HP Latex 365 - Printing Issues

[balstestrat]

Well I was curious if they performed any better when printing large solid neutral colored panels. But at the end of the day the technology is still the same and it sounds like the issues would still be there.
Which model do you have? We are running with three 360s and one 560. Our 560 has always been a lot slower than the nearly 10 year old 360s and we have never figured out why because its supposed to be faster. Do you have experience using the 300/500 series?

It's not exactly the same. The new printheads are definitely better and last longer but yes the idea is the same.

Question is.. How is it slower? Shouldn't be that difficult to figure out why.

I have the 700W. Before that I had the 12500 and then for about 10 years ran the 360. We didn't run much tiled panels but Ink starvation was a problem with the 360 for some jobs. We just had to recognize when it might be a problem and set the print mode and interpass delay to minimize it.

This may be my problem as well. I have an HP Latex 315 that is showing vertical lines on the prints randomly. I have replaced several of the printheads and the ones that are not brand new have less than 1500mL used on them. Done all the cleaning options in the setup, checked and cleaned the platen, substrate advancements, etc. So its possibly the trailing cable?

when you say, less than 1500 ml used, is that 1499ml?, I was told by a tech that the print heads should be replaced when they reach 1200ml......

Does he also sell you the printheads?

5000ml is fine. Might have to replace some earlier... Some later.
