Bigfish has a good point re: outgass...but I doubt anyone here sticks to the manufacturer recommendations on outgass;) Also I've been hearing a lot of de-lamination issues lately from friends with latex printers. Anyone else hearing that?

Go with an Epson. Better speed and quality, less maintenance issues from what I've been hearing about the latex models lately. Best thing to do is have a dealer who sells both (there are many) do comparative print samples for you so you can see speed/quality and make the call for yourself.

Spot on. If you want the sharp quality to compete with someone like Mule, latex isn't gonna cut it. HP Latex is like watching standard definition TV...it was/is good until you see HD TV. Get yourself a printer with a smaller picoliter drop size if you want to do stickers/decals/small type.

Had both...interestingly the Epson is actually cheaper ink cost per square foot when you consider how much ink the Latex needs to use to make a decent quality image. They both have ink usage calculators so your dealer should be able to easily do that comparison for you (since you probably won't...

What we liked about the Epson was the rewards program where you can earn points towards discounted/free service plans for 5 years of coverage. Also, the speed and ability to laminate same day is really nice.

Wait, am I reading this right? I have to use 150% ink density or more to get good color on the 560 or 570? Doesn't that completely remove any ink cost savings I am supposed to get? Do most people run at that high ink density?

I'd argue the Epson S80s and previous generation S70s are the most popular 64" machines for canvas wraps over the past few years. From reading this thread it's easy to see the common theme that Epson quality > Latex. When I was in the market for a new machine I had samples done on both (and...

I'd recommend you try installing the Onyx RIP that came with the machine to see if you like the results. From what I've heard, Onyx and Caldera perform well with the Epsons.

Make sure you do the feed and head alignments for each media. That should remove the ghosting. Epson has a program called Control Dashboard that should've been installed with the printer. You can download profiles directly from Epson's server and that should hopefully take care of your issues.

What's the usable speed on both? I hear the S60600 was pretty fast but also about half the price of a M64...

If you're looking for the best quality in this segment, the S80600 is your answer. Vehicle wraps, decals, canvas....from what I've seen the S80600 is going to give you the best image/color. The stock profiles that are included should be more than enough to blow your local competition away.

The Epson S-Series printers include over 100 profiles with the included Onyx RIP and have a media server you can download many more profiles from based on media type or manufacturer. The profiles are created by Epson to optimize performance with the S-Series. If you're looking to buy soon, I'd...

The new Epson SureColor S80600 lets you swap between white and silver. White opacity is really good and image quality has been great so far. They have a red and orange ink which really takes the quality above what latex and other eco-sols can do. Haven't had any take-up issues so it seems...

New generation Epsons....completely new build, best image quality out there, fastest production speeds. From what I've heard they are workhorse roll-to-roll machines and our S80600 (CMYKLcLmLkOR) with switchable white/metallic has been rock solid. Latex are great machines, no denying that...

Check out the Epson S80600. Has Silver ink but you can freely swap between white, silver, or a cleaning cartridge in the 10th channel. Gives you the ability to print without having silver ink installed until you have a job that requires it.

New Epsons Check out the new Epson S-Series. From what we've seen, best image quality available, fast speeds, same day lamination. epson.com/sseries

Have you tried using Epson's new control dashboard software to download profiles directly from Epson?
