SUHHHHHHLLLLOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
did i mention suh-low?
everything about them takes forever.
starting up.
heating up.
ripping.
printing.
you name it. they are the slowest thing i have ever experienced.
i can say one thing for my mutohs. you want to print something fast. you throw in media, hit print, and its done and done.
the hps print beautifully, but you WILL pay dearly in time/speed for it.
so far i have just over 7000 sqft of media through them with another 16,000 to go on this job. we will see how it goes.
i think i was initially off on my sq/ft print calculation though.
i estimated 80 sq/ft hour.
now that i have much more data to go off, im getting a sq/ft per hour of 102.118
much better than 80. doesnt seem like it, but when you are running 23,000 sq/ft of media, that extra 22 sq/ft per makes a difference.
this is at a 10 pass bidi high ink setting. this setting allows you to get the TRUE rich color of the file. any lower passes/ink settings do NOT produce true to file color.
oh and GB2, just for you im going to keep my avy around a few more monfs.
