Glad to see your happy with the Agfa mobilwraps as it looks like that is the machine I am swaying to buying. I didnt think you could get the varnish option with white ink though?
Unless you plan on using you white ink on a regular basis I'd say don't get it. My Agfa tech was telling me some horror storied about machines with white ink. I guess the White ink is made differently then the other colours,.
wb, we fought this issue with our Agfa, HUGE headache! In short, it was static, Agfa's cyan is more sensitive to static for some reason. The one test you need to do is see if there is tons of cyan ink on the bottom of the print head after you get drop outs. If there is it sounds like that is probably your problem. The ink literally blows onto the print head and builds up until the nozzles clog. We even had a head replaced and still had the problem. Agfa took the head back out when they saw it wasn't the issue. We had to buy an ionizer bar for ours, helped tremendously, but we still fought the issue randomly (until we got rid of the machine). Surprised noone else has had these issues, it was so distinct for us, we could throw in vinyl on the machine and print solid cyan all day, throw on corrugated plastic and lose the Cyan print head in a matter of feet!

Quick question..............
Do you guys clean before each usage or in between while printing if needed ??
Every morning, we clean the heads and do a test print. Every once in a while we'll get some spritzing and we stop, wipe it down and go on. No problems.
It always seems to be a fuzzy or something that started collecting ink that does it for us.
How well do the Agfa M2 inks hold up on a flatbed router? Cutting things like Sintra and Styrene that has been double side printed.
Do the inks have issues with chipping at the edges? Do you have to premask the board before you cut?
