  1. Would like to move from screen printing to a flatbed printer

    Stay away from the Rastek EFI, they left the Rastek off the name on purpose as these machines have a terrible field record. I have zero experience with the Oce but I don't believe it has roll 2 roll. I do have the FB950 which uses same the same ink as the FB500 and it's not that much more...
  2. edge quality on Latex 360

    I'm curious after your first post till now if you are seeing improvements?
  3. Stick With Roland or Go HP Waterbase?

    There is no comparison between the Latex 200 series and the Latex 300 series. The statements made in this thread are true and very believable from the positive to the negative comments. However the negative comments made generalizing latex seem to be only true towards the 200 series and not...

  5. HP Scitex FB500 FB700 third party ink

    3rd party Pinto Why isn't there a company in the US that offers 3rd parts inks into ColorSpan/HP world? Its always overseas, your not getting more of us to bite based on a quick message board blurb saying "it works" You should get a manufacturing plant here in the US, open up a dealer...
  6. Thoughts on Hybrid printers

    Roland Tech Rep "I reached out to my local dealer who services my Roland to get his take and in a round about way was told hybrids are junk. The quality isn't there that the inks flake off and it is mostly for indoor pop short term type signs." My take: Ink flaking has nothing to do with a...
  7. Hp l360

    I thought the Letter of intent got it down to 17,995.00 At least that is what i am being told. LOI = 1,000.00 had to sign at the ISA Show. New Ship date I have been told is 5-12-14, and that is to distribution not to endusers. Actually arrive date I have been quoted is around May 20th.
  8. Rastek. Seriously???

    It's not a good sign when EFI/Vutek are doing whatever they can to separate themselves from the Rastek name.
  9. Jets out on HP/FB700

    Buy new heads, I purchased one of these ultra sonic cleaners, from my experience they do an ok job, not great or even good.
  10. Need some info on the HP 26500.

    Should be ok. Its a water based Latex ink, no solvents.
  11. FB500 registration bar

    Who did your install We print with our FB950 without using the roll 2 roll all the time. Are you running it as a sheet or a roll? Rolls should be run through the center of the printer and not flush left.
  12. Hp colorspan 98uvx

    The problem is only one person in the entire world supposedly figured out how to beat the chips. He goes by the name of Wunder and isn't located in the US. So after you figure out all of your issues with packing and getting the printer to actually run. Wholla you don't have any ink vendors as...
  13. HP Scitex FB500, FB700 third party ink possibility

    Who is going to service my printer if I develop ink issues? Do you cover print head replacement? Is my service coming out of Bonyhad, where ever that is?
  14. Fast and Reliable printers!

    I was invited to a North Light Color Demo day's 2 weeks ago in their Chicago Location, so they have one. Looking forward myself to seeing this at SGIA next week.
  15. Rastek H652 UV Flatbed.....thoughts???

    Vutek doesn't want to hear the name Rastek again, they are slowly phasing the Rastek line out because of the bad rep it has. Something new like EFI worldwide printers will soon be replacing Rastek. If you like the roll option type Hybrid flatbed look into the FB500 from HP. Reliable and for...
  16. colorspan displaymaker esprit 52

    Scrap it for metal. Inks were discontinued years ago.
  17. HP Discontinuing Colorspan Ink - Is there a third party alternative?

    There is a guy on this board from Germany who claims to have a fix. Named Wunder. The way I look at it is companies haven't beaten the chips since the early days of ColorSpan why would someone all the sudden come out now. Fact is more and more companies are kicking these units to the curb...
  18. EFI Vutek QS2000 or HP FB500

    I don't have the speed specs in front of me. But I don't beleive the Vutek is going to be too much faster. If you are looking for any type of quality you will have to use light or heavy smoothing which in turns slows the vutek down quite a bit.
  19. Strange Problem with Colorspan 72UVR, please HELP!

    Dont waste too much time the ink is discontinued anyway
