresses - as such they tend to use dynamic ip, so that you can survive with fewer nodes.... However, some devices, like our printers, really need to have constant contact with...
