I can't get my 360 to print on HP Poster paper without buckling the paper just enough to scrape the paper and ruin the print. I have used a custom profile and also just about every canned profile from HP that was preloaded in Caldera. Any ideas to help remedy this?
We've struggled with the same thing. Jack up the vacuum pressure. Default is probably 35.... bring it up to 75 or more. We'll put a couple clamps on the leading edge of the paper until it gets down to the take up reel... then baby sit it until we can slide the weight bar in. After the weight bar is in you're usually good to go. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!
we have jams with our paper, banner, and two different print vinyls too!! have to baby sit every job!
Myron...You really don't like your Latex do you? I would like to propose some ideas that would probably keep you from having to "Babysit all your jobs"
First, you might consider buying your paper and vinyl from the BigFish...He resells Latex printers, so I bet his media works just fine!
Second, and probably best is attend HP Latex Acadamy in Atlanta, GA in November. Won't cost you and what you learn will give you new perspective.
Myron,
Good printer manufacturers like HP do pay attention to end user feedback! That is exactly why the new 500 series Latex ink printers have a redesigned loading system that is so much superior to the 300 series loading system...
I can fix those issues if your sick of dealing with that solution. Try my latex poster gloss and be happy about printing paper again!
We have an L25500 and a 360. We couldn't find a poster paper that would run in both printers well. (One paper worked in one printer but not the other and vice versa.) They pointed us to HP Premium Poster Paper. Prints well in both our printers and our UV printer if need be. We get it from Grimco but after their 'awesome' site redo recently it has disappeared from their site so I have to call or email and order it and it usually ships from HP, so we keep a couple on the shelf. Lexjet carries it as well. Here's a link. http://www.lexjet.com/p-6251-hp-premium-poster-paper.aspx
Also, I'd bet that what Big Ol' Fish up there has would probably work as well. He knows his latex.
You ever get any of those samples in? Still haven't gotten it yet.
