  • printer/cutter or both?

    Posted by David_Evans on 18 March 2007 at 21:14

    Hi all,

    After a few months of deliberation ive decided to buy a printer, i have worked with a jv3 before but would prefer to go ecosolvent due to ventilation. Have been thinking bout the versacamm for its print and cut. or would i be better to go for seperate units. What do you think? is there an alternative to the versacamm?

    Your thoughts would be appreciated.

    Cheers Dave

    Hi Dave,
    I have always thought separate units, if you have a big print job to do, on a combined unit you have essentially got two units tied up, or visa versa big cut job you can’t print 🙄 if one breaks two break it’s like combined tv and recorder if one doesn’t work neither does the other eggs in one basket springs to mind I am sure you will get lot’s of opinions so the choice is yours basically.

    Hi Lynn,

    Thanks for your feedback.I know what your saying. I already have a 610mm plotter which i will be keeping thats sort of why ive been thinking of the versacamm, but then again a larger cutter and printer would be nice as i think i will have the space by the time of purchase and it would give me alot more options. (just expensive!)

    Cheers Dave

    Is there not an ecosolvent ink for the JV3? If I were in the market for a printer the Mimmaki would be my choice but I would want it with a mild solvent.
