Those cartridges are massive!

Awesome vid.

This is awesome. I would love to upgrade we have a mimaki JV33-160 (for printing on exterior vinyl) and I have an epson stylus pro 10000 but its been sitting. Maybe I will try and get that fired up again. What are printing for the most part? Posters?

so much wasted space on that last roll print! I run a 9600 at a print shop that’s valuble real estate… What paper are you guys putting through?

wow, super jealous. can you get those inks refilled at Staples? jk….. i love the sound of the paper loading.

beautiful prints from a beautiful machine. love the video!

We have a smaller roll now, we were just testing on the first day with a 44″ Hahnemuhle German Etching since that’s all we had at the time.

Wonderful seing the beast in action! It must be so great to be able to do large prints in your own studio like that. Best of luck with all future prints :)

I appreciate that it’s sitting next your fridge.

I also appreciate that it sounds like a gun when loading the paper / ink.

Awesome. Hopefully this means you’ll be making some of your prints available in large format now? *drool*

yep, the first one is up now: http://studio.iso50.com

That printer looks amazing! Who wouldn’t love to have one of those around the house? I don’t think I even want to know how much the ink cartridges cost.

thats a pretty huge investment, and with the ink you will be buying and paper I was wondering what the primary use of the printer is to justify all the expense… Just to print posters to sell in your shop or at shows, or do you use it to print for clients as well? I wouldn’t think you would want to print for clients to much because you would have to charge way more to cover all the ink/paper. Especially in high qty’s.

Congrats! Looks much better than the HP’s we had at my school. I hadn’t seen that print before either, pretty sick.

damn – nice post. thanks for sharing. i, for one, am mystified by the printing process, so any insight fascinates me.

and big ups to kirk – someone to elucidate the process and workings so clearly must make all the difference in the world.

So this means we can finally order 3ft x 4ft iso50 posters, right? That’s what many of us have been holding out for. I’m prepared to pay for it, too.

Thanks for the link, Scott. Great Ghostly poster.

By the way, which debossing method/tool did you end up going with? I know you were getting creases/wrinkles before, but it looks like you’ve solve that problem. Did you get it made in the bay area? Is there a post on this topic?

Thanks!

I spy a vinyl cover for the test print.

Nice machine!

So… when are we able to buy prints in an offsize (i.e. panoramic landscape or portrait) design from thise godly printer? ;-)

But seriously, most of the time when we can buy a nice design/poster from someone, it’s usually a “standard” size like A3-esh. I would be very interested in a panoramic (like 2 A3′s in portrait above eachother for example) print of some of the things you sell :-)

Other then that… to bad you don’t live in Holland. I would love to pay you to make some prints for me and my girlfriend’s designwork!

Ok, enough with the direct-ness… congrats on the amazing printer though. I’ve seen one of the older brothers of these babies, and while the one I worked with was a tad slow, the colors were an absolute delight!

I SO want the biggest size you have. Let me save my pennies. That’s some serious, serious posterage right there. Bravo. Bravo!

I purchased one of your print 4 mounts ago and probably that one from this machine … and it is good. Good choice
