When running wallcovering jobs on a HP Latex Printer, there may be variances in print length or color consistency from one tile to the next. One of the easiest ways to resolve this issue is to allow the RIP software to "flip every other tile". This will typically ensure color consistency between panels and may also help eliminate length discrepancies. Please note that there may be other variables involved that is preventing each panel from matching the next. Please review the following information provided by HP for tips and tricks on printing wallcoverings.

During the printing process, some substrates may shrink, while others may expand. If this happens, the dimensions of the print will not be correct. As a general rule, you can expect the following percentages of length variation:

    - Banner: less than 2%

    - Self-adhesive vinyl: less than 0.5%

    - Backlit: less than 0.5%

    - Paper: less than 0.5%

    - PP & PE synthestics: less than 1%
