Marty, It looks to me like you need to give a shoutout to Aaron as well?

Kev, Your HP ink costs are very reasonable. Whoever is selling them to you is making a small, but reasonable margin on both latex and UV. There are many folks paying considerably more for the same products.

HP L26500 775ml ink cartridge for $125.00 each is very common. When asked to calculate ink cost, we typically include the cost to replace disposable print heads as well. We calculate ink and head replacement to be about $0.28 per square foot printed (all colors at 100% saturation). It is...

daenterpri, I don't get it? Authorized HP L2 resellers are required to install the printers. End users should never sign off on installation without making the reseller print a file to your satisfaction. If he/she can't print on your media, then make him print your file on whatever media he...

Artbot I've enjoyed reading your posts for some time. I like your hands on approach. Do you get the opportunity to travel to ISA or SGIA to review the latest and greatest in wideformat digital printing? If so, what are your thoughts re: the Mimaki JFX500-2131? What I saw was a flatbed in...

It's nice to know that HP monitors this site. Every now and then you'll see a post from one of the HP Sales and Marketing folks. Appears they are keeping a low profile here. Let's see now...in response to thread title, "Do not use kas or sam-ink, they are all suck" Don't know; but...

Did you find help? Who sold it to you? They must have given you support. HP can quote you direct or they can lead you to an authorized service center in your area. Bob Gruner bob@nusignsupply.com

Mel, Where is your reseller during all these issues?

$12.5K and two sets of ink? You sure that's not the price for JV33-160? Some resellers took a deal from Mimaki prior to ISA on JV33-160 and CJV30-160. End users can still get new, in the box CJV30-160 including install and training for $14.5K. Bob Gruner bob@busignsupply.com

GnG Josh noted: <<The Blockout LTX is a bit pricey compared to what we were previously running.>> When you say a "bit pricey", How many cents per sq ft more are you talking about? If the product orks and looks good, can you raise your prices? or sacrifice your margin? Thanks in advance

Mimaki offered the DEAL to several of their resellers prior to ISA last month. Grimco set the bar for end user price on JV33 and CJV30 64" wide printers. Nusign Supply matched as did a couple other large Mimaki resellers. You gotta believe Mimaki is phasing our Epson head printers as quickly...

I know a few folks running white mild solvent ink on Mimaki? I believe Mimaki can be a player in the latex ink market with the Ricoh heads, HP doing quite well with L26500. Pro's and Con's both. Be glad to discuss both any time. Bob Gruner bob@nusignsupply.com

gfx, You correctly took the first step attending ISA. There certainly were a lot of UV flatbeds on the show floor. The HP FB500 is a super printer and is priced right. I think the roll to roll option for $10K is perhaps a bit steep, when for $14K you could purchase a L26500 61" roll to...

Hog Wild, What RIP? What banner? Bob Gruner NusignSupply TX

There's always a better mousetrap! Mimaki, Roland, and Mutoh saw the handwriting on the wall the day Epson began shipping 60" wide mild solvent ink printers. Epson agreed to continue shipping old print head technology to Mimaki, Roland, and Mutoh; but, saved their new print head technology...

Signspot...rarely used FB500 with roll to roll, extension tables, shipping and installation for $55K total is a DEAL. Enjoy the printer and make some bucks! :) I would suggest that you source your local HP/Scitex authorized sales and service organization and ask them to quote you their parts...

Colorado...A new FB500 with Roll to roll option and extension tables has an MSRP of $107K. Please let me know where you can purchase one for $79K? That price is lower than authorized reseller price? I know there are some discounters who might sell a new FB500 without any ink or options for...

Gary, You are gathering information, performing due diligence. When you go to purchase a new car, the seller generally let's you test drive it. Too bad you can't test drive printers. :) I guess the next best thing is to go see them print. Ask the same questions you ask here. Why does a...

Kingorko Mimaki UJF 3042 and Roland are too expensive, and limited size ... ????? You get what you pay for. The Mimaki UJF-3042FHG sells (11.8" x 16.5" bed) for $35K+. The new Mimaki UJF-6042 (16.5"x24" bed) will sell for $50K+. Both of these printers are very high quality and generate...

Hello...he left a phone number too. Anyone try calling? :) 801-483-9465 x154
