Jetrix KX6 vs HP FB750

[BigPrint]

Hi,

First post so hello everybody.

We're a large format / sign / display company and are looking to buy a direct to substrate printer.

We're looking at the above 2 models as they fit within our budget, I just wanted to get some subjective opinions on which one to chose. We realise they're quite different machines and there probably isn't a right or wrong answer, we're just trying to gather as much opinion as possible to help us make a decision.

Jetrix is a true flat bed with a roll to roll option
Max sheet size = 2440mm x 1220mm
Max roll width = 2.2m
Cheap ink
Permanent white ink
2 year warranty and subsequent years at £6.5K per year
Very good quality print
Roughly 2 to 3 times quicker than the HP for similar quality

HP is a 2.5M wide hybrid
Max sheet size = 2500mm x as long as you like
Max roll width = 2.5m
Better ink adhesion than Jetrix
White ink involves switching out the Light Cyan and Light Magenta inks (£40 each way)
1 year warranty and subsequent years at £10K per year
Print quilty not as good as the Jetrix
Has to be slowed down to print without banding

It's a tough one because we're torn between the quality and speed of the Jetrix vs the unrestricted size and better ink adhesion of the HP.

They're the same price to buy but the Jetrix running costs are lower.

Anyone have an opinion? What would you do?

Thanks.
