  1. What should I look for before buying a used printer?

    That guy should pay you $400 to move that tank off his property properly. ...just sayin. :rock-n-roll: That was the most honest and straight forward comment you can get. But it seems like "Nothin's gonna stop you now". Go ahead and find yourself. It would be a hand-on, step by step...
  2. Sp300v print problem

    I think it's time to replace the printhead, maybe another one too soon. Anyway replace M cartridge first, next step swap 2 printheads. It helps to find the exact cause.
  3. looking for a new printer

    1. 10000 sqm is too much for such a printer, or not? I really do not know if this printer is too worn, as I have no experience with solvent printers. 2. 4800 euros is the right price or not? I really do not want to invest too much in a second hand printer and find out later that it's...
  4. Hello & Printer recommendations

    Of course Oki M64s. 1. Never ever buy a printer with an Epson printhead. EJ 640 has 2 of them, so it doubles the problem. Even Roland's latest printer VG series equipped with Ricoh printheads. 2. Oki is quite popular in the UK, I think you'd just contact Signmasters. If you plan to use...
  5. Opinion on Epson 11880 Pro 64in inkjet printer

    I just realized that you asked about gs 6000. This shop really needs serious upgrade. IMO you need more focus on its staff, cashflow, location and customer base. With those equipments you can't compete even in third world.
  6. Opinion on Epson 11880 Pro 64in inkjet printer

    That printer was good back in time, the biggest aqueous model of Epson. But now it is too old and damn slow, count as 1000 bucks. Aqueous printers tend to last twice more than eco sol printers, but when using dye ink (not pigment or sublimation inks) If this printer needs maintenance, if I were...
  7. What is wrong with Seikos garbage support and garbage heads?

    Honestly, I did not even see this printer. But I’ve had chinese 126” printer with Seiko 512 printheads for over 6 years. Last year when I sold my 2 Rolands I was about to buying Seiko M64 and collected bit of information about these printers. But I gave up because there is no aftermarket ink...
  8. CJV30-160 head issue

    just trying to find a dust free fiber free poly wipe.. who knows where to buy these? Any eye glass vision optical shop has it.
  9. What is wrong with Seikos garbage support and garbage heads?

    how much? If you have 2 exact same model printers, exchange/swap mainboards and see. If the problem still persists in the seiko #1 then replace subtank and pump. If the problem appears in seiko #2 then replace the board. Seiko printheads should last at least 3 years. I think the magenta...
  10. Nothing printing but rip shows it there

    I'm not sure too. If I understand correctly, you shrink 8"x 30" graphics down to 4.5"x12". But sides should be 3.2" when keeping the ratio. If you need 4.5x12" then you would export the original file as eps or tiff whatever then open it in Photoshop, Illy or Corel to make changes and save as in...
  11. Nothing printing but rip shows it there

    I think your reduce ratio is not proportional. Make print size on different program such as PS or CD whatever you have, save new file under different name and print.
  12. printhead nativ solution

    I assume you're comparing HP latex vs Mimaki latex. 1.Regariding the print resolution, find the quick explanation on youtube:HP Thermal Inkjet vs. piezo printheads - the technology behind HP Latex printing 2. I've never seen ricoh gen5, but it is piezo electric printhead similar to DX, STP and...
  13. Roland TrueVis

    I think TrueVis equipped with 4 Ricoh GH2220 industrial printheads. Recent years Roland lost a lot of customers due to their multichannel Epson printheads.
  14. Help- my 5500ps is dying... what to replace it with????

    ipf 8400 is better color production than z series, but very expensive to run and your profit drops significantly. Nothing wrong with z series, but if you get one you will become just another guy around the corner. 2CT media already advised you to wait for the latest and greatest latex. If you...
  15. Help- my 5500ps is dying... what to replace it with????

    I assume you're using hi quality, OEM or HP certified materials. HP universal or everyday medias work for both printers. ie 81 ink 91 ink. I use dye only 3rd party materials to D5800, pigment only materials to Z6100. Price difference is minimum x2. For example Q8916A doesn't work on my D5800. It...
  16. Help- my 5500ps is dying... what to replace it with????

    It depends on your budget. DJ 5500 is very simple to repair and parts are dirt cheap now. You could do it by yourself. If you want to upgrade try to import D5800. I own one for 8 months, it designed for using 81 ink. But I use bulk ink, it slows down to 200 sqf/h. Even that speed we often use...
