What are your impressions? What medias do you like/dislike on it?
Ultra Flex 15oz Supersmooth Blockout we got problem with this because Drying system too hot to make material not even when it done, so far we learn this and adjust the temperature from 90 to 70 make sure ink is dry, So far we like to run on 3M180c, Orajet 3165RA for daily job print and mount (great quality, we using to print with HPz6100), we will try with sublimation textile soon ( block-out textile).
What rips are you using? problems?
We using Wasatch rip driving with 4 printers, HP-L25500 could not connect with stand alone network card and fail couple time for power of mother board, Now we connect through local net so far no problem since.
Likes/Dislikes in general?
Like No smell solvent, fast print, replace print head (you don't pay for technician), i1 color built in for calibration for print head alignment, print on sublimation textiles (will try next), leather, Light box. So far ink not too bad for pricing 775ml cost around $139-159 ea. cartridge. NO WAITING FOR DRYING (laminate, trim and ship right way).
Dislike: Waiting for machine warm-up every print waste media (you had to rip ahead and print all same time, in Wasatch using layout add job together and print), Head strike if not advance media, unroll media if thick media with memory will get head strike when machine starting warm-up, you have to have 2 fire extinguisher require from HP (that's funny), cannot leave it run overnight like other printer, if get stuck will catch fire on some medias (our shop will run with Roland printer if need overnight print), will get hot in summer.
Anyway, This printer will help us win more jobs with high quality print, maintenance cost is low, I am sure HP will learn and improve their Firmware fine tune this print will be perfect. We looking for 2nd one when HP come out 2nd genration.
