  1. CMYKEngineering and Third Party Inks?

    Has anyone used CMYKEngineering for third party ink, purchased a machine from them (printer), and how has it gone? I'm currently running multiple CET printers but the support is lacking, wondering if they would be able to handle the support (for example - the belt keeps walking on the printer...
  2. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    What network infrastructure are you using to get 10gigabit LAN? We use Unifi at our shop but most of the network transfer is still very slow even though they advertise 10gigabit LAN capabilites, mainly because our computer network cards don't support that speed...
  3. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    I hope so, we will see. I suspect that we are also processing files at different screening/resolutions than what you run your Colorado at. I will report back the speed changes of the NEW RIP and ripping it locally (to a SSD on the same PC vs. across the network).
  4. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    Wow, yes I have 12 RIPs distributed across several workstations and printers, each of our CET printers have two RIPs. With our current i9 NUC PCs we use for RIPPING (also going across our network) the 6x50 banner we ripped last week took a little over an hour, and we printed 5 different 10x20...
  5. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    Hello All, As I had mentioned in my OP, I am working with a person to build a custom PC for our needs (we will build 1 first and test to see if it works. If it does, I will build a second PC). As mentioned in the OP I want to use the PC to control a Handtop/CEzt/Fluid Color Hybrid printer with...
  6. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    We will be using the PC to run a RIP (Onyx Thrive) along with the CET controller software. This will allow us to RIP files faster. In our experience the RIP and processing files actually take up significant resources. For example we printed 48 banners this week on the two printers that were 50...
  7. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    I like windows 11 better than 10, but unfortunately I have been told the controller software for the CET printers doesn't work yet with Windows 11... My network/it company doesn't want Windows 7 PCs on the network as they don't have some security stuff I am told makes us vulnerable.
  8. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    Hi Netsol - Not sure I understand your post, can you help me out a little bit? 1) What would it mean if they were 'making use of hyperv support'? I did a quick google and it looks like that came with Windows v 8 as the first/initial version Windows version with support, if that is the case...
  9. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    Digitech makes a great machine and we looked at it for rigid, but these are hybrids and print mainly roll to roll. Also, we print mainly fine art canvas and found that our art broker customers are very picky, without lclm they were unhappy with the printer quality (even with the smaller...
  10. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    It's weird, they make it seem like it has to be an older set, but I think I'll just risk it and go with a newer chipset and hope it works! Thanks!
  11. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    I think and hope you are correct, I do know that we need a motherboard must have PCIex1 (small slot) to interface with the fiberoptic and PCIe ribbon cable for the printers, but besides that I would be surprised that a newer chipset wouldn't work with the printer/controller software. I will...
  12. Chipset and CPU for CET/Fluid Color/Handtop Printers?

    Hello All - I'm the owner of two CET hybrid printers (I've owned one machine since 2016 and the second I purchased used and is a 2018 vintage. I've recently had a large increase in demand for these machines (running around 20 hours a day now - three shifts), and I've decided I want to upgrade...
  13. Question How to get a better profile? Epson s80600, Onyx Thrive 19 and Xrite i1 Profiler

    Same here, we would love to get access to the IDF chart generator as we often find third party medias can have a higher IDF than 100% - for example we print a lot of canvas and use Fredrix and Breathing Color canvas and can push the IDF to 140 % and still see increasing chrome values, but we...
