Als I concur. Avery is a big company. They advertise that their eco-solvent inks ( Spot colors traffic sign blue, yellow, black, green, brown, red and c,m,y,k) for their TrafficJet Printing System. They offer written guarantee that these inks will not fade? for up to 12 years (depending on...

Ben, Mimaki has done a very nice job of tweaking their UV flatbed technology. The JFX200 units (Ricoh Gen4 heads I believe) perform quite well. The JFX200-2531 is Mimaki's new 10' model. You should check with them for a demo in Chicago or Boston I believe. How wide? and what volume? of...

Ben, Your new list is Oce, CET, and Vanguard. Oce been around for a while and is pretty well known. CET been selling in US for several years and reports vary...you can find quite a few threads at this site Vanguard is offspring of CET management, and I suspect is a pretty good printer...

Gentlemen, We're talking about FREE cutting software for a Design package that was created for Desktop Publishing, NOT Sign making. If you want to make that $6,000.00 Graphtec hum, then invest in a design package like Cadlink or Flexisign. :)

Ben, SwissQ is top of the line in both price and performance. Oce and CET price competitive. Demo your particular application on both and go from there. Close and reliable service should be a major consideration. HP FB550 is a 64" wide Hybrid. Again, demo your particular application and go...

Als DOT Traffic Signs are often screenprinted black ink on 3M/Avery/Nikkalite prismatic film are typically warranted to last out doors for up to 10 years without a laminate. Avery sells a wide format digital printing system which uses an Avery "specially formulated" eco-solvent ink that...

DK Nice comments. I too believe HP has done an excellent job of tweaking their line of wide format latex ink printers. Mild Solvent ink and Eco Solvent ink printers have taken a back seat in this market. Enjoy your Latex 330.

LOL...I'm definitely with the Squirrel on this one... Third party ink have caused me many nightmares in past years!!! HP 500 print heads are EXPENSIVE and they are NOT the same heads as CET. What works in one machine often does not work in others. If you must change to third party, I would...

Sellers...It is good that there are knowledgeable posters like 2ct at this site. If you wrote down the name of the HP Tech that told you to buy a new printer, you should send him a copy of 2ct's post so perhaps next time someone ask him the same question he will have a better answer. :) I...

TomK Royal Sovereign makes a couple 55" Heat Assist Laminators. They are very good laminators. http://www.royalsovereign.com/roll-laminators-laminating-film-electric-trimmers/roll-laminators.html

cg...I will ask my service mgr when he gets in office, and post a response then. I shouldn't be surprised that someone more familiar wont post sooner. I am curious...have you asked your Reseller?

Myron, Good printer manufacturers like HP do pay attention to end user feedback! That is exactly why the new 500 series Latex ink printers have a redesigned loading system that is so much superior to the 300 series loading system. I do believe your company should work with your reseller to get...

Sign something, Your HP 9000 was built by Seiko (ColorPainter). The print-heads are very expensive and they require a "special alignment tool" for proper head alignment. If all your heads are firing properly and the heads are properly aligned, you can generate high quality digital prints...

I can't imagine you would need heat assist for laminating 3M clear cast adhesive backed vinyl to their printed or colored cast adhesive backed vinyl. Check out Royal Sovereign. I believe they make both a 32" and 41" wide cold mount laminator. Bob

Let's try again. https://sdgmag.com/magazine On the cover of Sign & Digital magazine is a picture of a "Retro Gasoline Pump". An article in the magazine explains the manufacturing process for this "retro gas pump" which stands roughly 6'x2'x2'. According to the article, it took roughly 400...

I enjoyed reading the article in Sign & Digital Graphics, Oct 2016 concerning the design and build of a Retro Gasoline Pump. The finished product was roughly 6'x2'x2'. I have no idea what an end user would pay for such a custom product? The article noted that the project took 400 man-hours to...

Ditch, The Gen 4 heads are pretty solid (stainless steel I believe) and the 6042 is a pretty solid machine. If you are meticulous re: cleaning and operation, I would agree with Steve...heads should last 3-4 years or longer! Mimaki's annual maintenance for the 6042 is a bit stiff in my...

JHeineck... <<The best advice I can give is to demo all prospects and let that be the deciding factor.>> Bingo, I agree. Always perform due diligence. The CEO of MCT, Steen Mikkelson, has a long history with both Esko and Zund cutters. Both companies OEM'ed Steen's "I-Cut" software for...
