  1. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    We were using over 6 a month. Have you calculated actual printing cost? Don’t relay on HP’s app. We did and we’re over .35 a sq ft.
  2. HP Scitex FB700 info?

    Be careful your dream machine may be the same nightmare so many have had. I’d speak to at least 4 users and run plenty samples. Watch actual speed and actual cost both are no where near what HP advertises.
  3. Machine that welds vinyl banner edges and grommets at the same time?

    Miller Weldmaster has one. https://www.weldmaster.com/machines/aes1900/
  4. Question What Printer would you stake your business on?

    We just purchased a S80600 and have been pleased. Our plan is to add several of the new 60600L with bulk ink soon.
  5. Question What Printer would you stake your business on?

    Way to much to say, we bought 2 last September and HP wasn't able to get 1 running, so we were down to just 1. For 10 months the most we were able to run without being down was a single 2 week stretch. We literally would have 1 tech leaving while putting in another service call. In the...
  6. Question What Printer would you stake your business on?

    I have and wish I would’ve sooner. I’m in the process of going from all HP to SwissQPrint. In July we replaced a HP R2000 with a SwissQPrint Impala and next week we will have the first SwissQPrint Karibu installed in the US.
  7. Direct printing to Coro

    Lane are you still using the G4 ink, if so any issues?
  8. HELP! I'm Pulling my hair out trying to fix this overspray issue on my FB700

    jet outs I would imagine if you printed your jet outs you would see that you have several jets with deflection. Black and Cyan are bad about it.
  9. FB500/700 users ->

    We had 2 FB950 (same as 700) and we kept them on performance cleaning. We kept the waste ink for 1 year and determined we were spending close to $7000 a year on cleanings. The HP's were good printers but by no means a production machine.
  10. Last minute Tax write-offs.What's everyone adding to their biz!

    New toy We added several new toys this year, but this is the latest and greatest. We purchased an Agfa Titan HS at the SGIA show in Vegas. Did the install last week with the color profiles being done today. So far really in love with this company.
  11. FB500 Lamp Hours/Power

    Not sure I've ever changed a bulb (I have 2 printers) with less than 1500 hours. My printers run a minimum of 8 hours a day. I was told that since we don't start and stop our printer that the bulbs last longer, kinda makes some sense. BTW we only use OEM.
  12. Carriage motion failure

    replace the data cable. we run into the same problem about every 5 months and it is the data cable.
  13. Arizona law and signmakers

    Like Gino I'm like Gino, I could care less if someones gay, black, white or the Easter Bunny! What I do care about is the government telling me what I can and cannot do with MY business. It's mine not anyone else's. If I don't allow red headed people to buy from me and I go out of business...
  14. Jets out on HP/FB700

    head strike You said you had some warped material go thru it and lost 11 jets, You did get a head strike! To fix you will need to order new heads.
  15. FB950/FB700 running 4 color?

    We have 2 FB950 printers and have been running 4 colors almost since day one (4 years on 1 printer and 3 years on the other) and haven't had a problem since. With the printing we do you can not tell a difference at all. The worst thing is you still have to buy the LC and LM for the profiles...
  16. not doing it for nothing

    price Just remember there is a reason he came to you and not back to the other. Never let another shop dictate your prices.
  17. What if ...google was a guy?

    girls college no no college girls LOL
  18. Zund

    I just finished training on my new Zund in Milwaukee. If this products works as we'll and the training and the guys at Zund America it will be the best purchase I ever made!
  19. Summa F Series Cutter - Thoughts?

    Not anymore I was looking for feed back but I went to SGIA in Orlando and net with several vendors and ended up buying a Zund.
  20. Gerber vs MultiCam vs Colex

    I was looking at the same equipment you were, also I thought I couldn't afford a Zund. Glad I kept looking and boy was I wrong. I went to SGIA in Orlando and ended up leaving with a Zund. So glad I went and kept looking. Although of the rest, I really liked the Multi-Cam but was very afraid...
