There is support in Australia for mimaki.
But yes I’m not confident they can run 24/7 great entry machines, but I always see more issues with those than anything else
Running costs isn’t viable. I would need a few so yeah, double or triple maintenance.
it really does seem UV printers are...
Yes it would. Not sure what they're worth. but my dilemma, need it sooner than later. Once my work of offset, then i can get something much larger.
Printing rolls up to 1600mm. mostly 1400mm
I can’t find an Australian distributor for Vanguard. Although since they’re own by durst, I could give them a call.
I believe there’s an Australian distributer. But a small company in Sydney. I’ll look into it. But no high hopes as id like Melbourne support.
if anyone has anymore...
I believe i'll be staying away from Rolland anyway. They're all entry level printers and not right for the job. can't find the speed spec, but i highly doubt they'd get the print speed.
For those who haven’t been following.
I’ve been looking for a UV (has to be uv) roll to roll printer.
I need to be able to cover 200 - 500m2 a day
The quality has to be good as it’s full ink coverage
Images are photographic. Viewed at am arms length away.
No banding at all
Reliable for...
can only go so far with out reducing gamut. Unfortunately I can’t go test this at canon or they wouldn’t would have let me stay at the office for a day.
Have you made your own ICC profiles for it? I have been told that threes a hard limit for ink limits which means we cannot reduce ink to save costs.
What are your experiences with it?
On paper the Colorado is quicker than the 2300. but pending on how fast the Colorado can go with out banding with full colour coverage.
On my Arizona I can achieve the quality I need on production mode which is 18-20m2/h
yes it’s slower on the RMO but I cannot find another UV roll to roll...
Are you looking at getting one?
The samples i have look great. and they have a decent speed on them.
We're hoping that the sampis will work with the intended application or we are literally looking at a 2380XTF just for the RMO speed.
There still is a demo unit over there. There was one in melbourne but they pulled it out to replace someone elses. turns out, printer was fine and it was a power issue on their end.
Update:
Canon have came, great chat and they've got my arizona samples and media. We'll see how it goes.
They are concerned about my application with the speed i want. but at the moment, it's the best entry option available with speed behind it.
Thanks! i've got cannon coming in an hour to take some media to the Sydney showroom. They still have one there. They couldn't get time on anyone in Melbourne, and the job is getting fast tracked by the clients quickly.
For reference the media is 30gsm. (im running it on the arizona fine)...
I don't see why it couldn't print on it. for reference it's 30gsm / 0.02mm. - my arizona does it fine.
What's the quality like at 40m2? -
what about 60m2?
Would you know the ink consumption per m2?
im having a feeling the 48m2 "matte" application would be the one i need.. as i need the...
Yes but i still want to know how it prints in general. banding, quality, speed, known issues. things to watch for.... etc.
The "unique" application is just a very thin paper. It prints fine on my Arizona roll-roll. but need more speed.
We've been looking at UV roll-roll printers for a very unique application.
Considering the Colorado 1650 for medium - high volume runs.
I've been though most of the threads already, but any pros and cons from longer term use?
i keep seeing banding issues? Is there an advance media...
What software are you using to create the ICC profile?
When you're in the rip with a pure B&W image, how much CMY is it using? how much K is it using? should be able to move the mouse over the artwork and display the CMYK ink values for the image.
