  • Anyone here have a Inca Eagle H or 44? Or know much about…

    them?

    I’m taking a look at some of the used prices and they seem quite attractive? How good is the quality on the Eagle H?

    Also what is the approximate foot print of this machine? 10′ x 19′ (not including safety area?)

    Thank in advance!

    hmm. i haven’t seen this machine, I have seen the onset/spyder/turbo and acutty but i dont think inca makes it now, so i see what you are thinking. I suspect there isn’t many around as printers seem to only sell in low volumes.

    I have seen the Spyder with twin CMYK heads, I would have a look at it if you are looking at volume as it does overtake the Turbo in the speed stakes.

    Thats true, but it also over takes the Eagle in price by 500%. I’ve seen several Eagle’s for around the $60k mark, and spoke to a few shops that have them installed an running daily with little to no problems.

    They can reach up to 1000sq ft/h (so I’ve read) and the colour gammut is respectable with the 6 color.

    The Spyders start at around $300k, and through the quality is better, I can’t justify that cost up front.

    I’m actually thinking of getting the Eagle for "high volume" digital jobs, and getting an Accuity for my roll to roll, and other higher quality pieces I need to print. The two machines combined would still be cheaper than just one spyder.
