I'm currently running the HP latex 335 and thinking to get the ucjv300.
The reason is to print white and clear.
I mostly design for customer so if I can print white and clear then I can also offer something new.
My questions:
-How hard is the maintenance?
-How temperamental is this printer (especially after a year or two)?
The latex is very very reliable. I did leave it for 2 weeks and print right away after I came back.
-How much trouble do you need to go when the shop is close (holiday) and open back to operation?
-I heard that Mimaki technician need to come once a year for service and it cost a lot?
-is it consume a lot of ink for purging and cleaning?
-Do you really need to use the white ink quite often just like the old eco-solvent to prevent blocking? I won't use the white ink a lot for the first few months (need to create the demand).
-Will the white ink become milky after a while? I used to have an eco solvent roland, the white particle always at the bottom so get purged more than the liquid. Whenever I got a white job, I need to buy new ink even it was more than a half. I did shake the ink every day though.
-is the clear as cranky as white?
-Can you put more pass just on the clear so the texture really come out?
-Can the ucjv300 replace Hp latex completely? I prefer just to keep 1 printer.
-I head that the new hp latex will have white ink, how about the clear? Do you think it worth the wait? I love the UV because of the scratch resistant too.
Sorry for the long list of questions. Thanks all.
