What would be your choice of flatbed

[Tailored Graphicz]

Hi all,

I am thinking of upgrading our Vutek QS2000 to a more recent model. I am thinking a used machine as I'm not sure my budget can stretch to a brand new one and would like to upgrade to a wider machine. I have been looking at the Vutek GS3200 but with the huge range out there I'm not sure which way to go.

What machines do you have, are you happy and what would be on your wish list.

Vanguard is certainly worth a look.

Their Kyocera-head machine won Product of the Year at the latest SGIA (printing with a Correct Color profile, I might add.)

I run a Mimaki JFX200 flatbed and am very happy with it. It's the 4'x8' model but there is also a JFX500 that has a 5'x10' bed and is faster than the JFX200.

I see they also recently put out a kyocera dye-sub printer also, wonder how their support is as a smaller company?

arosestti,

From what I know of them, it's pretty damn good. I haven't seen the dye-sub printer yet, but I expect to fairly soon. I can tell you that they've sent me to handle issues for some of their clients, and I've spent a week at their corporate office working on some issues for them, and while I was there, their tech guys were on the phone with clients, and scurrying off to the airport -- not your typical sell-it-and-you're-on-your-own operation. I can also tell you the owner, Dave, is an inkjet guy first, and is very knowledgeable and pretty passionate about it.

Like I said, well worth a look.
