Need help choosing a printer...

We are ready for a new printer. The 2 we are considering are the Epson GS6000 and the HP Z6100. We would appreciate any feedback on either of these (pros and cons). Thanx.

The epson is solvent and the HP is aqueous. What do you plan to print?

Depends on what you plan to do. More info if you want a good answer.

If you plan on wrapping, neither.

So I guess the Epson is what we need. Any feedback on that?

There is also a Latex version of the HP coming out, cant remember the exact model number, but look into that - but you need to let us know what you are going to be doing with it first

I would not get the latex printer as a first printer. It's not proven technology yet.

We're going to be using it for outdoor banners and vehicle wraps.

I have used the HP L25500 and it is all it is touted to be. Although the image quality is not as good as the Epson GS6000 (larger drop size) (both printers should yield band free printing) the long term reliability outlook for the new HP is better. The user replaceable printheads, no solvent VOC, instant finishing after printing and extremely low cost of the inks give it an advantage over the Epson GS6000.
