Yeah....I just don't like all their little rules and policies. I have half a mind to go with an epson or mimaki next. I don't feel like HP supports their product properly in general. The epson's are pretty impressive.

Several salesmen and it falls in line with their product cycle. I believe something will be released in the coming year.

So what are all you wrappers doing with tailgates that have fancy plastic badging on it like the Ford platinum, RAMs with the giant tailgate lettering. Are you wrapping over this? If its paint matched its not really an issue, but some of the ford offerings are a plastic contrast to the body...

Years ago when all I did was cut lettering and desigs and even now with printed graphics I always used the lines of the vehicle, and used lay lines with a dry erase marker and tape measure measured from moldings and body lines. Most trucks/vechicles in general don't sit level due to loading and...

Hey yeah, I saw there was aftermarket ones from a few sources but do you know the dimensions of the stock summa ones in order to match them up? As far as lubing I looked through the manual several times in the maintenance section and no mention of lubrication so apparently it doesn't need it.

Well and again the colorado is pretty much a full on production machine in its speed and quality combination style of printing which I don't need yet. My biggest concern right now is that I need to possibly upgrade within the next six months to a bigger/faster machine but I have also heard that...

I was running a Ce6000 up until about 3 months ago and it was great. I am was contemplating getting a new Graphtec 9000 within the next year or so to replace my D120 but Flexi19 doesn't support it, at least not yet. I'll most likely get a Summa T2 to go with my other summa T. Graphtec and summa...

Delete this please. My mistake. I'm learning.

I have heard nothing but great things about the Colorado series but wow, totally outside of my current price range for the near future by about $50k. Maybe someday.

Why's it on her butt

Ive been very lucky that I haven't had a major issue like that yet. One of the reasons I bought another cutter just in case my primary goes down. I'd even have enough work for three but I'm just gonna hold my horses for a while and buy a new summa to replace my old s class. 9 years is a good...

Oh wow, really? I was talking to a local fellow that has a giant sign shop and he was saying how much he loves his UV printers. But to be honest, if the latex keeps performing well for me maybe I won't make the change. I've had good luck so far. Appreciate the experienced information.

I hope to need a printer that size someday. Good to hear its working well. I think once I get a larger foothold in my local market I'd like to make the move to UV or whatever technology is working best within the next five years. Nothing wrong with latex at all, I just recognize the limitations...

Thanks for the reply! I have problem with overthinking this stuff, I'll admit it. Its the homespun mechanic/engineer in me. I like to take care of my stuff :). But I agree, I think just basic maintenance and cleaning should be the ticket. My SummaD is coming up on replacement within a year or...

Impressive to say the least. Several years ago when I was weighing the pros and cons of cutters I just couldn't help to come to the fact that summas really just didn't have any discernible negatives to speak of. Top of the market as far as technology and operation. My Summa D I bought new and...

So I've been curious for several years.... Wouldn't some of the rotational areas on a cutter have to be lubricated at some point? And what about the drive belt for the cutting head? That belt reminds me alot of a motorcycle belt and other equipment belts. For how fast that thing moves and...

Awesome post. I was looking for something like that when I started the thread since I was curious.

I almost had a mini stroke when I saw what the mimaki latex machines were going for. That being said I'd love to have a UV machine but I can't justify that price just yet with my tiny biz.

I have had good luck with my HP but believe me, it wasn't my first choice. I wanted an Epson or Canon solvent big time but the price always pushed me away as well as dealing with the maintenance issues and upkeep. I also like mimaki offerings and was very close to getting a CJV150-160 but again...
