I actually like the trolley approach - good move!

I have a Ryobi heatgun in the pic. No meth anywhere and I get my work done right. Heatguns all blow and break, so the cheaper ones do just fine. A good craftsman never blames his tools...and all that, right? That being said, I wouldn't spend a single cent on any of their other tools :)

I prefer a soft toolbag, and instead of a tool-belt I use a repurposed fly-fishing sort of jacket.

Xrite all the way in my opinion. I have an old i1 pro that still works just fine. They're never cheap, so just be ready to swallow that cost, but it's well worth it.

Maybe I should start bitching about the times me and other members take their time to answer qeustions and then get zero feedback or response from the OP? Stop complaining and sitting around waiting on this forum to be of service to you, and further the search yourself. There's loads of field...

The ink problems ran the entire gamut. Supply issues, ink that would go "gummy", ink blowing printheads, ink not curing, ink fading, inconsistant colour. It just became totally unmanageable.

You might not like this, but it's proabbly time to get a new machine. I know this is a hard pill to swollow, but the ongoing pains that third party inks bring is going to drive you mad and cost you money. It worked for me for some time, but the inks became a massive issue. My conversion back...

We installed an iEcho TK4S and I really can't fault the quality for the price based. It certainly doesn't have the polished finished when compared to Zund's build quality and software, but the machine and tooling on it is perfect for a first machine to see you through the next 4-5+ years.

At a quick glance it looks like the main difference is the large capacity ink bays, which can hold up to 2.22 litres per colour in CMYK. It can also be configured for light colours, which my XFs can’t do. I also think you get some tech extras like being able to connect with Roland’s iPad...

3mm square marker for roll-cutters

I also do what Lindsey does for lightboxes, but only when customers are willing to spend the extra money.

I suspect this might not be possible at end-user level. While the main boards look identical, there are dip-switches on the it that need to be set to the SC-540 profile (easy enough), but I think the firmware loaded on the board only accommodates for a few models, depending on the firmware. So...

Aha, I get it. Wil give it a whirl next week I’m back. Thanks balstestrat.

I've gone through the service notes an no mention. Is this gonna cost me to get the solution from you, or do I need to dress up in something provocative and seduce the answer out of you LOL ! We're getting in another XF-640 and I'm seriously considering converting the one to a hexachrome...

That's great news, but where did you find this info? Been looking and I couldn't find anything
