Have had the same issue on all of our inks. Would to see if anybody has found a resolution.

There are much better options available than HP. Look into other manufacturers Canon, Vanguard, Digitech, EFI. All depends on price point and what you need to achieve.

Having both I would absolutely go with the dedicated true flatbed and dedicated roll to roll. The quality and production is much better. Hybrids are great on paper but does neither very well.

I’m curious to know what settings (strategy) most people are running. On banner we have to run strategy 2 or else we get random banding even with enhanced marks. Don’t know if it’s our material or profile.

I am the complete opposite. I would rather print corrugated all day long. Vehicle graphics is as down and dirty as corrugated. You have so many side hustlers doing it out of their garage, basement, etc. People designing, printing and installing at close to my material cost. Not to mention...

We print truckloads of corrugated. Never handle with any special care nor clean with alcohol. It’s a matter of having the right equipment with correct ink setup. No fingerprints, adhesion or color issues. Gino makes a point but I don’t agree with him. If you are trying to compete with...

On week 1 of running our 1650. I really like this machine but it is not as fast as I would have hoped. Granted, I have not had a chance to completely dial it in. Still building profiles and testing where we want to be on day to day production. It is definitely a more expensive machine but I...

Maybe I should have read this entire thread, but 80% of what you are printing is made over seas. Your materials, your equipment and most of your software. Buy domestic when you can and support those companies that are trying to keep it in the states. One of the only American made companies is...

We are running caldera and they are encouraging us to switch to onyx. Not gonna switch all of our equipment/software over for 1 printer. It sounds like there are not as many profiles through caldera. It’s hard to imagine there are only a few people using this printer with caldera.

They are telling me 2 days for install/training. That seemed awfully short to me. I feel like they are rushing to get this printer placed/installed the week of thanksgiving.

FireSprint…great meeting you all at Print United. Hopefully they get you all situated and smooth sailing. How was everybody’s install? They are wanting to install us the week of thanksgiving and I want to make sure I’m not getting short changed. We close at noon on Wednesday. Is that...

Bought it for 55k

Felt very similar about the Canon reps. That being said, I bought the floor model from them. Lol.

Just bought a Colorado 1650. Can’t wait to get away from latex and HP. They are consistently inconsistent…Color, service, quality, etc. Don’t know if I will like Canon (as a company) any better, but don’t know how they could be any worse than HP. The 1650 looks very impressive and have...

Reds are tough on any flatbed. Yes, Caldera is a bit too blame. We have had the Digitech team rip files via Onyx to our machine through their server. There is definitely a noticeable difference between Calder and onyx. The reds are on par with our HP flatbeds and have never had a customer...

I don’t understand why all these companies bring all this equipment to these shows to just sit there. Are they scared of what people will see/think? People want to see it work. We’re not buying it for a show piece!

I don’t think I would compare summa to Zund. Colex is an incredible bang for your buck. About to buy the Colex automated bed to pair with our Digitech. Flawless combination.

Very true. When you are running 4 picoliter drop size there is no need for light colors. I would put Digitech’s quality up against anybodies. We print a ton of acrylic for a customer that cannot achieve the same quality or color on their Fuji flatbeds. Our consistency on our Digitech is...

Unless it’s reoccurring business there is no point in going through the extra process.

I absolutely despise HP for your same exact reasons. You want to love their machines, but they as a company make it impossible. Their too big to work with and could give two shits about any of their customers. It’s like buying a printer from the government and any issue is like initiating an...
