OEM latex ink

[jens]

L25500 and xl600

Does anybody got those machines running with OEM inks ?
sam ink can provide ink systems an ink.
We are going to give it a try... keep you posted.

Very Informative, thanks

Sam Ink has been very dissapointing, they must have horrible service if it takes over 2 weeks for someone to get back to you like it has with me. I was excited when I heard about their latex inks but like I said no one will call me back so I am anti SAM INK!! Whats going to happen when your machine goes down and no one will help you?

we did run 3hp 5500 and 2 hp 5000 on dye and pigment ink for 4 years. never had a problem... But someone you already printed with his latex ink ? they did get a good flaar report so i guess that the ink is good... I think we are going to convert the l25500 first and see how it runs. for as far i can see the bulk system for the l25500 is quite te same of the old 5500 system. exept for the chip resetters. Are there other manufacters of latex OEM ink ?

 

[Hzone15]

Flaar reports while very informative, are always bias based on donated equipment or cash changing hands.

 

[MachServTech]

Flaar is doublespeak and opinion (some of which is paid for), with a few specs and speeds thrown in for good measure. Nothing you couldnt get from going to ISA or SGIA and reading the spec sheets for yourself.

I have seen printed samples of the SAM ink for the L25500, but I get the impression its not out of beta testing.

 

[jens]

We did orderd a bulk system and ink for the l22500 so i keep you all posted.
I m going to do a full test. gamma compairing and sytem.

Hey Jens,
Anything you can tell us on the SAM ink bulk system?
I'm thinking of getting the HP L25500 with SAM ink.
Thanks!

Any updates on Sam-ink? Please post your results. Very interested in hearing.

I use Sam Ink for my Eco solvent and they work perfect. They call me every few weeks if I need more ink. I'm really happy with their customer service.

 

[BigfishDM]

Sam ink is a joke! Good luck getting support when they fail in your latex.

I think the SAM-INK is currently not a good choice for Latex. If they're really able to produce the latex ink works without problems then it should for SAM INK be the smallest problem to offer an update for existing other systems (solvent update) thinks times over it.....there is the hook !!!

See Bordeaux with there Latex ink....and now ?!?!? nothing too

Sam,
do you currently have a latex ink that works on the L28500 and the LX850? I am looking at each of these and the OEM inks are about 1/2 the price on the LX850 but you only get 2ft wider printing but it is over $100k more in cost, but if I can get my ink costs down on a L28500 I would rather buy that printer to save investment. But if not able to get a cheaper ink then the LX850 will pay for the increased price , $125k, in ink cost savings (oem vs oem ) over 60 months.
I am hoping you have a latex ink that is ready to run in the L28500 now.

 

[WYLDGFI]

IMO...I wouldn't even attempt to go Non OEM on the latex right now.

We got a set of SAM*INK from the only US supplier to try in our Latex. To be Honest there is a color shift, not huge and un-surmountable but definitely noticeable and will require profiling. The biggest problem we are contending with is the Chips on the carts, we can get one print cycle and then they get corrupted. They sent us the new version of the chips to try, but we have been so busy we haven't wanted to create any issues so we haven't tried them yet. The US supplier also assures us that the bulk ink system doesn't have the corruption issues because the chips on the cartridges don't read levels.

I haven't said the supplier name because they aren't MMs here.

I guess I'm different. I don't think saving a few bucks on a cartridge is worth risking print heads and quality. I just use the right stuff and go on about my business. Thats probably why I lose a few jobs to lowballers. However I get some enjoyment when those customers come back complaining about a previous project.

We do a lot of shirts and it makes me laugh when I see someone go to another shop and I see them wearing a shirt that half the ink has fallen out or the white ink is a nice shade of yellow.
