  3. Thinking of replacing our 570 with a R5070.. Thoughts?

    Go with the solvent epson, the heat on the R5070 is the main disadvantage. You'll be either dealing with media getting messed up from the heat or the ink no curing/drying all the way and turning waxy. I can't really print banners on my R5070 either, if I use enough heat to cure the ink, the...
  4. News Mimaki Ink Price Increase

    The Colorado inks I receive usually have 6 months or less shelf life left. Shipment that came in today expires May next year. But the ink usually comes in 2-3 days after ordering.

    Free shipping (shipping baked into the product price) but shipping quotes you see during checkout on sites are based on product weights entered in the product details., not actual package scale weight. You could have all your weights set up in product details and then get a pretty accurate...

  10. Show Off Your Shop >> FireSprint Shop Tour

    One question about weighing the packages before you ship - why do you weigh small packages when the carriers weigh them either way and bill according to their own weight/size (dimensional weight) measurements? i have been in ecommerce for 15 years and have never owned a package scale or...

  15. Extended Gamut Ink Permanence on New Epson S9170 Printer.....

    I think its the same ink - UltraChrome GS3 - as the 80600 , only the green is new. Probably same exact ink performance as the 80600 "The latest addition to the SureColor family, the S9170 combines Epson’s renowned UltraChrome GS3 ink chemistry with an enhanced 11-color ink system"
