Does anyone have experience with the New Mimaki Flatbed?

[mmorse]

Hey guys we are getting rid of our Ion. In the market for a new printer, and we're entertaining the idea of another flatbed.

Does anyone have any experience with the new Mimaki fjx-1631?
After that last one we're going to really research this one, lol.

Thanks for any input,

Missy

We went to atlanta to demo the machine. It is real nice, but $150,000 - $170,000, way over priced for the speed it puts out. At that price you can get something like a vutek, that will produce 3 times as many sheets per hour. If it drops to around $120,000, I would look it at seriously. It would be a great printer for a mid level sign shop that produces $500,000 to a $1m a year.
