Colorwave, not sure what happened to the head, but when I hold the head, ink will pool at the bottom and I can keep blotting the ink and it still leaks. Weird! I am using an adhesive vinyl from a local sign supplier and I beliieve it's from China, prints great considering a coated matte finish. I am going to order HP everyday adhesive polypropylene, great price, too see how that compares to vinyl. Basically, vinyl, polypropylene and occationally photo satin paper is all I print on and I pretty much laminate everything.
