  1. What a joke HP is

    Unfortunately for these small latex machines I am unaware of a solid replacement. There is not enough margin for these smaller companies to build and be competitive. I was mainly referring to larger machines. We purchased our Digitech flatbed back in august and the support has been...
  2. What a joke HP is

    And just to clarify, I have no problem paying for a service call to help diagnose a problem. We diagnosed the issue ourselves and new what part to replace just needed the part number. The fact that you have to pay to get the part number to buy from HP is asinine.
  3. What a joke HP is

    We noticed our optimizer leaking on some material and then realized it had leaked all over the maintenance cartridge. This lead to it getting all over the printheads and clogging/ruining the all of them. Frustrating but that is the half of it. We diagnosed that a fitting had failed...
  4. Suggestions Best mid-level flatbed printer?

    I would add to say that i would research the service contracts after your 1 year warranty expires. Your jaw may hit the floor when you see what some of the larger OEM companies charge for little to no service. I am done with HP after seeing the games they play.
  5. Suggestions Best mid-level flatbed printer?

    I second this. Have had our Digitech since end of august and are still amazed with the speed, quality and durability. We print crisp 8 point type on .020 styrene at 45 seconds a sheet. With the auto-unloader, you can easily hit 60 boards an hour without killing your operator. The vanguard is...
  6. UV Roll to Roll printers

    Vanguard has a nice 3.2 meter with a good price point.
  7. Need Help UV Ink not adhering to Coroplast signs. (Peeling Ink, Sun Exposure)

    I spy some of my samples from when we were looking at the Digitech! Great printer with the strongest ink I have seen. If it doesn’t stick, you can’t send it out the door. My days of worrying are over!
  8. Flatbed Printing & Finishing

    i would second this. We have the same setup. Great machine that does everything we need. Service is great as well.
  9. Flatbed Printing & Finishing

    Digitech’s latest podcast really put my thoughts/experience into words. A real world user talking about the same benefits I have seen. Give it a listen to see what their all about. https://digitechusa.com/the-auto-unloader-featuring-tommy-trucks-signmaster/
  10. Flatbed Printing & Finishing

    We have had our Digitech a little over 2 months and could not be happier. The whole experience has been incredible....from install, to service to follow up visits. This company really takes care of its customers and makes you feel like part of a family. We have not had 1 single...
  11. US Made Digitech Trufire printer

    Absolutely. I looked at the stratojet in Dallas last year and they are great machines. Got to talk to an end user that spoke very highly of the machines and company. Lots of great companies/manufacturers out there doing incredible things. It’s a fun time to be in the industry!
  12. US Made Digitech Trufire printer

    Like with anything, you pay for quality....and you only pay once. We just finished up 5k pieces of acrylic and this machine hasn’t had a single hiccup. The only issue was almost a bad head crash when I missed my guide. The anti-crash sensor stopped the carriage and saved me probably all of my...
  13. US Made Digitech Trufire printer

    We are seeing between $.10-$.15 per square foot in ink costs. $.15 is with heavy saturation. We are running 10 kyocera printheads with variable dot. Ink is proprietary to Digitech as it should be. Never seen an ink as durable and scratch resistant.
  14. US Made Digitech Trufire printer

    No they are the old FB series. Great machines but old technology. I did not look at the R Series as I am not a fan of HPs business model. They made us a lot of money with their FB series, but they have also cost us 10s of thousands with their latex series. Maybe we got a lemon, but the way...
  15. US Made Digitech Trufire printer

    Yes. We have 2 HPs that we run in addition to the Trufire. We are printing 1.5 4x8s to every 18x24 on our HPs. It’s almost comical.
  16. US Made Digitech Trufire printer

    We have the TrufireX2 with the auto unloader. Machine is insanely fast and built very well. I really was not sold on the auto unloader at first but are really glad that we went with it. When you are printing a board every 45 seconds, your operator does not have time to unload and reload. Not...
  17. best printer for yard signs

    Check out Vangaurd. The 10 head machine is pretty dang fast and the quality is better than the HP in my opinion. Color and adhesion also top notch. Smaller company that will treat you more like family than just another number.
  18. Question Scitex Series - HP VS Triangle VS Nazdar Ink

    We use the Nazdar 705 series in one of our presses and Nutec Amethyst in the other. Both work great other than the Nazdar does not work well on styrene. No experience with Triangle ink.
  19. FB550 Printhead Replacement

    looks like air in the line. Do empty printhead>fill print head x 3. This will push any air out of the line. Then try another nozzle test.
  20. White Ink / Speed

    Very informative. how does Digitech handle this?
