It works fine. We bought one that had two spray guns so as one aged or got dropped too many times we just popped in the second sprayer as a refresh. The only gripe is the electrical wiring to the spray gun is only 6ft or so which is a pain in the neck sometimes. We keep ours on a cart that we...

Here's the two PDFs I have on white. We design in Adobe Illustrator and print using Onyx so Flexi/Caldera will differ, but there's info in at least one of these that should help.

There's heaps of stuff and HP has a couple documents describing the process. It's been some time since I've ripped white/color through Caldera, but I certainly know the work flow with Onyx. I'll see if I can post the HP docs that give Caldera instruction.

We haven't had many problems with 2nd surface scratching or thinner substrate problems w/out edge holders on our R2000. We will get into mode settings and drop heat/air flow where needed. 1/8" mirror has been one of the hardest substrates for us to print in full sheets. We generally opt to...

Isn't this pretty close to R1000 money all said and done? I got heavy concessions on price for our R2000 so if I take similar dollars off R1000 list it doesn't seem that far off the R530.

Digitech was out of our price range too, but Patrick and company there were awesome to speak to. I was definitely impressed with their offering, it just wasn't in the cards for us at that time.

Axyz doesn't have anything that's a double crease wheel. I've been using third party Eco-cam wheels as they've got a full set of rounded wheels that seem to be more forgiving on the SBS. I wrote them to see if they've got anything, but it's not on the website so I doubt it with getting...

Going through the same thing with our R2000. Our drop detector needed replacement. We got a new one installed, but didn't shim it correctly so it took a little tweaking to get right. We still have issues with our overcoat levels during cleanings and the banding it's producing during anything...

Man I feel your pain. I bought a printer with bendable ink and the coatings on the paper will usually always crack, even with lamination on top for 180* turns. I've been told if you dial in your depths properly with the Colex you can have greater success, but on our AXYZ I've yet to make that...

I guess I'm hijacking, but I'm interested in info on the Apex machine line too. We have an AXYZ that's a much better router than knife cutter so we're looking for a dedicated knife based machine to cut and crease. Our AXYZ has a Tang knife so we're looking to add an oscillating cutter to this...

Is this the small format R2R printhead architecture? Looks like no cleaning station or intermediate tanks for ink delivery.

Is the fuzziness in the axis direction of the head sweep? If it is I'd say your head height was too high. If not an alignment should fix that. Anything in the X-axis sweep of the head being too high is likely misaligning because of the bidirectional printing not lining up from an improper...

Bob are you more concerned the Varnish will rewet the aqueous inks and make a mess?

We scant sizes under too, but we definitely relay that info to the customers in our quoting. If they have to be exactly to sheet ratio dims then we just upcharge for the waste in yield in fitting a lot less per sheet. That price difference is usually enough to have our clients say, we can live...
