We did something similar with our HP 550 and R2000. The initial part of the feed/outfeed has a piece of banner wrapped to it and for us that was enough to stop the magnet from sticking.
We are on our 2nd 800w. Ran the first one pretty hard for 3 years and had a few issues towards the end. Bought an R2000 and swung a new 800w in the deal.
No off gassing time, 3 litre ink and fast printing are the pluses. We had some minor consistency issues with the first one. Just ran a 30'...
I have used Cyrious, Enterprise and Squarecoil. The version of Enterprise we have is really detailed, but better for a Print shop than a Sign shop.
Cyrious is super customizable and apparently the new user interface makes it easier to manage.
Squarecoil was just being adopted at the previous...
We removed the cheaper option.
All general adhesive vinyl/flat surfaces: 3M I40c with 8509
Vehicles: Avery 1105 with 1360.
The majority of vehicles are commercial.
We had one Real Estate agency that wanted their coro signs laminated.
We found the best way to do that was wrap about an inch around the back, never had any problems doing it that way
No idea why they wanted the "Cheap but Expensive" way of doing it.
We had a curing module error, not quite the same one, but it turns out there was a pinched cable in the wrap that is on the left side.
Traced it and soldered the cable as the estimate to fix was 4k.
We had one of the first 800W's and while it is a bit finicky, we had none of the problems others seem to have had. I guess we didn't get a lemon.
3 years in we have had to replace a few parts but HP has warrantied some of that even though it is out of warranty.
I found the best way to get...
Used to run 1105 on an 800W and had the odd banding issue. As Ikarasu said for us it was almost always a head needing replacement.
I did have it running at 12 pass for vehicle wraps but that was just me as I was hyper critical of quality and I could see the difference.
Speed wasn't that much of...
Last shop I was in had an 800W. A few quirks but compared to a lot of people out there it was fine. Lots of vehicle wraps in that shop so the ability to print and lam immediately was pretty important.
The machine had one repair in the last 3 years (that shop got one of the first ones available)...
I did have some similar issues with our 800 and as well as setting the vacuum high I also set the take up roll to "always tension"
Seems like the setting to only have tension when the roll advances would allow the media to bunch because of the heat, and cause head strikes.
We had a similar issue with Avery 1105. Turns out what we were shipped wasn't EZRS so not repositionable.
I wonder if 3M is mislabeling what they are sending out?
The legal department at Megacorp used to ask for some silly things from some of our contractors and service providers.
Quite a few wouldn't sign the NDA and other ridiculous asks. I completely understand as I wouldn't either.
If a client asked us to do produce work for them and ask for an audit...
