We just commissioned a H652... Pretty happy with the machine excellent print quality though it is a manual machine compared to the FB500. The FB500 was our first choice but we went with the Rastek for its 6 pico drops and quality print over speed. If you need more production speed the FB500...

We been using Phototex for a couple years with good results... However beware, solvent inks and the oil based adhesive on phototex do not like each other, after a couple of months they start mixing through the fabric and the ink just wipes off, almost falls off really! You have to laminate...

I got ErgoSoft PosterPrint supporting two printers for around $3k... Hope this helps. Check it out its so worth it, Your local supplier should be able to give you a trail dongle to test out.

Thought I would also add as part of our upgrade to the HP L26500 I also changed Rips from ONYX to ErgoSoft PosterPrint. I don't know why I put up with ONYX for all these years, Its cumbersome clumsy and the print and cut simply just does not work, (for me anyway) even after spending $1000...

Old thread, but all I can say is I just traded my JV-33 in for a 26500 and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. The L26500 is a truly amazing machine all the hype is for real! We will be getting a second one of these or the 28500/LX600, cash and work load permitting. Enjoy guys. Once...

Thank you ArtBot, I appreciate your assistance!

Hi Guys, This might be a obvious question but I could not find anything with a quick search so here it goes... What is the best way to store a print head that's been used but not installed in the printer? I have flushed the head and its running clear but I'm not sure if I should leave flush...

Thanks so much for this great collection artbot! Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the F/W upload tool?

Same problem here with ES3 inks on a JV33. Does any one know if going to a mild solvent will fix this issue? Something I have noticed is, when its on the table getting trimmed and packaged there is NO PROBLEM at all, you can pretty much do anything to it without the ink coming off. The...

We have a Seal 62Pro and can only say its an amazing machine, its over 10 years old and still going strong! We have just ordered a EL 54 and cannot wait for delivery, this week hopefully. :-) If you thinking of going with SEAL its a no brainer the reliability and support is second to none...

We Liquid Laminate our Phototex prints but very lightly... Do not use as much as you would on a canvas print for instance! Good Luck

Thanks for that, there was loads of good info from the search :) Much appreciated! I got a call from the HP dealer here saying that they will match the Mimaki price of AU$ 35K for a HP 8000 and include a summa cutter, RIP etc... Back to the drawing board for now... its a big decision and we...

Hi Im outsourcing the printing, the printers have told that I could use high quality PDF- but to make sure its printing properly. Which is when I found the gradient issue. I have designed the banner using Mac in Indesign and was justing printing mock ups on the office printer.

Hi I have designed a banner and added a gradient, and drop shadow to the file. When I print from InDesign the file comes out exactly right. However when I export to High Quality PDF - on screen it looks fine but when I print from PDF the gradient comes out black - the whole gradient area is a...

Good Day all, Firstly thank you for such a great resource! I have probably one of the biggest decisions to make and would like to get your thoughts. After months of research I finally decided to get a digital printer for my sign shop. I settled on the new Roland XJ-640 and it comes in at...
