  1. Arizona, Agfa or EFI??

    I would rather go for EFI VUTEk H2000 Pro with roll-to-roll option. We own Oce Arizona 640GT, Arizona 360XT and VUTEk H2000 Pro. In terms of speed and quality VUTEk dominates, but there is some limitations. Look up my thread about this here...
  2. caldera or onyx? Please help me decide.

    We use Caldera only for Mutoh machines and evertything runs smooth. Onyx sometimes hangs on sam EPS files, but it's rare issue. For us the best RIP Software in terms of speed and ease of use is MIMAKI RasterLink PRO5/6 that is bundled with printers. It's of course not so sophisticated as...
  3. caldera or onyx? Please help me decide.

    I would rather go for Caldera it's much faster then Onyx. It runs on top of Linux that is free. We use Caldera for our ValueJet machines (3 printers) and we run them from one PC. Also we have Onyx Thrieve which is bundeled with our Oce Arizona machines (2 printers) and I must say that it's...
  4. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    As we bought machine in march each day of operation brings new expierence. We ran machine for 32h ours non-stop printing (only stopped to refill ink tanks) and zero issues. It was very pleasant surprise. Other good things: - Cleaning of print heads is much faster then on Oce Arizona; -...
  5. New flatbed advise

    If you go for Oce Arizona machine you should be aware Canon does not provide print head warranty even on the first year. We one two machines Oce Arizona 360XT and Oce Arizona 660GT. And I can say that so many issues we had with 660GT machine we never had before ever. 360XT runs like tank. We...
  6. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    I remembered few other thing that are worth noting: - VUTEk UV lamps ar cheaper; - Arizona lamps by the book run 600h, but you can use them actually more then 1000h; - VUTEk machines requires compressor which is not included with printer of course. And everyone with air compressor knows that...
  7. VUTEk H2000 or Oce Arizona 660 GT?

    We have both machines and I can say it`s better to have both of them, as Ariozna being true flatbed with combination with hybrid. But in functional terms Oce Arizona ir more versatile. One of the biggest disadvantage is that Canon (Oce) does not provide warranty for print heads! They do...
  8. MIMAKI JV5-160S Magenta problem

    Problem solved. We configured density of magenta channel and problem solved.
  9. JV5 what's your thoughts?

    We have JV5 and I have mixed feelings about it. Drying problem is very problematic, because you have to apply external drying which consumes lots electricity. Also takeup system is very problematic, we have to modify it by ourselves to make ti work better. Speed + quality is good, but drying and...
  10. How much money do people make in this business?

    We started business in recession in 2009 with one MIMAKI JV33-160 printer. No we have 3 printers, ploter, laminator, cutter and all infrastructure to maintain printing house. The crises maid many people VERY strong. This year we made 380k usd. In out country printing prices are very cheap...
  11. Mutoh Blizzard 90" or Roland AJ-1000

    Hello! We are looking in to buy a new printer. But we can't decide. One is Roland AJ-1000 (and then they provide upgrade to AJ-1000i) + 3rd party JetBest ink cartridges and the other one is Mutoh Blizzard 90" with MS+ OEM inks (OEM Bulk system). Main point why is hard to decide is pricing and...
  12. MIMAKI JV5-160S Magenta problem

    Hello everybody! One of our production machines are MIMAKI JV5-160S. And we have problem, that JV5 uses more magenta on the prints then it should be. This happens with 720x1080dpi resolution and above. Using lower resolution profiles 720x720dpi or lower then problem almost disappears. Config...
