Anyone using the Oki E-64S?

I had an HP9000s in the past which is technically almost the same as E-64S except for the print heads, it was a great machine.
Recently I had a visit to OKI demo room and saw the E-64S, the output was fast, smooth and almost dries instantly.

 

The color off this machine is pretty fantastic.

 

Specially when using SX ink

 

We've got one and had it for about two years. Absolutely fantastic...fast with great colors and color consistency. Just did 22' side of food trailer and went perfect. Has built in tools to adjust for minor head issues of which we've had none. Built in help pdf's and some videos for daily and required/recommended maintenance procedures.

 

I have a M-64 and I love it. We were not planning on purchasing an OKI however after we saw the machine and spoke to the reps we were sold!! The only complaint I have is I can't find a good paper profile.

 

We had 2 HP's before we added the OKI and being able to print/lam immediately was a major concern. A week after we fired up the OKI that went away, I don't miss our latex at all.

 

HP Latex printers are like Apple products : Pretending being special and having unique technology but the truth they have so much issues that many users turned them down and got back to eco-solvent. Personnally I ordered an Epson SureColor S40610 and I don't regret having dropped the HP Latex. Don't ask me to judge a product before owning and using it, I did and the Epson is by far better in everything !!

 

Time management, we also realized that there were very few jobs that really needed the instant print lam cut process

 

I actually have 2 E-64s and 1 M-64s. Can't say anything bad from them. The only thing that sucked for us was that we were running both E-64's off the same computer so we had driver issues. We had to upgrade to Onyx Thrive. But other than that they are absolutely great machines. Colors are real vibrant. A lot better than older Mimaki and Roland that we had.
