Need a HP 5500

[tcorn1965]

Looking to see if anyone knows where I can get a good price and fast delivery on a HP Designjet 5500UV Printer with the dye based ink kit. We currently use the Epson 9600, but want to upgrade one.This printer will be used to print positives on clear film to shoot screens for screen printing only. (Unless someone has a better recommendation)

Thanks in advance Signs 101 :U Rock:

Here's a new 5500uv on e-bay for $4,800 > > > http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HP-DesignJe...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5885e1af1e

I've got a 42" Designjet 5500uvps with its own 40 hard drive and rip.
Since I got a versacamm it hasn't got used much.
I put a new drive belt on it several months ago.
I was using pigmented inks. It's sat long enough that I'm sure it would
need new print heads and cartridges, so it could be switched over easy enough
to dye inks. I would take $3,500 with the take-up reel, or $2,500 without the take-up
reel. You would have to come get it if interested.

I have had a real hard time getting a good DMax density with the HP 5500UV inks for screen printing film, just a word of caution, you may want to try before you buy.

Thanks for the heads up!
