Hi all,
Our shop has an old Mimaki JV3-160 that we've been using for about 10 years or so that is finally getting to be more trouble than it's worth. We're looking at getting a new printer, but the person that bought all our hardware before is gone an no one here is really an expert on printers.
We've heard that Roland is the brand to go with but I'd like to ask those of you that own them which ones you would recommend.
We're a small shop so we're hoping not to spend too much, but I also know you get what you pay for.
For specifics, we currently have a bulk ink system set up using Triangle Solvent Inks, and we only generally print onto rolls of Oracal and 3M vinyl, and Key Banner Material. We'd like to stick with a solvent printer as opposed to switching to a latex printer if possible.
My boss researched a bit and found this one: http://nusignsupply.com/store/roland-soljet-pro-iv-fx-640-64-large-format-printer.html
But I'm wondering what your opinions are.
