Printing in Zurich Switzerland

[sharadn]

I have the good fortune to be married to a Swiss woman and am retired. As such we are spending a lot more time in Switzerland than when I was working. I have a 44" HPZ3200 in the states. I rarely used it up to 44" before this year but was asked by a gallery to make some 30x45 and 40x60 prints. So after having the printer for about 10 years I finally used it to it's full potential. I would like to buy a printer to use here in Switzerland and am thinking after this experience with the gallery to buy another 44" model. I know that I could buy one at Digitec.ch. Any other suggestions? Since I am completely familiar with the HPZ3200 I looked around to see if I could buy a used one here in Switzerland but did not see any possibilities. I would also consider to ship one over here if we decided to bring some of our household goods here as well. I am open to suggestions. TIA

No idea about printing and Digitec/Galaxus seems the one shop to sell them. I would try to contact specialized shops like Prophot AG (https://www.profotshop.ch) or maybe (not sure about this one) Fuchs (https://www.fotovideo.ch/) to see if they have any idea.

Sorry I can't help you more.

Thank you for the suggestions

There is Cultural Center in Zürich where you can hire a wide format Canon 4600.

In Adliswill there is a pro studio for digital printing. TriColor. No connection with both though.
Just the result of a recent email exchange with someone and a son living in Swiss for five years now.
Ended my shop in The Netherlands recently and with two Z3200's at a total of 31 years in age, I wonder whether it is wise to keep one running just for myself. Enough spare parts though.

Ernst, op de lei getypt.

Still working on getting a printer. How about paper?

[sharadn]

I did find and buy a 44" HPZ3200 printer on Riccardo. All inall it looks to be in nice shape but it has some clogged heads and needs a belt. I have the same printer in the US and have done some repairs including a belt replacement. Since I did purchase it I am now obligated (to myself) to get it up and running. I am not too daunted by this task. I have watched Bob Werts video and also read through Mark Linguists' site more than a few time. He mentions a video by Bryan Glynn for replacing the belt. I cannot seem to find it anywhere? I probably don't need it but I like to gather as much information as possible before starting a project. Does anyone know where I could find this video? TIA

I replaced the belt on the printer but I am now getting a paper jam message 86:01. There is no paper in the printer.  I cleaned and oiled the carriage rail and cleaned the encoder strip. The menu is in German and I speak English. Is there a way to change the language from the service menu? It will not boot all the way to the main menu.

Hi, the Service Manual says 86:01 is that the carriage can't move "most likely due to a paper jam", but that wouldn't apply in your case, where it's most likely due to something not being re-assembled correctly after the belt replacement. And if it won't boot into the main menu then I suspect that's the issue. The SM gives a number of things to check for that error code.

I don't see any mention of language settings in the service menus, but you can probably just use the SM as a translator to work your way thru the menus. (Or an online translator.)

You'll probably have to walk-thru your belt replacement again until you discover what's amiss as there's probably a few things that could prevent the carriage from moving properly: attaching the belt to the carriage; the carriage bushing; putting the belt in the tension roller; reconnecting the ribbon cables; etc are things that come to mind.
