What do you recommend, HP 630 or 365?

[Sergio GP]

Hello, we are looking to add a new printing plotter to the workshop. We have an HP 360 which gave us very good results. We wanted to continue with the same HP line and the sellers offered us the new HP 630 line. Like all sellers, they defend the virtues of the equipment and it has no defects. The question is:
Is it good to opt for a relatively new machine on the market that is not well known and with 4th generation inks or go for a 365? With the purchase of a 365 we would have unified inks and heads that are the same as for the 360. I listen to your opinions and experiences. Thank you.

What are your downsides with the 365? If none, then get a another.

This is a discontinued device, so by investing in it I would be buying a plotter that will be disposable in a couple of years. And to make things more difficult, a 365 is being offered to me at a higher price than the 630.

Then it makes no sense. Get the 630.
Anywhere else 365 should be half the price of 630.

Hardwareplattform of 630 is used in several products (700,800,Z6pro,Z9pro) and at actual stage it behaves stable. Gen4 inks are common since several years and have the advantage of the overcoat which can be unchecked if substrate is laminated. Small text is printed way better thanks to new nozzle design. In addition you have the tracking wheel and get rid of the OMAS. You have spindleless substrate loading,
The only disadvantage is the missing colorspectro. But most customers didn’t use it. Doublesided printing is little bit tricky, but possible. And you can’t add a mesh kit.
Anyway, I would go for the 630.
