tomence, Which part was BAD advice? Ask your reseller to provide you with L260 (without take-up)? or Purchase a MOTORIZED third party take-up (for under $500) that maintains TENSION quite adequately on many L25000's which had a real cheesy OEM take-up? Don't be too quick to assume that all...

LOL...just tell your reseller to send you an L260 WITHOUT the auto-roll take-up which is always packed separately anyway. Later, when L210 available again, the reseller can order one and package it with his spare take-up and he now has a L260. Most of my clients print to the floor with their...

Vinyl Cutters peeked 10 years ago. The typical sign shop went from cutting adhesive backed vinyl for making banners to digitally printing those banners. The typical sign shop's vinyl cutter has been relegated to die-cutting decals. That said, at the peek, the Summa Tangential Knife vinyl...

My best advice :) Every authorized HP Latex L210, L260, L280 Reseller (including Advantage) is required by HP to perform INSTALLATION and TRAINING. An end user who purchases one of these printers and then proceeds to uncrate and set up said printer is risking opening Pandora's Box. If...

I wish some of the LX850 end users who post here would comment. I resell the product, so I must be biased? We have many (yes, many:)) LX850 and LX600 customers who rely heavily upon their latex printer for "fleet graphics", and very few complaints. I would like to think HP is doing...

Enis, Sorry to hear your trials and tribulations with the LX850? We have many clients running that printer with no serious problems. That said, what is your specific application? Do you really want to go back to mild solvent? Smell? Cleaning? Speed would seem to be important to you ere...

Nate, My Bad...The L25500 take-up was motorized; however, there was NO tension on media. A lot of our customers needed the tension to hold certain thin substrates including most fabrics flat on the platten. The L26500 take-up is much nicer and it does put tension on media. Good Printing and...

Ditchmeister, The L260 includes 61" printer with a take-up assy. The printer comes in one box and the take-up assy comes in another box. The L210 is 61" printer only. The take-up assy is priced as an "option". Generally, if an enduser orders a L210 with the take-up option, they pay about...

Some HP/Scitex Resellers in the US apparently aren't interested in making money selling HP printers?

BINGO! Under $15Kish for latex printer with auto take-up! End user will need PS RIP and printer requires two dedicated 220V/10amp lines. HP (and Epson) has MRP (MimimumRetail Price) less whatever additional promo/special the printer manufacturer allows authorized reseller to offer at the...

Onyx PosterShop has used the JAWS RIP engine. Onyx Thrive is based on Adobe Technologies. I would imagine most canned color profiles were generated from Onyx ver 11 of less. The new Adobe based Thrive will require it's own color profiling.

Plopez, Every mfg will argue that their OEM inks have been formulated for best performance on their printers. In addition, every mfg will price their OEM ink to exact high margins. Triangle (INX) manufactures third party ink to equal and/or perform better in some cases than OEM ink. You will...

Both HP/Scitex and Mimaki make good printers. Do you have a specific application in mind? For high production, cut sheets, you will find the FB series probably best suited. Mimaki has done quite well with their small tabletop UV flatbeds; however, they have not faired as well as HP for large...

Post Script RIPs have certainly evolved over the past 10-15 years; but, then, so has wide format digital printing. RIPs are so important to printers who pride themselves on their ability to provide their customers highest quality color images. Onyx and Caldera are both excellent choices, so...

KevSign Re: NorthLight's Trade in fou UVR I'll wager a dollar against a doughnut there isn't an authorized HP/Scitex FB reseller in the country who wouldn't match NorthLight's discount withOUT the trade-in. :)

JD, You are positioning yourself to invest $125K - $200K on a UV flatbed printer. I would incourage you to ask as many questions as you can. What size graphics and type of media will be the bulk of your business plan? If your answer is various cut sheet sizes then I would lean towards a...

Happy Aaron! It would appear that Dave has reeled him in. Poor Lowen! Too much blood spilt? The sharks are circling. :(

Perhaps both parties have agreed to a private resolution that does not include public disclosure? :)

Houston newbie Have you made a decision? Lots of good posts. Lots of good choices. Your HP9000 was a good mild solvent ink printer. It was an OEM printer from Seiko; and, was shipped by HP for a couple years prior to launching their Latex Ink line. My advice is perform due diligence. You...

I find it hard to believe that the CEO and part owner of a high tech printer company would post his comments to a disgruntled customer on a public forum? Maybe a PR or Marketing Mgr, but not the CEO? I believe my proposal would include an agreement between both parties that there would be no...
