latex

Looking for a reflective banner media. preferably a 36"/38" or 63" width. Latex preferred but Eco-Sol acceptable I am sure double-sided printing is asking for too much, but I do believe in Santa Claus and Unicorns. I have a customer that was perfectly happy with the boulevard banners were...

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...

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...

Hey guys, I'm new here, I'm just starting out in the business and I'm trying to go independent. I'll be focusing, at least in the beginning, in high quality stickers, as a reference I look up to Sticker Mule's work. I'm decided for Latex, I'll be going for a HP 365 or 335 or 115 depending on...

Recently I needed to run 8 panels of 48+ inches wide by 96 inches tall. Each panel was different artwork and all artwork was full coverage, full bleed, with varying color backgrounds (i.e., not a solid color). Test print looked good, as did the first 12-14 inches of each print. Shortly...

Currently firmware version 5.0.0.8 is on my L25500. The latest version for download is GG-CAL_07_00_01.5 ..but that won't load on the machine. There was a version 6.0.1.6 that is no longer available for download. (anyone have that by chance?) So, now I need to figure out how to get that...

Hi! I have just updated our Onyx Thrive to latest version 12.2. I was hoping they have fixed few bugs and we could now run things without annoying bugs that crashes the whole rip. What I got was Error: *** HP Latex 370 Info : ***Error - cannot start print!. With little bit of searching I found...

Hi, im wondering if its possible to print on GF CONCEPT 230 AUTOMARK vinyl with a latex printer. On the automark website is says "This film is designed to accept a variety of solvent, latex and UV curable inks common to wide format digital printing systems" but on Fellers website is only says...

Our HP printer is down at the moment, so we're having to use a local wholesale printer to print for a wrap due next week. He uses IJ180cv3 vinyl with Lamex 2mil 4yr overlaminate. His pricing is good, but would our wrap job be compromised with the Lamex? Anybody use the Lamex for wraps?

Trying to print a bunch of posters with a gray gradient background. The image file is a jpg ripped as an EPS out of flexi. The gray gradient background keeps making this strange blotchy color pattern. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this?

I have a job coming up where this guy wants me to scan an old photo of his father into digital format and then print it wide format... this I am already setup however I had my vendor send me samples of Sihl 3699 Photoart and then GF Concept 106 optically clear mounting film. The issue I am...

My wallpaper people, whats your process to print wallpaper?? I am going crazy trying to figure this out. We are just getting into wall coverings and I really need some direction. For reference, I am using the Latex 360, HP PVC-Free Wallpaper, and the Onyx RIP. I have the files panelled, but...

Hi guys, I currently own a Mutoh eco-solvent printer and am hoping to purchase another printer in case my Mutoh ever has any issues. What 54" printer would you recommend for printing wallpaper on wall fabric? Currently I print on wall vinyl which takes a while to dry, and will scratch if I...

I have three Latex 360 printers. One of them is having issues drying the ink on heavy coverage prints. All settings and parameters are the same across all three devices - profiling, heat, optimizer. I cleaned the machine with the issue as the inside can build up with oily moisture. The...

Hi guys, So I'm a print tech at a wrap company and we've been have problems with color shifts in panels for a few months now while printing wraps. I've tried everything I know of to get this issue resolved with no success. We are using Onyx 12.1 and are running a latex 360 and 365 and printing...

This printer has been the best! I just replaced the drive belt and all pulleys and bearings as preventative maintenance and... I got a deal I couldn't pass up on a newer model. The old gal is still strong, has new heads and loves to work. $4,000! Email info@Signarama-woodbridgeva.com or call...
