The inks have nothing to do with it :) The printer doesn't know it is running 3rd party inks so won't behave any differently

How much did you pay? Digiprint sell full price heads and also what they claim are 'seconds;

I don't give any customers credit. They pay when the order is placed , or they don't get the job done. If I was dealing with a huge company spending thousands a month regularly I may change this, but I don't have the time or effort to be constantly chasing accounts departments to get paid.

Parts are readily available for these. All the normal service parts are easy to get. There are sellers on Ebay who sell most of the other parts like boards, motors etc.. all the common things that fail.

I imagine after 3 years they have fixed it....

As it has been over a month since you first had the problem, there isn't much chance of rescuing the head now, so it will need replacing. They are around $2000. You can fit them yourself if you have experience, but are better off getting a tech to do it, so probably around $3000 - $3500 for the...

There can be good money in doing restoration work. I have done quite a bit on vintage race bikes for museums and private collections. It can be fun as often all you get is a few badly angled grainy black and white pics from the 50s or 60s and have to work out what needs to go where. It's not...

I do agree that companies should have the right to protect their designs etc.. but it is a stupid situation when for restoring older vehicles they won't give permission for someone to recreate the logo, but can't actually supply it themselves. It could also be a grey area as vehicle companies...

The difference is they do actually go after people for making one logo for someone

Just make sure Harley don't find out or they will sue you! I had a customer wanted a replica decal for his 50s bike, and Harley couldn't supply it. He contacted them and they said if anyone else made it for him, they would take legal action. Their solution was for him to put a modern, completely...

Do it properly and get the stripes painted on ! you can always use vinyl for the circles. The car is gorgeous, so don't ruin it by having something less than perfect for the stripes.

Aspic is quite similar though with a bit of tweaking

I dont think that is a font as the letters dont match each other. More likely it was just designed as a logo, so there are no other letters. What name does he want as you could probably hand draw it and then scan it in and vectorise it

The transistors should all test the same within a small amount, it does sound like one of yours is faulty.

If you hear a leak around the captop it could be air getting drawn through the head instead of ink maybe? Black ink lines can be hard to tell if they are old if there is air in them
