thanks /hr/

I figured I'd finally post a wide format printer in action rather then just saying i had one and asking for shit to print with it.

All right, nice printer. Congratulations! Would you mind me asking for it's price?

Also please upload the picture currently printed on this photo... Thank you.

depends on what you wanted it printed on, and what overlam you were to use if any.

inside, I'd print it on some cheap oracal and apply it to foamcore (gatorfoam if you have kids). Im not sure on the cost but Im thinking the material is going to run $1.50 a square foot, then double the cost of materials when the guy sells it too you.

I work for a sign, decal, and car wraping shop. I run two 64" Mutohs and two cutters every day. Wasatch owns SAi, incase you were wondering which rip software to get.

See the way they get you is, they sell you the printer dirt cheap and then screw you on the cost of the ink cartridges. Nevermind, I suck cocks.

Not sure about the OP, but the solvent printer I'm using costs around $1300 for a 6-pack. So, around $216 per cartridge. Thing is, my cartridges run for nearly a full month before I have to swap them out with damn near non-stop printing. In the long-run, it works out because of job cost. I can clear that $1300 cost with just ONE order, using roughly 2-3% of that ink cartridge.

It's a good investment, if you ever consider opening up your own sign/graphic/banner/print shop.

Bulk ink is the way to go if you can. A litre bottle is about 140 bucks.
If a cart is lasting you a whole month, you aren't printing very much. Tell your sales people to get off their asses.

We did over 70k last month on 1 set of cartridges.
We're set to do more than that this month.

That printer runs 7 hours a day, 5 days a week.

If needs be, I'll have my salespeople stay on their asses. That way, we'll keep up the trend.

Sound good, wise one?

I prefer my Epson 11880 over the HP's out there. Besides the Epson, I also have an HP5500PS stocked with UV inks (which I despise) and an HP500PS.

Onyx has been a godsend for the fine art stuff. How does OP like the 8000? Does color repro well?

usualy 120dpi @ 100% size is a minimum. 150 is enough most of the time. 200-250 is great. more is quite useless.
but better use vectors if you can

HP-s suck ass. Buy Spitfires, or Colorspan insted. At least they don't want to cheat you out of your money, like the HP's shitty ink refill system. Those little chip "errors" are not by accident...

Thank God for good old Asian hack-technology.

But what does that translate into in terms of pixels? E.g. does anything below 4000px at that physical size look like shit or what?

150 dpi is 150 pixel per inches
if you've got a picture of 4000 pixels at 150dpi it will measure 4000/150=26.6 inches

if you want a picture like 50' it will be 4000/50= 80 dpi.

you can simulate this with photoshop in the menu image size removing resampling if you need

Thanks a lot for that, I suppose I should have been able to figure that out but your reply helped put it into place. I've had some hires maps and such that I was thinking of getting printed but wasn't sure if the dimensions would be large enough.

Actually speaking of this, anyone know of any good online sites to order posters (not in bulk) from? Any recommendations at all in that regard? I knew of one years ago and can't find it again.

Does anybody know the website that splits up a high res picture and lets you print it out in squares and then put them all together to make a complete picture?

You mean circles. Google for 'rasterbator'.

I used a program called Posteriza to split up pictures and print them out. I hated the circles thing from rastorbator.
