... Mark, I always had the impression that the Hahnemuhle coatings on PhotoRag and for example German Etching hardly differ. The same 3 layer coating. -- Met...
That yave you guys who use HP large format inkjet machines experienced in the realm of tech support, and machine reliability over the longer term? john...
John, I had a few problems with my first Z3100. The HP tech support was great and stayed with the problem relentlessly, but was unable to solve it because it...
Based on reading this list, it’s my opinion that the “Z” owners have gotten great support, whereas the 130/90/30 owners have been somewhat abandoned. he...
Thanks for those insights. I'm concerned that HP has so many irons in the fire and so much squabling and bickering within their board of directors that any ...
Totally agree.... the 130 nr especially had so many firmware and driver problems, bugs, and "issues".... just incredible they were never resolved. Now my...
... The opinions on Canon's printer support differ as much as on HP's support. You only need to read the LL forum for that. The most vital part of an inkjet...

I've been looking into this a lot recently and what has scared people away from HP from what I can tell is their past abysmal record in making reliable...

A helpful tale… and very illustrative the problem. If I buy a Z, will HP stand behind it, or will they abandon Z buyers when their next new series comes out?...
... Charles, The 130 is a steal in price as I understand it. 1300 $ for a 24" printer that delivers good quality prints but doesn't have the mechanical...
Well I didn't realize a lot of these people were discussing 24" machines that cost half the price of an Epson 7800. That is a totally different story. I get...

I had a 1280... THAT was a throwaway machine. An HP DJ130 is definitely not. Most of the complaints on the list are not "breakage-with-heavy use" problems, but...
I am having a problem with printing on HP Hahnemuhle smooth fine art paper in that all prints have one or more (but never more than four) pinprick white marks...
... The (excellent) paper coating on several Hahnemühle papers shows this problem. The coating is applied in 3 layers on a coating machine and care is taken...
... Roger, This is a long standing problem. Most people refer to it as "flaking", but I have never found an actual flake, and I also think that it's actually...
Well that might be paper flaking or it might be this roller scraping situation with the Z. In any case I am totally convinced that Hahnemuhle tweaked their ...
Does the brush you use shed on the paper? I bought one of these brushes from a relaiable place and I noticed it has started to shed after light use, so I now...
A possible source for a good brush would be an art supply store--I'd look at broad, synthetic-bristle watercolor wash brushes. A typical on-line source would...
No, as I wrote you off line, you will have to look for a good one. Some of the cheapo brushes of all kinds are total junk. Pull at the bristles in the store...
I am printing on a z3100 and the Hahnemuhle smooth is the HP branded version media I use. So far I have had only one print I had to scrap. I guess though I...
I am wondering what people here use to get the curl out of their papers when printing from roll media. I currently use a 2" PVC pipe and canvas to get the curl...
I use 3" pvc pipe and a pair of sheets of plastic. I find leaving the print in the roller a couple of days does the trick. ... [Non-text portions of this...
