Joining the Oce Arizona Club

We have a 460GT and switched to Printfactory from Onyx. Way easier to build profiles and maintain color. I'd also suggest Lipla Inks from CMYK Engineering. It gave our heads new life and covers fingerprints and sheet blemishes unbelievably.

Did you guys switch from 256 inkset to Lipla inks by any chance? Fingerprints and fragility of this inkset is insane. I don't even try to print on most substrates because of it. No amount of prepping will result in acceptable print quality on some materials. Fresh coroplast straight from a skid is generally fine, but anything else is risky.

Shopping the used marketplace for dongles, figure it might be easier. Might also just set up a profile for RIIN and go full on Chinese RIP.

Let me check what the status of our dongle/onyx is. I know our Arizona 318gl came with "Oce edition" onyx thrive. We've since updated to newer versions and added seats etc but maybe we have the original somewhere? I'll check. Can't remember if original dongle gets updated or if we actually got a new physical one w/ upgrades.

Yup, got the printer through the CMYK Engineering guys. Using their inkset at the moment and been really happy with it. We do have colorimeters, so can make profiles as we go too. But, had decent luck with stock profiles as well. From what I have read, the dongle can get updated as it's cheaper than outright getting a new edition.
