Think they'll notice when those big 16 head machines only have 2 heads? I could go for a crate of Gen6's about now.

I think it's a 3000? White one on their site. The head control system is just Hoson Soft boards /controllers.

The unit I will be upgrading is sold under the "Xante" brand, just uses a single XP600 head and they charge like $30K for the silly thing. The carriage does have up/down movement over the bed controlled by a simple beam-break sensor to automatically raise the print carriage. Frame kit runs...

Currently swimming in flatbeds, but about to do a 4 head conversion on a small UV flatbed for someone. Using a quad XP600 system, and will document as I go.

The keys are a simple hash check, no internet verification or anything special. Can just install as many times as you want.

The cycling that happens most often is just recirculating the white ink. Yeah, it'll do it a lot and be annoying as hell for a bit, but you'll get used to it. Honestly would've just made more sense to just use a really basic microcontroller to do circulation duty, but the thing has to boot fully...

Whatcha want for it, and what does Reece say is wrong with it? Do you want it sold, or fixed?

If missing a single channel completely, I'd go for a damper swap/check lines. If missing lines across multiple channels, I would do cap station too. Make sure cap is properly aligned as well.

Hell yeah, thanks for sharing!

Should try and go next year, I want to find a US made printer that isn't just a modified HosonSoft system in a fancy (or crappy) cabinet I can recommend to those weird customers have enough money to replace their stuff with new machines. Though, most vendor get weird when I pull out screwdrivers...

Ordering buttloads of parts, and also got ANOTHER JFX200, but that rebuild is going amazingly well. PDS equipment is great for giving me deals on printers. They treat their customers so freaking poorly, I end up getting the things for near scrap value.

Yeah, getting good bite on acrylic is tricky, something to give a bit of bite is always a good thing. Had surprisingly good luck with LUS-120, but we leave it covered until we start printing with the film.

You can find refurb heads on places like Aliexpress for like $400. It's an older printer, if you want to run a cheap head for a bit to tide you over, build your expectations as such. I've picked up used/refurb heads for under $100 for Toshiba CE4's and they had a few deflections, but it got...

In the case of adhesion promoters and primers, a little goes a long way. That said, they can make pretty small bottles for samples as well.

Caps working, still have clogged heads though. The bulk ink system on this thing is a convoluted nightmare, so going to probably bypass it entirely and just use a set of 6 bulk tanks (CMYKWClr). Guess I should start taking pictures and stuff. The thing is a beast of a printer, but the insane ink...

Check the lamp glass to see if it has buildup on it?

$107/liter isn't terrible. Which ink you using it with? LUS-150/120/etc?

But you bumped the thread, shame!

If it's Indonesia, it's a scam.

I think STS inks sells chips for only like $10 each. Coink wants like $20.
