  1. HP FB750 and FB550 - What's new?

    i wouldn't trust CET either, yet. As I said FB's are solid printers, it has been proven. But it has stayed behind in quality and speed for the dollar, drops are to big and the printer is slow and bands very easy if you try to speed it up. OCE, Vutek, Durst, swissqprint has good options with...
  2. HP FB750 and FB550 - What's new?

    FB's are solid printers but they are outdated, there are many better technologies at the moment printing better and faster.
  3. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    The alignment pins will be very helpfull for you, they work very good for that. Adhesion has been great in acrylic and PETG, zero issues on that matter, We have only needed primer with glass.
  4. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    Hi Pat, we been using the mimaki UV Primer (GM-1), not cheap, but works very good.
  5. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    We have the tandem and white. you need to print many small size precut boards for tandem to be usefull. We have never used the tandem option. We do print alot of white, been working great for us on acrylic and petg. Have done some great glass prints with primer.
  6. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    An Impala with cmyk should be around 300K US maybe less with the euro where it is. The speed you know is very relative; some give max speeds that aren’t sellable. But a CMYK impala should be printing 50% faster than a 660 GT at comparable quality. But where it gets interesting is when you put...
  7. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    You should look at the swissqprint. It is also a true flatbed. I compered them both when I was making my reaserch and I went with the swissqprint for many reasons. 7 Months with the printer 24-7 printing zero issues. You should go demo it, they are at New York. It will be worth your time.
  8. Printing film positives on Latex, what works?

    I use .1" lexan. I even print color prints in this material and it comes out looking great. My heat settings are at max and have to print in at least 16 pass in the smaller printers. L25500 doesn't print lexan very good. I have print in the L26500 , Lx360 and the LX850. the black is very...
  9. Printing film positives on Latex, what works?

    I print beautiful positives with clear lexan film.
  10. Oce Arizona 480GT

    When we bought ours I sent the same files to most flatbed printer suppliers in the world. Swissqprint had the best quality of all them without question. The 6 picotoliter of the oce doesn't have the detail the 9 of the swissqprint has. It has to do more with the software that with the drop...
  11. Oce Arizona 480GT

    You should also see the swissqprint Impala or Nyala. Similar printer but faster, more reliable and prints perfect on all those materials. We love ours.
  12. Buying my first large CNC Router

    Multicam makes good routers. if you need router/cutter we love our ESKO, have no idea how we did it without it. Has taken the company to another level.
  13. OCE 460 using 256 Ink - Printing on 2nd surface Acrylic - Color matching problems

    You can use it without oce. How easy to use depends on the rip. I use with onyx and caldera. Caldera is easier than caldera to make profiles. But both are easy to use.
  14. OCE 460 using 256 Ink - Printing on 2nd surface Acrylic - Color matching problems

    You need custom profiles. Some manufacturers have horrible general profiles. also a translucent profile is generally used for backlit applications so you need to use light behind it to see the correct colors and saturation. i recommend the barbieri LFP, worth every penny.
  15. Switching From Onyx to Caldera

    Get a barbieri!!!
  16. Onyx 10.1 Ink Limit swatch printed grey?

    Could be a bad head or that you didn't do the density measures correctly. Before the ink limits you do density measurements. those are the two more probable causes.
  17. HP L26500 Latex - Prints are out of square/skewed.

    You are probably dropping to much ink or need to restrict inks better to print at that speed. HP profiles use 2 much ink. I print vinyl at 8 pass flawlessly.
  18. Oce Arizona 480 XT issues?

    Get a swissqprint,,, is like the accuity but with a very smart software and without the troubles. And it can print way faster! Depends on the configuration. good luck.
  19. Seeking Advice on Large Format Printers

    You can: 1) keep outsorcing, no investment. 2) buy a cheap roll to roll printer(hp latex) and manually mount vinyl to coro. This printer will also let you print your poster and banners. Around 20k investment. 3) buy a flat bed printer and print direct on coro. Investment around100k I...
  20. hp backlit material flaking

    Yes HP backlight is crap. It hold ink very good but it flakes bad. it is the coating that has the adhesition problem not the ink. your solution is to buy other brand of backlight.
