Is it possible to convert a Epson SureColor P800 printer into an eco solvent printer? I've read on this forum that it is possible but I don't know if its reliable. I usually have small signage to make and 17" format is all I really need.
I'm looking for an inexpensive but reliable way of printing on vinyl and then laminating instead of subbing the work out. The print shop that I use uses a latex printer and I'm pretty happy with them. The reason why I'm asking isn't necessarily for cost saving solution but rather turnaround time that it takes the print shop.
Please let me know if there are other printer solutions that you have experience with. Or if this question has already been answered somewhere else, please attach a link so that I can be educated on this topic. My needs don't require a $6,000 machine at this time.
EDIT: After doing a little more research, I'm finding that it probably isn't a very viable solution to use an [FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]aqueous based print head on eco solvent inks. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, lucida grande, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Any recommendations on a viable printer? I don't necessarily need it to cut the vinyl. I just need a good printer.[/FONT]
