    What do you guys think to the new VS640.

    Also I have a couple of question’s.

    Is the VP540 quicker in CMYK than the VS with the option CMYKLMLC + White + metallic but only using CMYKLMLC ??

    What is the waste and durability like ??

    Does anyone know anything about the VS640 I really need the billboard speed of the VS640 on generic banner.

    From what I can see here

    The VS640 is slower than the VP540i even when just printing CMYKLMLC on generic banner billboard speed is this right ??

    Note that the VS-640 comes in three different configurations. You choose what configuration you want the first time you install the printer.

    A) CMYK+LightCyan+LightMagenta+White+Metallic
    B) CMYK+LightCyan+LightMagenta
    C) CMYK

    We run our at configuration A, so I have no real life experience with the other configurations.

    Configuration A requires 8 cartridges – but as far as I know configuration C also requires 8 cartridges (dual CMYK). If so, that must also have make the printer twice as fast as running configuration B.
