Yes any rep at either company will tell you it's true

Not a bad bet! I also know they are trying to buy up manufacturers like they did aluminum ,acm, and styrene. My thought is they buy gf next as they already make a lot of the briteline line of things.

Hp doesn't sell direct on 90-95percent of their latex line, they are actually pulling away from that segment for direct sales . With them relying solely on resellers to sell the latex printers.

Whos the next privately owned supplier Grimco buys up. Will this help drop prices or increase as they are gobbling everyone up? Does this mean the hp conundrum is over? Where they can tell you how many flatbed competitors you can sell. As grimco is now too big for hp to hold any pressure...

Who uses one of the 2 or has tried both? Looking to find real world experience with either prepress automation. What bottle necks did it help elevate vs what the sales guy says it will.

So leaps and bounds better then the 1650? Or are they using the same print heads?

What is the Picoliter size? Are they coming close to clarity of eco solvent or still in the ballpark of latex clarity?

Not impressed with the Canon all the hype of printing 1000+ sqft an hour and the Canon tech himself can't keep it dialed in to run that fast. Your going to get about 350 to 400sqft printing speed on banner and slower on other materials. Having 2 800 or adding a epson 80600l is what I would...

Does any one have experience with both mid level flat bed cutters? Which do you think is better with customer suport and has cleaner routing capabilities. I hear the colex is up incoming and the iECHO is a reverse engineered zund.
