Nicholas Hellmuth + FLAAR give high marks to the Scitex Vision CORjet (HP Scitex FB6700)

Scitex Vision CORjet is now named the HP Scitex FB6700

Outside Milano , Italy it was possible to inspect a recently installed Scitex Vision CORjet. Indeed we got invited to the inauguration party. I had earlier seen the CORjet in the Scitex Vision demo center outside Atlanta.

The quality of print from the Aprion printheads of the Scitex Vision CORjet is better than I would have expected. The quality is especially nice when you consider what you are printing on, such as sheet-fed corrugated cardboard packaging for upright display, or display containers, or shipping boxes.

For these years there was no other competition. Now Durst offers their Durst Rhopac , and shortly Sun will offer their FastJet (constructed by Inca). FLAAR was invited to visit the FastJet factory by Sun Chemical’s German office.

Scitex Vision CORjet is now the HP Scitex FB670

During the transition from Scitex Vision to HP it has not been easy to keep track of the new names. It is even more of a challenge to understand why such well-known brand names were buried by a new corporate identification strategy when the original names were so well known (and hence very valuable commodities).

I can remember CORjet, but my brain shuts down when it is asked to even try to remember FB6700.

Anyway, here is a rough approximation of the new names:

Scitex Vision XLjet+ = HP Scitex XL1200

Scitex Vision XLjet = HP Scitex XL1500

Scitex Vision Grandjet = HP Scitex Grand

Scitex Vision TURBOjet = HP Scitex TJ8300

Scitex Vision CORjet = HP Scitex FB6700

Scitex Vision VEEjet+ = HP Scitex FB6300

UV version of Scitex Vision TURBOjet = HP Scitex TJ8500

But no matter what corporate names they stick onto the printer, the output of this Scitex Vision printer still looks handsome. Unfortunately we have no evaluation review, and hence are not able to recommend it. We need to see a printer with enough time available to take notes, learn about it inside and out, and understand its pros and cons. This is not realistic at a cocktail party especially when the printer is only in the printshop for a week.

But we do have a report on the Sun FastJet, because we had hours of time to interview the team that designed it, hours in the factory, and complete access to whatever we needed.
