  1. Need replacement printer feedback

    The R1000 is definitely on the short list. We flew to Atlanta to demo the R2000 before the 1000 was announced. We ended up keeping the EFI at the time and buying an HP Latex 570 to complement it. It's been near flawless. It's limited by the lack of white ink, which the R1000 does have. The...
  2. EFI H1625 LED Question

    What did you end up deciding? Did you buy the printer? Our same machine has died and we're not reviving it. Are you happy with your used one, presuming you bought it?
  3. Need replacement printer feedback

    ABCO is researching a replacement for one of our wide format printers that is no longer operational nor feasible to repair. Our EFI H1625 LED UV hybrid roll/rigid printer is 1.65m/65" wide with CMYK plus two white channels, printing onto substrates up to 50mm/2" thick. Pros: Print quality...

    Welcome, from Big D!
  5. This job scares me...

    This would be a good peace of mind move to ask full payment. . Get full payment up front. If she balks at that, you have your reason to pass on the job.

    I came here today and learned something!
  7. Need Help Anyone know where to get the material to make this curb sign..looks cool!!!

    In my experience, maybe. I have two on my curb at home, and I have a few here at the shop on polished concrete. Unless the polished concrete is sealed, all of the prints are holding pretty well on concete with no staining that I'm aware of.
  8. Need Help Anyone know where to get the material to make this curb sign..looks cool!!!

    We used Panorama Walk&Wall (https://www.cgxusa.com/produkte/walkwall/) We print on either a HP Latex 570 or EFI H1625 LED UV
  9. NEW AND FROM TX

    Welcome. We're in Big D here in Texas, too.
  10. Need Help Anyone know where to get the material to make this curb sign..looks cool!!!

    WE substituted floor graphic material for this application to save a fortune. It adheres to concrete and is 1/10 the cost of the aluminum stuff. Renew every couple of years?
  11. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    My bad. I was ONE character off. We have a Ricoh Ri-1000 (note the "i") which is a DTG printer, and I misread that you have the HP R1000, so apples and oranges. We looked at the R2000 and really liked it. Ending up deciding on adding an HP Latex 570 to our EFI H1625 instead of replacing the EFI...
  12. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    OK, so we've had our Ri-1000 on a trial basis since last month. We use Colorgate 10 and are having mixed success. Our training was all via phoine over a couple hour period. We can't get a good print of our OWN logo or that of our best client. Both contain solid colors. Photographic stuff works...
  13. EFI H1625 LED Question

    I would NOT buy the H1625 LED machine again. The liquid cooling system is overly complex and replacement pumps are $800 each (you have two per machine.) The heads are nearly $4,000 each to replace. I believe the 16H is vast improvement, having changed printhead technology and switched away from...

    Colex and Accentsignage.com may help.
  15. Suggestions Quieting a LOUD Colex SharpCut vac table?

    Had no idea about that/had forgotten about that until I came back to this thread. Sex little mufflers under there, but still loud.
  16. Creative ways to make money with CNC

    Do you also have print capability? We print floor graphics and contour cut them, with a drag knife attachment. We have a flatbed cutter with router attachment and two other tool slots. If you're only able to route, maybe you can partner with a local print shop?

    Sounded more like I was responding to his question than advertising. Apologies.

  19. Discussion A Prince fan who prints.....see what I did there?

    We had a little spare time and some extra Falconboard. Prince was honored by Pantone through a custom shade of his favorite color, purple. My wide format operator put together some white and some black Falconboard, along with our EFI H1625 LED and Colex Sharpcut, to create one oy my favorite...
  20. Suggestions Quieting a LOUD Colex SharpCut vac table?

    We've struggled with the same. We have made earplugs available to those in other areas, if they choose. When it comes to routing acrylic, we just grin and bear it. My operator wears hearing protection when routing, or using the oscillating tool for a length of time. We though about acoustic...
