  2. Roland vs. Mimaki. Help me decide.

    Roland or HP I have run a Mimaki in the past and currently run two Rolands, one with print and cut option. We just brought in the new HP latex printer. I LOVE the new HP. The 220 is not a big deal. We had to have it installed before for the big Roland. The speed and quality are totally...

  4. 33 metre banner rolls....NOT!!!!

    It may be short...it happens. But you may also want to measure out your banners to be sure it isn't a calibration error. We have been asked that before when a roll came up short. Thats quite a bit short for a calibration error, but they will ask.

  6. Media flanges

    We use them all the time. We use ours all the time on nearly everything we put through. I think they work great - especially when you can print through a 50 yd roll without even realigning it. It saves a lot on headstrikes, misprints, and spoilage. I just ordered a couple more to replace...

We can tell by doing...

  10. Seiko 64s Color Painter

    I liked it I worked with Seiko 64 for a few months. It was a nice printer. Used a lot for vehicle wraps, digital vinyl and banners. Never broke down on us and a good workhorse. But we did have to vent it through an air purifier.

As things play out, we are left with the decision of upgrading to a brand new HP Scitex FB910 (Colorspan 9840) or the possibility of a used...
