yes newer printers could have cheaper inks. As older printers get replaced and less people are buying the older ink formulations the cost will go up as they are not making as large of batches.
We buy ours direct from EFI. You can go here https://communities.efi.com/ssoLogin and set up an account. I just email a PO in to inkjet.support@efi.com
3551 is a intermediate removable film. You need a good cast vinyl for this. I would still thicken the lines up some but for this I would use cast vinyl. Proper cleaning and install is critical here as well. You are saying that is the only vinyl you have on hand but you can order a few yards...
not sure if it was a setting or not because we didn't select it but running flexi on our summa and it stays at the end of the job and does not roll back to the starting point.
not sure if the 170 has profiles. the 570 probably does as it is run using the Epson Edge software. Any profiles for the 570 woudl not work on another pritner as they can only be read by the Edge software. That is the risk taken when converting printers that don't have a rip program.
I would not consider those Mimaki machines fast by any means. They do print good though. We run a 6042 MKIIE and a 3042. We also have a inkcups X5T that prints 4-5 times faster.
We had our electrician install a surge protector on the panel. I will hit that and protect all circuits. It covers the whole building instead of doing each individual device.

We laser cut the raised lettering and use a Xenetech to punch the holes for the braille and hand punch the beads. No where near 1.5 hours to make 1 sign, maybe 10-15 minutes max.
I don't wear gloves for anything from roll to roll printing/laminating, and flatbed printing. Been doing it for about 15 years and don't have any issues. If your hands are clean you should be just fine without.
They would have to tint the windows first then you would apply the graphics on top of that. It will darken the prints but you would lose the silver reflective properties putting it behind the graphics.
