  1. Colorado or not

    Definitely sounds appealing but have yet to see a hybrid do roll to roll as good as a true roll to roll. Tracking, walking, etc seems to always be an issue. Would never feel comfortable setting a roll and walking away. How does it handle those issues?
  2. Roll to Roll UV Printer Purchase

    Put the canon Colorado on your list. The new one has white and gloss/matte finish. We have had ours about a year and it has been great.
  3. Double Sided Alignment on Flatbed Printer

    True flatbed shouldn’t be an issue. We are usually within 1/16. Measure your media. It’s usually oversized in that situation.
  4. Equipment Redundancy - Bad idea to rely on one printer?

    Just signed my service contract on our 1650 yesterday. Not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling. Time will tell. When they installed our Colorado we experienced the same issues with techs showing up at 4 and would have to leave by 530. Took them a better part of two weeks to finally get the...
  5. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Yes, not much as far as consumables. Very little maintenance and very easy to use. Probably my favorite roll to roll that I have owned.
  6. Canon Colorado M Series.

    You will be very happy with the Colorado. It just works. The latex machines take forever to get going, cool off and just throw errors any chance they get. Colorado you just hit print and let it go. Solid build and reliable b
  7. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Shoot me your email address and I can send you a couple of our files. Would love to see if there is a difference.
  8. Canon Colorado M Series.

    Colorado is great and it does use less ink but their ink is SO expensive. Have tried negotiating better ink price and they do not seem interested at all. They quoted me $.08-$.10 per square foot and we are double that. Ken the rep that sold it to me is about as worthless as they come...
  9. Roland UV vs Mimaki UV vs HP 700w maintenance +white opacity

    I know the Colorado seems high but if you finance it, it’s a low monthly payment. Well worth the money as it is a work horse. No heat up, cool down, replacing heads, etc. Replaced our latex with it and could not be happier. HP is complete trash and their service is even worse.
  10. HP Latex 800W

    Probably the best move you could have ever made. Hands down the best company to pair yourself with. Digitech cares about their customers and always have your back.
  11. Question What's your equipment setup?

    Digitech LTX2 HP Fb700 HP 360 Canon Colorado 1650 (2) Colex sharpcut Graphtec 64” plotter Laminators Edward seagull pneumatic grommet press Several sewing machines Panel saw Slitters, punches, guillotines Several screen presses Reclaiming and washout booths Plenty of other fun tools but...
  12. HP latex 700w: bad printer, bad support, advice needed. How did you return/replace your HP 700/800?

    I am curious as to what is going on with HP. I have had 2 different sales reps for HP come into my shop to try and sell to me direct. Big turn off for me and their distributors. Both have been told that we will no longer do business with HP given their track record with support. After...
  13. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    I went there with the intention to buy the LT. Talked me into buying the LTX2 and it was the best decision I have made. It was a leap for us but I trusted Digitech and the product they have made. It is an absolute work horse that will change your business. We have quickly grown into...
  14. Sick of HP support prices!!

    Step 1. Get rid of HP. The biggest hack in the industry. Don’t drink the kool-aide.
  15. Need Help UV Flatbed Recommendations

    I second the Digitech comment. Yes they are more expensive but you paying for quality built machines. We are coming up on year 3 with ours and close to 3 million square feet printed. We have had ZERO service calls. That blows my damn mind! Great company and cannot say enough good stuff...
  16. Deep reds on Canon Colorado 1650

    You are going to have a very hard time matching a screen printed fire red (different animals). We have shifted a lot of our screen printed vinyl to the Colorado but there are definitely limitations. You obviously need to be matching closer to the process version but still will have a hard time...
  17. HP Latex 800W

    We went away from HP due to their business model and awful support. Best part…not having to deal with HP anymore. One of the most frustrating things I have ever experienced.
  18. Coroplast Suppliers

    Do you have a Piedmont Plastics or Polymershapes? They are both great plastic suppliers. If not, you may look into buying by truckload. Its usually roughly 25 pallets per truck, but it if you are using any quantity that may be the best option. There is also less handling and likelihood of...
  19. HP FB700 New (and used) Ink profilers failing

    Our 3rd party supplier used to reprogram old HP chips that worked when configured but no longer do that. Now the HP chips don't work either. I don't understand what's changed.
  20. HP FB700 New (and used) Ink profilers failing

    I have had the same chip error problem with OEM ink and 3rd party. Have not been able to find a resolution for either.
