Looks like you have narrowed your decision down to the HP or the CET. Ricoh and Konica both make nice print heads. If you scroll back through the numerous posts at this site you will read lots of commentary regarding the two printers and whose is the best. I'm partial to hybrid printers...

FB700 is an excellent production UV printer. It is a hybrid model which simply means belt fed as opposed to flat table. Actually, if your work profile calls for printing various size flat stock, the hybrid is often a lot easier than a flat table. I would be glad to provide you references in...

Matt, The L28500 is an excellent printer. Review past comments at this site re: HP latex ink printers. End users are learning every day the convenience of printing with no smell water based inks as well as a near maintenance free printer. Printheads are user replaced (snap out old/snap in...

HP hopes you will purchase a new HP L26500 latex printer for around $17K and use the controller board for an end user rebate of $3K. :)

LOL...Try that with most any solvent ink printer and see what it will cost you. :)

Kev FB500 for $60K? If you don't buy it NOW, you are crazy dude! It might be the best solution for production flat stock printing at close to $100K. :)

Dave and Sue, HP current latex promo (Sep 01-30). 1. Buy an HP L26500 (61") and receive $3,000.00 cash back mail-in rebate from HP for the main controller board from an elgible 42" or wider aqueous printer or a 30" or wider solvent printer/printer-cutter. Find an authorized HP reseller...

HZone, Yes, Tim and Scott at HP Demo center. Anyone in cyberland who has an LX850 or even an LX600 should invest in visiting the HP demo center. The learning experience is worth the trip.

New Image, Due diligence...I strongly suggest you perform due diligence. I am somewhat surprised that no one has mentioned the success of the Triangle/INX Digital EDX Inks. Triangle is the largest and perhaps most reputable third party supplier of Eco Solvent/Mild Solvent and UV inks in...

Jason, Hybrid or Flatbed? If you plan to print a lots of different sizes, hybrid is much more productive. You want to print lots of 4x8's flat bed is easy. All three printers you referenced are excellent printers. Based on your "support" requirement and the fact you already have a...

BigFish, I have a client in North TX that I sold a Mimaki 602C. One of their applications requires them to print on clear polypropylene and pvc. We can precoat the product and laminate after, but we have not been able to find any "digital printed ink" that will be steadfast. I am looking to...

I am looking for a flatbed printer to print high resolution images on translucent polypropylene – 0.020” thick, and pvc – 0.10” thick. If it was hybrid to handle roll stock that would work too. We have tried printing on these products on a Mimaki UJF 605C but the ink wouldn’t adhere...

What is the general feedback regarding the use of white and metallic inks on the Roland VS540?

I do appreciate all the comments. It would appear that most signmakers concur that stand alone printer and standalone cutter is generally a better sloution than all in one print & cut machine; and, that the higher price tag is worth the difference. Over the past 30 years, I have sold many...

All valid comments! Question was meant to be generic in a sense. I personally prefer latex over mild-solvent...no smell, green ink, no outgassing. If die-cutting decals is part of your product portfolio then a standalone cutter is necessary. It can be 24" wide to 64" wide depending on how...

The standalone solution of L26500 and 54" Graphtec is solid. However, this solution must include a $2k to $3k PS RIP making it's price point $5K to $7K higher. Is this price difference worth it?

Methinks the HP tech misquoted.

These forums are quite helpful in giving folks ideas re: temp operation, number of print passes, etc. for different media. The L25500 take up is pretty much useless. The take-up will not put tension on the media. We have sourced a third party motorized take-up which we offer all our L25500...

Slamboni, I print to Orange Reflective Prismatic Florescent sheeting with L26500. I would love to share my thoughts. Bob Gruner bob@nusignsupply.com 713-806-0879 cell
