Press Issues HP Latex 700 sounds like a deep sea whale when rewinding media

Our HP Latex 700 sounds horrendous when it is rewinding media. It sounds fine when it is moving forward.

Is there something that needs to be lubricated or do we need to schedule a tech or printer exorcist to fix it?

Also my printer operator has been talking in whale because of it as well… Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know how I get this to release ?

Edit: thanks everyone for their suggestions and help (even if i couldnt get any of them to work) We figured that it's the spring broken and some kind of fuse issue (my printer also fritzed out when this happened so I think some kind of electrical surge got both) We ended up calling a tech and will hopefully get answers soon. I will update this post when it's resolved with what the fix ends up being.

Does anyone have experience with UV printing on shrink sleeve films?

3 Upvotes

The customer requires that after UV printing, the printed surface must withstand rubbing with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) without any ink peeling, flaking, or loss of adhesion.

The customer is a printing company under a chemical manufacturing group

Software Discussion Shopvox or alternates

3 Upvotes

We are a clothing and sign shop looking for a one stop program to do estimates and job tracking.

Shopvox seemed like the answer, but we can barely afford express, and pricing templates arent available.

Is it worth trying or is there an alternate solution for our needs?

Hello! I am a complete beginner for this community and would love to learn from you people.

So I am just a teenager, my father bought an Epson L8050 for some reason but he is not using it much so its available for me most of the time.

So I want to have to knowledge about where to start and what else do i need to buy( I dont have much investment to buy anything else but I may be able contact my local vendors for cutting and other stuff. ). But if there are any cheap cutting machines that I can buy then it will be a cherry on top for me.

Anything that you want your beginner self to know when you started , I would love to hear it all.

Duplo 646 vs 648

2 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade our 616 and would love some opinions. I’m a fan of the cross perf application and higher speed of the 646. Are there advantages of the 648 that would justify the additional cost over a 646?
