No they are the old FB series. Great machines but old technology. I did not look at the R Series as I am not a fan of HPs business model. They made us a lot of money with their FB series, but they have also cost us 10s of thousands with their latex series. Maybe we got a lemon, but the way...

Yes. We have 2 HPs that we run in addition to the Trufire. We are printing 1.5 4x8s to every 18x24 on our HPs. It’s almost comical.

We have the TrufireX2 with the auto unloader. Machine is insanely fast and built very well. I really was not sold on the auto unloader at first but are really glad that we went with it. When you are printing a board every 45 seconds, your operator does not have time to unload and reload. Not...

Check out Vangaurd. The 10 head machine is pretty dang fast and the quality is better than the HP in my opinion. Color and adhesion also top notch. Smaller company that will treat you more like family than just another number.

We use the Nazdar 705 series in one of our presses and Nutec Amethyst in the other. Both work great other than the Nazdar does not work well on styrene. No experience with Triangle ink.

looks like air in the line. Do empty printhead>fill print head x 3. This will push any air out of the line. Then try another nozzle test.

Very informative. how does Digitech handle this?

I second the Digitech and SwissQ as well. We are in a similar situation and the Digitech, Swiss and Vanguard are all on our list. You can't go wrong with any of them, its just a matter of what best fits your business model. The Digitech is built like an absolute tank.

The Vanguard is very impressive. Quality, speed, color and adhesion were all where they needed to be. I can only imagine their support is equally as good as Jim is a stand up guy. He's been in the industry a long time and you don't make it this far without doing right by your customers...

I have the same issues with HP. We have had our 360 for 4 or so years and have been plagued with problems. The worst part of the experience has been the way HP has handled it. They have literally cost us tens of thousands of dollars in wasted material, ink and labor. The service level from...

Our 500 has around 700k square feet on it currently, but we had to replace hard drive/motherboard/etc. around the 3 year mark. Considering that reset the mileage on it, I would guess we have run well over 1 million square feet. Still running like a champ. Parts are getting harder to find, but...

If you want production, step up to a production machine. These things are toys. We run (2) HP (non latex) flatbeds - 2 shifts - and still need more capacity. We are adding a third machine and are going to make the jump up to something that is a true "production" machine. Always buy more than...

Nicely done!

The MCT looked great and was reasonably priced. The main turnoff I had with them was the training. They wanted to send a tech down to setup up the machine and then I had to send my people to Wisconsin (?) to be trained. I want my staff trained in our environment with jobs running off our...

I completely understand what your saying and agree. We do not do dimensional signage, and if it were our core business the Colex would not be the right machine for us. Can it do dimensional signage? Yes, but so can a hammer and a chisel. I also agree about evaluating the software. Buy...

We have had our Colex for about 2 years now and are pretty happy with it. We run it very hard (mainly routing) for two shifts, 80+ hours a week. We have had several things need to be replaced, but that is to be expected with the amount of through put we do. The software is glitchy and we had...

Same thing has been happening to us for the past month or so. Blues are printing purple and we have tried everything to correct. Never would have thought HP could make such a big mistake by mislabeling the box.

I have about 600 sheets of 24"x48"x1/2" foamcore drop that I could cut this out of. Would love to unload this material and could make you a good deal. PM specs if interested.

All manufacturers/printers on that list are well known and established. Send your files to each company and have them printed on a comparable mode. The most important thing I can stress is to test adhesion on the products. It doesn't matter how good it looks if it doesn't stick. Adhesion may...

Is the difference in the droplet size (variable)? To me the smaller the dot the smoother the print. It appears to be a larger droplet being printed on the right. We had a problem like this occur years back on a roll to roll machine. It happened when our rip/software was updated and caused an...
