  1. Looking to replace a GS6000- latex or Eco-solvent?

    Hi all, I've been browsing around on the forums and have read a lot about some of the options- we're intrigued by the HP latex 330/360, read some bad reviews of the Epson Surecolors, and have no idea where to start with the other brands. I'd love some feedback on the new HP latex printers if...
  2. Silvering with Latex Printer

    Hello everyone, I have spent hours on here stalking and finding EXTREMELY valuable information for my venture into a new home-based print shop. A little about me; I have been in the sign industry for almost 6 years, primarily in print production and installation. I have installed all types...
  3. Caldera printing problems to HP Latex 26500

    We are having on going problems with files crashing while printing. The files are not very large but they may not print at all or print 99% then the printer fails. It provides several different error codes. Is anyone else having this problem? Same files print fine on our FB 500. All equipment is...
  4. HP L26500 banding randomly

    Printer has been banding intermittently for the last day or two. After some trial & error and further analysis, it looks like I'm dropping nozzles as printing progresses. It initially seemed to be the Magenta (#5) ph, but it looks like I'm having problems with Y & K too (based on ph test...
  5. How many of you here are using Wasatch with L26500?

    Hi everyone! I was just wondering how many of you L26500 latex printer owners are using Wasatch RIP? And what is your policy on profiles - do you generate your own? I'm having trouble finding profiles for Wasatch and HP latex combinations. Greetings from Tallinn, Peeter
  6. Printing on Avery adhesive vinyl with the L26500 (MPI2120, 2122...)

    Hi all: I've had the HP L26500 since September and over all I've been very happy. I use to print to Avery products and have a fair amount in inventory. I'd like to use it up but have had issues printing to it. I use Onyx X10.1, have used the profile for the L26500 from Avery. The ink is very...
  7. HP Latex L25500 just shutting down around 80%-90% of print

    So I have had HP change out all hardware just about, and I have updated Flexi for ripping, and now no one has an answer. HP L25500 Latex shuts down around 80%-90% on files. I cannot find a specific pattern, it happens on vector artwork and raster files. It gives me a classic generic error code...
  8. Designjet L28500 Color Management Headaches

    Attempting to color manage our HP Designjet L28500. Not too many issues (aside from the amount of time finding the appropriate temperature values takes) on any materials other than double sided banner. I'm running 12 pass on Ultraflex DSS 12 and I'm finding that my ink densities have to be...
  9. HP Designjet Latex 42" L25500 Printer For Sale

    Two year old machine. Still has about one year of HP warranty left. In addition to everything that came with the machine, we have a 2" spindle. Some extra inks, print heads, maintenance cartridge, etc will be included. Buyer will need to provide or purchase RIP software to work this...
  10. Thickest photo-quality paper or cardstock

    Wondering if anyone out there knows of a really thick paper or cardstock that can run through the L25500. Like playing card thick, if possible, as the project is making some one-sided mockup playing cards for a prototype. 12pt+ cover/110#+ cover preferable. Doesn't need to be exactly the same...
  11. Mimaki Latex Printer

    Has anyone seen the new JV400LX printers or have any idea what they are going to cost? I really like the ability to print white on them.
  12. Latex Printable Chrome?

    Hi Everyone! Does anyone know of a latex printable chrome? I ordered the VinylEfx from R-Tape through Fellers because in the '12 catalog it listed latex as one of the printing methods. I've had no luck on the test prints I've tried, I did finally get a few samples off but the chrome had turned...
  13. Another Nightmare Latex Printer

    After reading the other thread with some of Prowraps & jkdbjj had with prints not being completely dry I crossed my fingers and hoped my HP wasn't listening. Luckily it wasn't bit of attention to the drying issue instead it's "drying" out my LM/LC head. By the way we're running out of Onxy 10 on...
