  1. Roland VG-640 TrueVis - Eats Ink like no other

    Hey Mainframe, why on eart would I lie? I'm not talking about VG-s I'm talking about SG. And I'll suggest anyone looking for a new printer to avoid Roland and especially truevis sg. At least in my country service is poor.

  10. Selection between mimaki CJV-160 & ROLAND VERSA CAM 640i

    My CJV150 prints very well, I couldn't be happier with it. It does everything from extremely good quality 3x3" laptop decals to 2 pass 360 dpi banners, cutter is super precise, I have mine set up with 8 colors. Mimaki pros: Cheaper ink ($75 vs $105) Comes with a take up unit and ink set Sheet...
  11. Mimaki vs HP

    Why not mimaki latex? Latex machines uses a lot of electric energy to heat the media and ink is more expensive. Resolution is not very good and heads are cheap but they are considered consumables, they produce worse and worse prints evey day until you change them. Latex ink stays on TOP of the...
  12. Question Best printer for moto,snowmobile,car wrap

    Mimaki has all the features versacamm has, truevis is just a basic machine with low resolution (900 dpi vs 1440), no nozzle recovery (mimaki can replace bad nozzles in software, truevis cannot, if one nozzle gets faulty you're stick with a visible line on that particular color until you buy a...

  16. Need Help Fair price for GX-24?

    The number of years doesn't mean anything, I have a CX-24 bought 5 years ago second hand ($250) and still runs like on the first day. I bough vinylmastercut and I couldn't be happier with both purchases, just try the trial it's waaaay better than flexy.
  17. Need Help Roland Truevis sg-540 printer problem

    Hi Robert, Speed is the least important thing for me but yes, you're right about it. Roland is more popular where I live and I never even bothered to take a look at other brands. Since I'm new in this industry I wanted to get a good machine and start production right away but now I have no...

    I don't know what size you're looking for, but you should get the cheapest you can find in the size you need.
