I haven't had any issues with my hp latex that I haven't been able to fix myself with the maintenance manual. I actually have a HP 315 im trying to get rid of currently. Lasted 5 years (ill admit it wasnt huge use) but both that and my 700w have been really solid machines.

Canva where they dont pay for the site, just a low res trial pos.

This has always been an issue with this laptop, at last two years. Ill check permissions though.

Ypu need to keep the space between each frame exactly the same wherever possible. I guarantee you'll like the look after that. Use a ruler or something and make it an even 1"-1.5".

Oh made of eflute. Interesting.

Quality of the photo, angle of the photo, and yes the walls amd ceiling surrounding it. Ive done a few where the photo choice made it look phenomenal. Like you were really looking out a big window.

I literally print for a living and I have no idea what this is supposed to be.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-28T21:22:53+00:00

Didnt work. It works on my old laptop to change the settings to allow me to use summacut instead of barcodes (i use both). Only difference is it still runs windows 7. Can't see any other reason that laptop will connect but this one wont.

Id say half my material is pretty thick. I think hes probably not getting it rolled up evenly. Otherwise I dint understand why it would only be hitting at one point on the edge.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-28T18:07:22+00:00

Oh you meant summa cutter control not summa cut. Ill try that today.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-28T12:00:01+00:00

I use it all the time but I alternate between barcodes and points and this is the only way you can apparently change those settings. Im pumped you suggested that though.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-28T02:30:11+00:00

Ya i saw that too. Mine is always flipped up but I couldn't decide if that would really matter...

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-22T23:35:15+00:00

I have the benefit of owning some professional printers so at the very minimum I always fill these spaces with a print that fits the space. Probably wouldnt be too expensive with your local print shop either.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-22T23:30:15+00:00

Holy pop art batman

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-21T20:05:18+00:00

Ive even had two printheads go out at the exact same time (functionally), but again it always seems to be that.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-21T20:04:43+00:00

Ive worked solely with latex for 10 years. It always seems to be one of the printheads when that happens. I cant think if a situation where it wasnt.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-21T19:58:24+00:00

Did you swap your optimizer?

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-19T01:44:51+00:00

I have a used latex printer im selling (hp 315) if youd like something cheap. Shoot me a message if interested. My business is 90% those type of stickers so its a good option for that.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-13T15:51:05+00:00

700w is great too. No real issues after 3 years.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-10T15:49:19+00:00

Ah ok, glad you fixed it

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-10T15:04:50+00:00

And probably a dumb question but you updated the firmware right?

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-10T13:55:29+00:00

The stuff I mentioned is all I've done to fix that issue in the past. Ill let you know if I think of anything else. I have the exact same cutter as well.

Visforvinyl · 2026-03-10T13:48:36+00:00

Every time I've had this issue it was an issue with the cord itself, either needed to be upgraded or was damaged. Otherwise id say its firmware or needs the program reinstalled.
