Well in my opinion, Latex would be ideal for all your basic signage needs. I honestly feel that I can print onto more substrates than other ink technology and all the pros with Latex outweigh the negatives in my mind.
I've printed stuff months apart, fixing panels on vehicles after they had an accident and the colors matched perfectly.
I've heard people have odd matching colors when paneling also, but I've never experienced it and latex is one of the go tos for vehicle wraps... so I'm going to presume its somehow user error (Switching out ink / print heads without doing a color calibration after, etc).
Ours is perfect colors everytime.

interesting that someone who knows absolutely nothing about HP latex printers is answering questions from someone who is asking if he should buy one or not.
heads on this machine, the one he is asking about, the one I OWN and use daily can be purchased from GRIMCO for $137.43, I purchase mine from ebay for about $115
ink for this printer can be purchased from GRIMCO for $135, I buy mine from ebay for about $120.
These are numbers from someone who uses the printer he was asking about, not making up numbers from some imaginary friend. I guess your friends lie to you.

While I'm not an HP Latex fanboi for other reasons (I own a 310), this pricing is true, heads are $130 USD and take about 2 or 3 minutes to change when needed and ink recently went up from $125 to $135 for 775ml. The other consumable is the maintenance cartridge which is just under $200 USD.

We have four latex models that we work with in our Experience Center. The 260, 335 print and cut, 360, and a 560.
I know you said you were looking at the 315, were you looking at the printer alone or the Print n Cut solution?
Also, if you are wanting to have a take up roll I would suggest looking at the 335 model.
If you would like some sample prints done so you can see them first hand, let me know and we can arrange for that to happen.

The take up reel came with my printer. (HP 315) They tell you it's a thousand dollars extra but if you tell them your going to buy it from someone else they will throw it in for free. They can't mark down the printer but they can mark down the take up unit!

We have an HP Latex 280, 360, and 1500. Most of the time they run great, but I would recommend a service plan after your warranty runs out. My biggest criticism is their unreliable service, even with the plan in place. They have poorly trained service techs, are often out of stock on parts, and frequently do not show up to repair in the 24-48 hours they promise.
