    I recently got this message when I fired up my Onyx Postershop 12. "Network I/O is limited. Anti-virus software may be blocking access. Other network problems may exist." I don't know if this contributes to my jobs being cancelled in the middle of printing. It's kinda weird, because it only...

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hi and ask what everyone recommended for media on the HP L25500. I'm not new to printing, but I am new to latex.

    We recently purchased a new latex 365 from BigFish here on Signs101. I've waited a few years due to some horror stories about the latex and I understood that it was new tech that could take time to build a great printer. My friend Justin has a signshop and he uses all HP equipment for this...
  20. Suggestions HP Latex 335 vs 365

    Is the extra $ worth it, to get the 365 over the 335? I'll be focusing on Stickers, at least in the beginning (die cut). As a reference, like the ones Sticker Mule does. I'm thinking either printer + a Graphtec FC8600 54" to start with. Haven't completely discarded the 115 either. All input...
