Discontinued ink for my flatbead

[ADVANCED DISPLAY]

So, I was informed recently that EFI is discontinuing the ink for my rastek flatbed printer. I found a third party ink that seems legit (company down in Miami) we’ve got a backup container for each color but one at the moment so, I’m hoping when the time comes that ink will work as advertised.
However, if the worst should happen and I’m forced to replace the flatbed, what are some favorites you all would recommend I look at? I’m not sold on another EFI. Roland has some intriguing models that I saw. I’m open to suggestions.

Leave the Rolands alone. Their newest flatbed is a rebadged Ricoh. The older rolands are good print quality but super slow. HP R series is super overpriced and one of the most expensive for inks/consumables per sq ft.

Depending on budget, the best, in my opinion from seeing the machines in person and researching the market are the Digitech flatbeds. 2nd choice is Vangard. They have great print quality as well but shorter warranties and for a “budget” option, the Epson V7000.

Digitech has very inexpensive inks that are made in the USA, and they have a crazy long 5 year warranty. No service contracts and the print quality is amazing. The entry level 5x10 can be upgraded at anytime to their top of the line 5x10, boasting over 60 sheets of coro per hour. If you contact them, talk to Troy Lesher. He knows his stuff and gave me a lot of information about different things to consider in a flatbed.

Digitech makes a solid printer. We are very happy with ours. They run flawlessly 8-10 hours a day and ink costs are excellent.

Might want to contact Nazdar about inks. They manufacture a lot of inks for many different printers.
