if you want a bargain printer to get started, fj50's and fj52's are fantastic printers (print with free rips too). they are slow. but i highly recommend starting slow and cheap. there are so many more challenges other than just "printing" such as learning about color, file work, marketing, design, laminating, materials, etc. the printer in the beginning will not run very often when getting the rest of the stuff squared away. let a business justify a faster machine.
dx2 heads are below $200 US. dx4 heads are around $785 US. for heating, silicone heating blankets? heat cords used for plastic fabrication? the lamp seemed to be working fine on the video, but what kind of printer was it? water based or solvent?

I printed with my mutoh VJ 1304 with Sepiax inks.
These inks are great but a new heating system has to be fitted on printer so as to work properly and print a good work.
We liked Sepiax very much because it prints on anything ,no smell at all and very accurate printing ,as long as you will be able to heat your printing material.

My printer works with Eco solvent inks,but I used Sepiax when I installed it(first,it worked with Sepiax).
When the result did not satisfied me,my dealer/seller cleaned it for me and put eco solvent

this has nothing to do with cleaning/flushing, but for a general FYI - I called to talk with the guys out at GraphicsOne , and i got to a tech before a salesman. He said they dont have all that many sepiax printers out there right now, but what they do have is running very well. I got the impression they have more converted machines running sepiax than there own production machines. He said the only real drawback with sepiax is considerably slower print speeds due to the heating required, and i think he was talking like 30sq/hr. It's imperative that the media hit the optimal temp at the point where the ink is transferred. The other thing that was mentioned was DPI, desirable results are only at high resolution. I cant remember, but he might have said 720x720 wasnt high enough, output might appear grainey.

After reading the FLARR report I am disappointing to see very little mention of replaceable print heads in the HP L25500 and the low cost of the latex ink. These two factors alone make the latex ink worth my while. I really despise replacing solvent printheads, performing alignments and maintaining solvent printers. I wonder what the maintenance issues are with sepiax. I was hoping for a more qualitative comparison between the two types of ink and their associated machines, but it seemed more like a "sponsored" opinion.
I hope that I can convert my remaining solvent printers over to sepiax, but I will have to wait for a less "sponsored" opinion before making an educated decision.
Anyone have personal experience with the sepiax?

I'm willing to bet it has more to do with the "JV3 conversion" part, than the "Sepiax" part.
