Damper Assembly

hey comholt.. so does your demo have the new damper ***'y? If so.. did it fix the problem like promised?

We received our demo unit in April. I am told Epson spend most of May/June replacing the damper assembly on the units in distribution. We have been contacted by Decision One to have ours replaced, but it hasn't happened yet. I will post in the next few weeks after the change is completed.

I am also scheduled to have a look at the S70 with the additional color and white ink at Epson HQ at the end of the month. The specs say up to 980 sq-ft/hour. I'm excited to check it out.

Any review/end user experience with the Surecolors ?

Any review / end user experience with the SureColors. I don't find anything, anywhere.....

I just got some samples from the S70 from Graph Expo. The quality is VERY good. The white and silver look really nice too!

I've looked and looked and can't find any info from end users either.

We had a demo of one last week and the quality of the print was excellent. Lovely rich colours and very scratch resistant. We're having a second look on Monday.

I'm just a bit worried about long term reliability and the ink fading prematurely.

Generally the opinion of Epson seems to be quite negative on these forums?

I'm seriously considering a s70. Hoping Epson has gotten the bugs worked out from the last printer. It sounds like they have from what I've eard.

S70s

Just an FYI - we have two s70s on order to replace the Gs6000s we have in our shop that we are selling to other shops.

The printers are scheduled to deliver to our facility in Seattle, WA in the first week of November (about a month later than we were promised originally). The print samples we have seen are amazing and the versatility of the printer is top notch - both sign and graphic capable plus we will be printing A LOT of canvas and fabrics in a fine art mode.

I'll report more on the s70s when they are installed and running.

Is it possible to run the S70 with the white ink, but without the metallic silver? Anyone know?

 

[ProColorGraphics]

Anyone have an S70 yet?

I know someone running the 50600. They are not running with white ink, therefore, a replacement cartridge takes the place of the white slot. This has to be decided during the initial setup. I am assuming the same would apply with the 70600 series.

S70

Rumor on the street's is the S70 not available for shipment until Late Jan early Feb. The 50670 even further out.

That's what I was told too by my rep.
