Second Hand Solvent Printers..Which one?

Nowadays Most of my friends have struggle for earning enough profit however they are not able to invest for new technology printers due to cash problems and most of them try sell old printers and get some cash for initial payment.


 Problem is Second hand Solvent printers not all of them can buy and sell.

I recommend to buy these solvent printers if u need to:


1.HP Scitex Grandjet orXLJET: Reliable printer


2.Efi Vutek 3360 : Reliable printer

3.DGI Polajet:

4.Eurotech S6:

5.Roland printers

6.Mimaki Printers

7.HP Designjet printers



I dont recommend to buy any second hand chinese printers ...

If you want to buy 5m wide .Solvent printer...

The biggest is always best as the mental of the East people at the ancient times.

This is still continue in our wide format printer market,East countries like to have wider printers.

But when printer getting wider,then problems coming wider and bigger.

If you are looking forward 5m.Solvent based printers,many aspects are important.

Mechanics,Electronics,Ink delivery system,adaptation,Softwares,Ink and plus media handling.

When I checked many printers in the market carefully? I can recommend these printers.

1.Agfa Gandinnovations 5224: It is highly precision with SL128 spectra heads, electronics powerful and little complex to service problems but it is getting 9.5 from me from the 10 points overall.Price is expensive which is over 200.000 USD.



2.Efi Vutek 5330: It is also precision however Old concept of Carriage printer vice versa to gravity with Spectra or old Hitachi Koki heads are disadvantages.Price is always high over 200.000USD .But it is a big brand name. Due to carriage prints vice versa this printer get rank of 9 over 10 .



3.Flora Runjiang: Iit is one of the known Chinese brand and cheap products from Far East. They have several models.They push hardly Spectra Skywalker with 5m with price effective , and pushed spectra nova heads appeared in Dubai show 2009.However Skywalker heads are serious problems and Nova256 has serious bending problems seem that machine.Motion precision is highly lower than previous printer.Most effective issue of this printer is Cost.Service is another weaker point. It is much better other Lowest quality Chinese printer however This printer can get 5 points over 10.It is not my first choice to buy.

4.Teckwin:It is one of the best known Chinese printer in Europe and USA. Company had 5m spectra and ricoh printer.They have nice precision motion and body system.And price is cheaper than big players but expensive than other chinese players. Only weaker points are unstable motion control plus service support.This printer can get 6 points over 10.

5.Eurotechprinters: It is 5 years old Turkish printer manufacturer,They use extreme high quality mechanicals,and precisions with spectra nova 256.They have better price than known brand however they have also limited service capability is the weakest point. If you want choose Far East product ,We highly recommend Eurotech but If you can able to afford others,Eurotech is an good alternative.This printer can get 7.8 points over 10

6.Hp Scitex Xljet: It is very well known on the market with good stable quality and service.However it is using oldest xaar128 technology .Price is not effective when Eurotech gives same with Spectra Nova heads. But HP is an HP always....You cannot miss it...I can give 7 over 10 to HP Xljet.

Other 5m Solvent printes are highly not recommended anyone if you dont want headaches.

If course you known, What you pay is what you get !!!

To Choose Solvent Based Inkjet Printers Tips

We live in such a strange world .Black and White is just two colors and good example that lives and outereffects to ours.Since 2 years everyone in the world suffering through financial global crysis which caused with several reasons.And then I think myself ,after 13 years in inkjet market,What is Good and what is bad in this life?

It is short life. I dedicate this blog to help all wide format printer family in the world to help.

This is only my experiences and my thoughts ,however %95 are correct.

Secrets,lies,promotional activities ,marketings, oems, sales lies.....

Lets say , Tell a lie ,make a sell this is today world ...

If you will buy a newer wide format solvent inkjet printer, you should be decide many things?
you should known what is good and what is bad?
1.What you looking for? High speed&High quality,pricewise printer price,ink price?
you should decide, if you look all the things together you should be ready to pay high value to your printer from known brands.
other brands will give you headache...
2.What you want to pay?
If you want to buy UV printer ,and you would like to make %50 lower investment comparing to Japanese well known brands,like mimaki ,roland and mutoh, and go china..Then you must be pioneer.Because from my experience, Chinese people very helpful and nice, however products quality stability on long run are not stable. You must be careful.
3.Ink is just a ink?
If you are from a country who print 24/7 mostly and quality is low issue, and durability outdoor is not an issue, then yes ink just a money for you, but if you look for good quality ,inkjet blood is INK and go for Good ink supplier.
Now nearly every country there is domestic inkjet ink manufacturers.
4.If i want to buy printer smaller than 1,52cm wide ,which printers i will choose?
Definetely ,I will stay if it is UV ,then Mimaki,and Roland,Mutoh,if it is Eco Solvent choose again Mimaki or roland may the first choose, if i will look newer technology HP Latex printers and new Epson printer is the key. If i will look over 1,52cm to 2,5m,then there is good UV printer manufacturer in Europe such as Grapo(chech rep.),Neolt(italy),Eurotech(Turkey),Sun(russia) with reliability and reasonable pricing.If we go Solvent printers then Neolt,Eurotech will be choose middle class and reliabily with price.Of course Mimaki,Roland,Mutoh and HP is always knocking door with financial solutions and known brand.For Wider products ,You may choose DGI,Keundo(S.Korea),Eurotech(Turkey),Hp Scitex,Efi Vutek,Agfa Jeti,Durst...From the DGI to Durst pricing and quality is getting slighly increased.

Bad doesnt mean to suit your application, and good doesnt means always it fits you.
You known your application and country.

It is always recommend from me to go many Shows,specially Fespa Digital,Fespa 2010(munich) to see new printers and ink developers .

World is the smallest place after internet and holy google entered in our home .....

I will keep you writing about the wide format inkjet ...
