All the DX4 head I have purchased from Sign in China, Now called Sign in Global, have always had rank no's and are packaged the same as from Epson factory. I can no longer get them directly from Epson and I'm talk way back to the DX2 heads that we ran with true solvent. Never had a problem in 25 plus years from them.

I'm happy you requested this because we're beginning to make our first YouTube video showing how to access and service a printhead in a Stylus Pro 3800/3880/ SureColor P800 today! We had to wait for some extra supplies to arrive. Although this video will not show how we fully restore the printheads we have for sale. It will begin to show the process. I know that our methods are faster and safer for removal and servicing than most. And also made some additions to the process to make it easier and safer. I will most likely be making more videos on how to safely remove and fully service different model printheads in the future.Can you explain to us the full process of how you 'restore' these printheads along with photographic proof please

ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT, i am told sign-in-china is big enough to get Manufacturer price
i suppose the headrank would make it traceable and prove they are not MANUFACTURING and are breaking the agreement (?) and selling the heads all over the world.
Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure Epson look into any company wanting to buy heads on a trade basis from them to see if they are actually making printers as if they were just reselling it would step on the toes of their official resellers.
I know a lot of electronics sold on sign in china are seconds and factory rejects. Sometimes they will work fine, but you never know
i am pretty sure sign-in-china owns AT LEAST ONE disreputable printer manufacturer. they (sign-in-china) have a LARGE total sales revenue. it is probably pretty hard to turn them away, just because they play fast & loose with the facts. even for epson
30 years ago, one of our computer resellers ws owned by 3 VP's who left INTELto start their own company.
AT THE TIME a manufcturer paid one price (less than a dollar for video & audio chips IF THEY ERE BEING SOLDERED TO A MOTHERBOARD & 3 times a s much if you were manufacturing add on cards.
they did MILLIONS by misrepresenting what they did to intel. (until years later they were caught & served with a "cease & desist"
you can only imagine what sign-in-china is doing
I AM JEALOUS (good for them!)
