Hi Peter

Printmax : Click Here
Granthams : Click Here

Printmax, I cannot fault. very efficient it what they do and always see our site members right.

I haven’t yet bought from Granthams, but they have been around as long as I can remember!

p.s. great to see you back on the board’s mate!

I’ve dealt with Grathams for 20 odd years, can definitely reccomend.

Thank’s guys, as I’m being forced into buying another printer due to HP withdrawing support for the 26500 even though it’s in perfect working order and would of lasted for years, I don’t quite have the full asking price for a new one. So I was hoping to find an ex-demo or nearly new HP365, Yes I hear you all saying why go back to HP? Well, I love latex, I love how easy it is and how quick it is so I have no choice.
If they do this to me again it will be another story though. 👿

Hi Peter,
Give Papergraphics a try too. I got my 365 from them in January & very impressed with their communication & service & they beat Granthams & everywhere else I tried on price. They organised shipping to Republic of Ireland & flew an engineer over to install & get me up & running all cheaper than anywhere else! :praiseyou:

Have to say I’m impressed with the 365 over the 26500 too. I only realised how worn & old the 26500 was when I started using the 365. It definitely uses less ink & electric too & the scratch resistance is way better meaning you really don’t have to laminate everything. The only thing so far I was a little disappointed in was I had the impression it ran cooler but being sat in front of it when it’s printing a long run on a warm day is like being in Greece on a breezy summer day 😆 😆

You do also tend to need to feed the media a little way through the curing zone before you start printing otherwise it can catch the top with the leading edge & either smear the ink before it starts drying or pucker up on the platen & end up with a head crash. A bit of a pita but once you’re in a routine of doing it it’s no problem really.

I also had an email from HP about 2 days ago about current new offers of 3k trade in & 2k discounts so it would be a good time to be looking.
