Excuse my ignorance but WTF is chromatic banding?

I used to use mine for outdoor signs, good media and lam required, flat surfaces only. You can get approx 3 year life depending on sun.

Is bloching anything like felching? :help Either too much ink for the media or contamination. Was this occurring before on this vinyl?

It's not the plotter. I can cut a whole roll of 610mm wide vinyl with the rollers right on the edge.

I use Onyx 7.3 and a Summacut 120. After a couple of disastrous print/cuts over about 2.5 metres I always try and keep my jobs under that length and have accurate reliable cuts. Sorry to not have a solution.

And gday from Sydvegas.

How are the test prints black especially? Been a while since it had a really good clean? What heat are you running?

I used an HP5500 for a lot of outdoor stuff - shortish term on flat surfaces only. I got 3 years out of some windows. Decent outdoor media is more expensive than solvent though.

Yeah I have a 745EX and a Summa cutter. Great combo. Don't know why anyone would want a cutter in their printer unless you were really pressed for space.

I think I just need to go out and kick some tyres now. Cheaper ink would be handy and is a factor.

You're making sense although I already run a few different printers and can just plug another one into Onyx. So the new Rolands with IPC run quicker with no banding than the old Soljet II's? It's starting to look like to get real performance you need to go up a category to the Seiko H74S/H100S.

A properly profiled system should get pretty close off the bat, depending on the gamut of your inks. And yeah if they have a spot colour that's important to them either name it in the PDF or point it out when ordering or get what prints. I usually have a look in supplied PDFs in reader...

I guess another Roland would make sense with the same inks although I think they're a bit too expensive. Well thanks for the info and advice, definitely need to do more research on this.

Thanks, that's the kind of info I'm after. So the V64S is faster than the others in this class? I know the new 74 and 100 are way faster but more than my budget atm.

I'm in Australia so we're paying thru the nose for anything imported by one or two dealers. Around $40-$50k Oz pesos.

Throughput, no specific requirements. Just want to get rush jobs done as quick as possible. I know nothing of the Mimakis or Mutohs.

I should clarify I've read all the posts here about the Epson. Anyone got the Seiko or anything else that compares? Thanks guys.

I'm thinking of getting a new eco solvent printer in a few months. We have a Roland 745EX and it's fine for what it is but I need something a little quicker on vinyl and paper. I was thinking of the new Seiko V64S or maybe the Epson GS6000. Anything else in this price range? Any owners of...

Welcome. What model HP is it? Some of the aqueous printers can produce external signage but durable media is expensive. As are the inks.

You don't say if you've done this but you can go into the printer menu and tell it to keep printing even after the bladder tab pops out, thus it keeps printing until all the ink is used. Occasionally a cartridge won't pop the tab out and will run right to the end. Just pop a new cart in and do...
