Support is zero from HP and parts have gone to nearly nill as well - I repaired one in February, had to get a simple carriage belt from England. There are sources in the US but they are crooks, wanting $250 or more for a rubber belt.
The 650C is also a heavy SOB. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Crossing Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2007 7:44 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [HPDesignJet_Printers] HP 650c print quality Hi Raymond The HP 650C Designjet, was HPs first inkjet wide format printer. Resolution is 600DPI black and 300 DPI in colour. It will be very slow printing anything- .As I recollect they did not print images very well - banding was very obvious - although this may have been due to the lack of coated papers back in those days. Support as in parts for this model is scarce here in Australia, although if you are in the US there may be a more plentiful source of used or refurbished parts. Regard David Russ Blakeman, I publish my art on EPSON 1520's and a 1290. Publishing art on canvas and archive paper. My question is, will the HP 650c print as well as the EPSON 1520 insofar as image quality and do it on canvas? I have an opportunity to get a 650c and am pleased is will do a 36 inch wide image. Please see my work on www.artflight.us. Regards and look forward to hear your comments. Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] << File: ATT00005.html >>
