    hi all
    went to sign uk for a look
    and decided on the VS-640i great deal from grafityp
    decided on the cmyk cmyk set up
    anybody running one and has per sqm print costs
    any feedback
    our 540 cadet is still going strong (its up for sale )
    but decided the extra width and speed should open new doors
    looking forward to next weeks delivery

    Hi, Dereck,

    We run one of those. Its a Roland, so it works…. We have the CMYK LcLm setup.

    Ink consumption is the same as any other Roland Ive had. So it should be the same as your Cadet.

    Speed (with our ink setup) is roughly 4 square metre per hour. Surprisingly slow, since even the old SP managed 3. With dual CMYK it should be faster, though.

    I must say, the older generation SP540v is still my favourite printer. They keep on and on and on – the harder you work them, the less problems they give. The Cadett is the same machine. You will miss it…..
