Calling it a day after many years in the graphics. I am looking to sell my poster equipment. HP latex 335 -(less than 2yrs old low mileage) Seal 400 laminator, Fletcher 3000 trimmer, compressor, Flexi software, etc. All equipment presently running. Looking for $5,500 or b/o for the whole...

Sorry, man! Didn't mean to put words in your mouth! I just see the frustration of some folks here who are trying to keep an older machine running and experiencing problems getting parts, consumables etc. Add to that, those who are not very mechanically inclined, it can be a real issue for the...

I'm in the Boston area. I have a nearly 2 yr old 335. I am getting out of the business in December. It's low mileage (on 5th set of inks) if interested. I agree with diy above, HP just stops support after a certain period, makes it tough for us low production types. Good luck which ever...

Welcome to the group! I have found people here very helpful and friendly! One fellow walked me through a problem with my new RIP awhile back with insight and humor! I am getting out of the business at 73 yrs old, I'm ready! Not sure what your equipment needs are, but I have a poster business...

Where are you located? Might have a HP 335 for sale in the near future...

My opinion, they just aren't built to last long. Had one, ran fine for about 7 yrs then problems arose. Much like an old car, only HP doesn't provide parts and consumables for them! Throwing money at it is a best a short term solution. I replaced mine with a HP 335 new; cost around 12K Been...

I agree with "T" above, beating a dead, well you know the rest. I had an L26500 and the belt broke, couldn't get consumables, etc. a new HP 335 runs about $12,000.

Have the same issue with my HP335. I was told by a HP tech rep to use the take up reel. It uses too much paper when doing one or two prints at a time. He also recommended getting a couple of spring clamps, and add 8 oz weights to them, to put in the middle of the roll where the problems...

I have worked with them and my experience has been that, while their niche is sales and the good have sucess; their investment is much smaller than a print provider. That really was my point. I am keeping my nose clean going forward so I don't come back as anything in the biz!!! lol

I had pretty good luck with STS Inks when I was still running my 260. It is the printheads and printhead cleaning kit that are hard to come up with. I agree with the comment from 'G' above, time to move on. A new 335 is only around 12K. If you don't do enough work to support the idea of...

I bought a HP 335 and it seems to do the job, although I have a lower volume shop. I couldn't get anything for my older HP L25500/L260 other than selling some of the consumables. HP stopped supporting them, making it a pain to get supplies/parts. The newer latex machines are also a lower...

I have a L260 that needs a new heat unit $2700! Not worth the money to fix it, in my opinion. I would push it out on the sidewalk in hopes that some junk collector would snag if it wasn't so heavy. I think it's terrible that the HP just discontinues supporting a machine after a relatively...

I went with STS inks on my old HP25500 and they ran well for me. (Still trying to sell it for parts, back-up or whatever. needs a new drive belt) I have a low volume shop, however, so maybe it was partially luck? Had a couple of cartridges that the machine said they were empty when they still...

yes. There was some very weird stuff going on to say the least!

YUP! It's not as common as one would like! thanks again

Thanks for all these tips! Along with the tech from Flexi, I think I am back in business! Thanks again.

I am having trouble with my FlexiPrint HP Basic Edition 21. In the middle of ripping a large file (650mgs) , it hung up and got the "not responding" message. I quit out of it, restarted my computer, but Flexi won't come all the way back up to functioning. (the right had side of the display is...

LOL! I am in Boston, Ma. USA. Good luck with your adventures!

I too have a HP L25500 that needs a new drive belt. Other than that, the cutter doesn't seem to want to work, (shut it off! and cut by hand!) The parts are cheap (around $200 or less?) I am not handy with repairs, so I bought a new printer. Any interest out there? I am in the Boston area...

I have a L260 (presently not working - needs a heat assembly unit). You can still get printheads for it on ebay. I tired the knockoff print heads but had awful luck with them. I was using STS inks as a replacement for HP's, and they worked fine for me. Seems that there is a limited time...
