  4. Mimaki Head Replacement Help

    it makes me wonder what the arrangement is between mimaki & a distributor/servicing rep like hybrid. my question is HOW DOES MIMAKI COMPENSATE HYBRID when a head goes bad? [and by extension how epson compensates mimaki?] do they truly SEND A BRAND NEW HEAD? or is a rebuilt head, provided by...

    SINCE YOU STILL HAVE A "PERFECT" NOZZLE CHECK, i will propose an experiment. we have a chinese knockoff of the print head doctor . when people ask me if it works, i say yes, if you use it on a good head. you might want to call the print head doctor in canada & speak to vlad, the owner/inventor...
