DX5 head

There are quite a few DX5 heads available. They all have different machines they were built for, get the wrong one and the plastic manifold on top will melt from the solvents

 

[docfear]

thats what i'm scared of, because the first one a saw, it said Waterbase DX5
then talking to the guy , he told me he had both, Waterbase and Solvent

so how can i be sure ??

thanks

Be careful when it comes from 3er party parts...

What if that new head blows you mother board?

 

[docfear]

you are scaring me now, could it really blow my board ?? its just that i cant afford the original at 1895 $ compared to 570$

any one else has tried these compatible heads ???

Thanks

I have a question!

If you can't afford to replace serviceable parts on your {or anyone's} $12,000-$25,000 printing machine, how did you get in this business in the first place?

Would you, did you, buy a vehicle to use in your business and then NOT EXPECT to have to do repairs or service on a regular basis?

In MOST cases replacing a print head comes after running thousands of feet of print media through the machine.

Did we forget to sell it with a Profit { I know that is a dirty word to some people} involved in the transaction. That profit should also include a small percentage for overhead and maintenance on the equipment.

first of all, this is a family business, for the past 30 years and yes i would not mind spending 2000$ on a print head, except we did not use the machine that much (long story..), so i would expect to print much more before i change big parts...so i guess i'm out of luck

thanks for you comment Vinylman
