I posted a post similar to this post in the Mimaki forum inquiring about the JV150. If there are any Epson S60600 or S80600 owners/dealers that could help answer my questions about these two Epson machines, it would be greatly appreciated!
I'm looking to get my first digital printer (I will also be purchasing a laminator and cutter, as I currently have neither of these). My budget is $40,000 - $50,000, I will be creating decals, wraps, basic signage, POP, photo prints, and wall coverings. I'm currently researching Mimaki, Epson, and HP. Below are my questions about the S60600 and S80600.
1) Who is a good, reputable seller of Epson that will do a great job setting up and installing the S60600/S80600, and who also has excellent after-the-sale customer service if something goes wrong? I currently reside in Virginia, near North Carolina and Tennesse
2) What is required for basic, routine maintenance of the S60600/S80600 and any associated maintenance costs? In specific, how often and how much time will it take per week to maintain the S60600/S80600? Also, how much ink will regularly be wasted for maintenance, and what other consumables are involved in the maintenance of the S60600/S80600? Please keep in mind that I'm new to this business, so it's quite likely that initially the machine won't be used but a few days a week until I build up my book.
3) What is the cost of ink per sq. ft using this machine? Or, how many ml of ink is used by the S60600/S80600 to print on 1 sq. ft. of SAV?
4) I will need the S60600/S80600 to sometimes print bright/neon-like colors. Will the S80600 give me any advantage over the S60600 in accomplishing this? I have a very basic knowledge of ICC profiles, as I've done photography work in the past and regularly calibrated my monitor with an i1 device. I know it will be different creating profiles for an output device such as a printer. Any advice for equipment for creating custom profiles for achieving these types of bright/neon-like colors would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
