I have the Summa 1832 which is the 6'x10' model with the High Frequency Router. The machine is very good....the software just ok. Zund would have been another $20,000. Zund is top of the line stuff. Hardware and software are outstanding.
That said, I am happy with my purchase. I've had the...
I'm glad to hear that your past the printhead replacement phase of your 1650. Unfortunately I seem to be having a similar problem with my 1650. We have had 3 magenta heads go out within 25,000 sq feet of printing! Is there any advice you can give me? We have an experienced, quality operator for...
I started the sign business 38 years ago with a Chevy Luv Pickup and $500 worth of fluorescent watercolor window paint and foam brushes.
Now:
126" wide Stratojet Falcon UV roll to roll
4x8 Stratojet Flatbed
Canon Colorado 1650 UV
Seiko M-64s solvent printer
Summa 1832 6'x10' Flatbed Cutter...
I can vouche for Stratojet. I have two of their UV printers and they are both reliable workhorses. Have had them for 4 years and they are printing as good as new. Both of my machines have 6 Richoh Gen5 printheads.
I can vouch for the M-64. I bought mine 8 or 9 years ago. Great machine. The inks have extreme outdoor durability. We've had billboards in Vegas facing the sun for over 3 years and they still look great. No Lamination. Our machine must have a million square feet and it still prints great. We...
Here is a video from Justin Pate explaining the difference between solvent and UV ink when wrapping vehicles.

Here is my definition of insanity. Yes this is a real shop. This shop is on my own property (i hate landlords). We just installed the Colorado 1650 about 4 months ago. The flatbed cutter has not been a problem being next to the printer. We do not at this time cut wood though. We do lots of...
I've had several unit s with that problem. Cyan is a problematic color that causes the nozzles on the head to clog and deflect cyan ink. HP solved this problem a few years back with an additive in their cyan ink. Unfortunately if you have an older head that was exposed to the older version of...
Ugh, my new 1650 installation and training just finished Friday! And now I want to trade in my printer...lol. Hopefully my business will grow and we will need another Colorado in the future.
I have two Stratojet printers. One flatbed and a 10' roll to roll. Both are loaded with 6 Richo Gen 5 printheads each. Reliable, fast, and they print great. I could not be happier. I have owned both machines for over 3 years.
I just bought a Canon Colorado 1650 and it is being installed on 3-28. My Seiko M64 is an awesome printer but I do not have room for it in my small shop. I've had this printer for 8 years and it is in EXCELLENT shape. Prints perfectly. I'm selling all of my ink (11 1.5 liter cartridges are...
