first of all – what you gonna use it for?
I dont know the Mimaki one but i’m currently working on SP540 and to be honest I’m not really happy. It so much to talk about it.
Anyway 6.000 for 2 years old one for me it’s reasonable price and if you gonna use it for safety signs, bit of graphics, bit of vehicle wrapping and your customers are not expect photo quality you wont be disappointed. -
Mimaki.

Roland.

quote John Childs:Mimaki.:lol1:
i have no idea what a gx 24 is btw.. so cant really comment… its to do with business needs

Unless you are in a very specialist area, I’m not sure that business needs or intended use are that important.
My opinion is that if I am in the general signmaking business then I want equipment that will cope with any job that walks in the door.
I still say Mimaki.
