  3. Need Help Colordao 1650 - Who has one and does wraps?

    Hi Guys I tried a bunch of substrates on a Colorado1650 yesterday. I printed on Avery 1105. When I came back I did a quick test on the edge of a bumber to see how it would conform. I didnt laminate it. My results showed that it stretched about half the amount that the same print from the HP...
  4. Colorado 1640 Ink (Shelf Life)

    Good points. The tech guy is getting specs for me.. They are not salesman so hopefully ill get some real data and share it around.. But you have me thinking. So did they fill the reservoirs to full which would be 2.5 liters versus put a single canister on.. 1 litre. So Im at 50% ink use (1.2...
  5. Colorado 1640 Ink (Shelf Life)

    I have the tech guy out here now.. He said if you leave the old ink after expiry you can do a head in which is $8K Gosh they put the fear in you of doing the wrong thing.. Then the Oce trainer said, don't worry just add a new ink bottle and when they mix it extends the life of the older. It all...
  6. Colorado 1640 Ink (Shelf Life)

    Hi Guys Does anyone know what shelf life a new bottle of UV ink for the 1640 should have. I know there is an expiry date on the bottle, but what should I be expecting from a new bottle. I would have thought 12 months. We bought the 1640 five months ago and only do small prints, but we do lots...

  9. Wrapping Planes & Jets Yes or No?

    Thanks Everyone.. I hear you all. There are a few videos on Youtube of companys wrapping Big Passenger jets, certanily looks easy enough, but yea that insurance will probably be a killer. Discovered 3M will only sell their specialty product for planes to trained and certified by them for...

    Hi Guys I Have been asked about wrapping a Jet, Scares me no end.. Will the wrap stay on at 350 MPH I assume its only going to take the slightest floor in the wrap and its going through the engine.. YIKES.. Has anyone done this or has any technical knowledge about this? Similarly what about...

  12. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    Ok, thanks, Ill look into that. I remember quite some time ago I did tests where I made up a number of CMYK swatches with different color mixes for black and everyone of them looked identical when printed. I cant remember now how I determined the final results, but it frustrated me that I...
  13. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    Someone might need to confirm this. But I am fairly sure the HP still prints a spread of inks even when you set 100% black..
  14. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    Hey Buddy Thanks for that, yea sounds about right.. I couldn't say at the moment as my HP is In Australia, but will check with my partner. It is one of the things that always annoyed me about the HP is that great black has to be a combo of colors. Would be great if 100% black was black without...
  15. Richo L5160 - anyone got one?

    Thanks Guys... In aswer to a few things. A couple of responses. CMKY I find the black on my HP has a greeny look when compared to other printers that are pure cmyk. You wouldnt know unless you compared them. I have A colorado 1640 and the color is absoulty amazing. Cant do wraps though.. I...
