on a 54" roland printer, i'm willing to bet it's not nearly as much as you think it is.

I just would like to know how you came up with the fact that using power tape is 3times stronger than hemming...

lol, I'm backing out of this one, good luck with your business. It's clear that we have different business plans in place and cater to different markets, which is fine.

I had to pay $1050 for that one cause i needed it that day, but I normally buy DX4 print heads from China for $650
You're right...stick with OEMs...this is my 4th foray into the world of 3rd party inks, not worth it.

3rd party p-n-p cartrdige vs. CISS
At $200 per week, you are burning through about 20 cartridges. Therefore, you are using about a $1000 per week in ink -or- about $118 for 1000ml/1 liter of ink. Currently, you can buy liters for $80-$100 per liter. Perhaps a CISS like Sightline suggested would be a big help/savings to you.
I would be happy to discuss the options with you. Again, I am sorry for your troubles with the recalcitrant SOLARIS cartridges.
I have no idea what your talking about, I don't weigh every cartridge, I weighed a sample of cartridges one time to check the integrity of a new vendor.
I will say this though, under normal operations Everytime I change a cartridge I will spend 30 seconds pulling $10 worth of ink out of it and injecting it into it's sister cartridge. For me that's about $200/week of ink I would otherwise throw out with the spent cartridge.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I like the idea of bulk inks but have never had luck with 3rd party inks so I'm sticking with OEMs for the time being.
Thanks though.
