I'd say 20-25% increase in speed is about right (standard to standard setting). The nice thing is you can print high speed banners with very nice quality, whereas before there was very noticeable banding. You're actually running different profiles/pass settings, so you're comparing two...

So grab a 64" Summa! :)

I've been told that the only thing that carried over from the Colorspan was the I-beam, but other than that everything is basically new. I also read it uses Ricoh heads, and there aren't many of them out there either. I'm also considering an EFI QS2000. Any experience with that one?

What are your thoughts? Likes/dislikes?

Well, he was half way correct. RIPC uses different profiles, but it is also a different firmware to allow it to happen. What it does is it layes C & M (lc and lm in printers with six colors) down a little in each direction to lessen the effect of C sitting on top of M in one direction, and...

We only specifically match colors that are PMS designated. If they just give you a file with RGB or CMYK values, let the RIP sort it out (assuming your profiles are dialed in). If the client doesn't care enough to call the color out, then it obviously doesn't matter to them that much.

I'm not positive on the V64S.. the model we looked at was the 100", and they said it was printing at about 450sf/hr, and the print looked outstanding. For $30kUS, you can get a Roland XJ740 that'll print 74" wide and run about 150sf/hr in production mode. You can kick that up to about...

The Mutoh's aren't going to be fast enough if you're looking for more speed over your Roland. The Epson really isn't that much faster either. The Seiko is fairly fast, and the price wasn't too bad (At ISA they were running specials of like $60k for the 100").

I'd grab the RS640.

Yes, I posted something, with NO information in it. Like I was asked. I trust my source, and honestly don't care what you think. I have no idea why anyone would want any of that, and again, don't understand half of what you're saying.

Registration is actually quite easy. Because of the low initial tack you'll see, you can peel the whole sheet and stick it loosely with your hand. Just don't let the vinyl touch itself, as it's NOT ControlTac.

Well, I just heard what it was.. Was asked not to say so I won't, but don't worry--it's nothing to be excited about.

That is true. Worst one we did, we ran two six hour shifts and it took us just over two full days to complete. That was off of a scissors lift, so you have maneuvering time to account for too.

IJ8624/8524.. but like mentioned above, you must have the high temp heatgun and the correct rollers. Last I saw the complete set of tools was about $400. Also expect the install to take a full eight hours.

We placed our usual order with SW a couple weeks ago.. The only thing we order from them anymore is slitters to cut the vinyl off the cutters. I can't find 'em anywhere else!

Leaving the head on cleaning solution shouldn't do any harm. The cleaning solution is the solvent that's actually *in* the ink, and when you're going to store the machine for an extended period of time, you should flush the system and leave cleaning solution in it. Sounds to me like the...

Flatbed would be SWEET. I hope they don't go with a hybrid..

That means you're missing ICC profiles, and if you use that profile to print it'll use a generic one--and print like garbage. If you've done the updates already, I'd give Roland tech support or your dealer a call. I once deleted all of ours when we downgraded back to 2.7. Luckily my dealer...

PCV2 and PGVP both work great for us. We have a slight magenta tint that is easily corrected.
