  2. HP 370 Bad Trailing Cable - Help

  3. Higher print quality than an HP 750

    Hey all! I'm in the market for a flatbed printer. I need roll to roll and white is a must. I know it's a PITA, but I must have it. HP sent me some samples of their 750, but the grain was too high on small text and images. Is there anything better? Speed isn't the largest consideration for...

  5. Solaris Eco Sol Liter Bottles up for Grabs

    I have a set of Solaris eco sol bottles. They are good new inks. I just pumped out my two Rolands and this is the spare ink. They are buik inks. Free to a good home. Just pay shipping. I'd hate to pour the ink into kitty litter and throw it out. Fine for another Solaris ink user.

    What is the fastest printer for running wrap vinyl roll-to-roll for less than $250k. I feel like I may need two of the new roland xr machines as they run awesome quality at something like 200 sqft an hour, but I know that other machines are capable of printing at 2500 sqft an hour, but...

    The family and I took a vacation to Disney. I did a thorough manual cleaning and put it to sleep. I get back last night around midnight. Stop into the shop and hear a beeping noise from the printer. I don't know when it happened but the printer went for an automated cleaning over the last...

  17. Low Down on 2006 PressVu 200/600 SC

    Guys. I don't know squat about flatbed printing other than the basics. This hybrid seems pretty sweet, but as with all printers they never are as good as they seem. What are the operating costs on this machine. How's the print quality and speed for sellable prints. Can you do aftermarket...

  19. Refurbing 645ex

    I picked up a 645ex today from a friend of mine who is a dyesub printer. He upgraded to a larger printer and put this one in storage. Regretfully they don't know much about printers and didn't flush it before they put it in storage. I plan on flushing it, putting in six new heads/dampers and...
