You can use either max metal

Yeah, optimizer on everything. We typically run about 15% OP but sometimes up to 25%. Don't use adhesion promoter on anything! Thought you meant optimizer but it's apparently something different. We don't do a lot of glass printing and the acrylic and metal we've done has not needed adhesion...

Yep, as P wagner said you can do what they call "sandwich" mode, which can be color/white/color or color/white/black/white/color in 1 go. We've done a few double sided window prints like this. Pretty slow as we have to run at a 33 pass minimum but the option is nice to have!

We've replaced 4 or 5 print heads under warranty and 6 heads out of pocket after reaching 40-50,000 ml ink fired thru them. Heads are $530

Can you link to SMK1 or 2? I'm still not sure what this is.

Have not calculated print cost, not sure how we could do this since the ink usage is not very accurate. Most things we run at a 4 or 6 pass, and we charge $150/hr for machine time

HP Latex R Series Printhead Cleaning Kit GRIMCO.COM PRICE $368.42 https://www.grimco.com/Catalog/Products/HPLATEXRSERIESPRINTHEADCLEANINGKIT There's only 1 size I'm aware of. We use around 2 per month of these. Good thing is that if you're using them it means you're printing :)

Wife says it's black and white but I say it looks and smells like money ;)

Well I'll be damned. Air is used for breathing I suppose, among other things

Spot on squirrel! Just got in to work, it's 2am local. We opted into the beta for recent MR firmware and man we love it. That multi file select is clutch...... I'm really happy with the updates as they've been rolling out. When we first received, it was odd that it was missing some key...

Pretty much any of the latex ink will wipe away with ISO :\ We've actually cleaned sheets of ACP misprints this way

Yep the confidence in our equipment was worth the price tag by far

Well, last year we doubled our sales after picking up the R, so I'd have to say that's a hell yeah brother. Printer has already paid for itself considering cash in the bank, but we're still on a 5yr note making $1110/mo payments. Materials are much cheaper than the scitex and maintenance is WAY...

We tried for a while to avoid printing on the belt, but if you do a full bleed it will happen eventually. I have tried everything to clean the belt. To the point my shop smelled like something Walter White might cook in. Can't get it clean. Talked with a few techs about it when they've visited...

Largest ACP we run is 12x18 sheets. It's can be a pain, due to heat transferring up the sheet and causing flexing which leads to a crash sensor tripping. We can do five 12x18 sheets at a time in about 6 minutes (0.032) We've tried going after 4x8' jobs but our customers seem to like the small...

Another question about adhesive promoter. I think this is optimizer, yeah? If that's the case then yep have to use on everything. We don't do a ton of 4x8 sheets, since it's actually cheaper for us to buy bulk 24x18 coro from grimco (we do around 1100 at a time). But we did do one job and I was...

thank ya, matey!

Alright. Went over my head I guess.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking?

Hello everyone, Feeling a bit chatty lately while working night shifts to keep up with a large job. Wife's running day ops which leaves me alone with my vices and equipment. Anyway, as the title says we've had an R1000 in our shop since the first few months of US availability. We upgraded from...
