Me too. I'm also considering this model Mutoh -- anyone else have one who can share some opinions on the machine? I'm also considering a Roland 1045, which is comparable and noticed that it's about 350 pounds heavier! Anyone with experience with either printer have any opinions to share?

I'm printing light solvent onto the Ultraflex material without any issues. I think the water based latex inks don't handle the oily residue very well. Again, the demo guys claimed it was a result of the manufacturing process -- not emulsifiers as I said earlier, but 'plasticizers' was the word...

No mottling on the prints? During my demo we sent two identical prints side by side, and one looked mottled, the other, not mottled. Maybe just quality issue from Ultraflex?

Ultraflex blockout issues with latex ink. Someone trying to sell me a HP L28500 (104" wide) demo'd it for me, tried printing on Ultraflex double-sided vinyl, and while the print was ok, there was mottling around the edge of the material. According to the guys demo-ing for me that's a result of...

Yeah, as I read more and more posts around here it seems that the consensus is that the HP latex printers are great. If you don't mind me asking (and if you don't feel comfortable answering, no worries) -- do you hem using a sewing machine, welding machine, or do you tape the edges? I notice...

Excessive heat? I don't know if it would or not -- why would it? The building is narrow, but we've got length, so I can fit the machine. We've got 220 lines run already for another machine, a Teleios system, so that's not a problem. Congratulations! Hope everyone treated you well and that you...

So you don't let the prints air out at all? What kind of processing are you performing? Laminating and then cutting? Or are you making banners?

That's what I've heard, that the smell if pretty bad. I have an exhaust vent with a fan (4' across) -- would that be sufficient, or do I need a special setup? I will be running a laminator/mounter and a dyesub heat press in the same room. Would the ColorPainter throw out enough dust to interfere...

How can it outgas from a wound roll? Do you loosen the winding at all? It wasn't until I found this forum that I really even heard the term 'outgassing'. I always thought of it as 'curing' -- that the solvent ink needed time to chemically fix itself into the substrate.

I'm the production manager for a shop in Manhattan and I'm trying to get some feedback on these two printers. We're in a very small space (about 20' wide, a brownstone) so I have to make the best use of my space. My biggest concern is outgassing. I run two Roland SJ-740s using mild solvent...
