Hey all.
We use a 42" HP 5000 for our color calibrated proofs and a 42" HP SpinJet 5500 for double-sided impo proofs. (This replaced a 42" HP SpinJet 1050c that's for sale, btw. 30066 ZIP code.) We're very happy with the SpinJet 5500 because it backs up reliably, and we could care less about color on it. But, I'm tired of constantly chasing color on the 5000. We're ready for an upgrade.
So here's the million dollar question; do we go with an HP z2100 that's probably slightly slower than our 5000, or do we wait for Heidelberg to complete it's qualification of the faster HP z6100? Or, do we switch brands all together for color and go with an Epson? I've heard good things about the 9880, mainly their ability to hold color.
What do you folks think based on your experience?
Thanks in advance.
