Hi, I am looking to purchase a used one of these printers. Asking anyone that has one are you satified with the print quality? I will need the white option will be reverse printing clear plexi 85% of the time.

Thanks Joe

I would caution against the FB series if the expectation is opaque white. Also banding and registration was an issue on clear substrates when I had one. Have someone run a file that you setup for white and take a look for yourself before making a purchase. Probably not what you want to hear because you can get one fairly inexpensively these days, but we had a lot of issues with white and double sided prints. For my money, I'd look at an EFI or possibly Vanguard, and if you could foot the lease, take a close look at the R-Series from HP, but you probably won't find those used yet since they are new to the market.
