I may be opening up a really big can of worms here, but I just have to ask..why would you want "cheap" heads for a machine that is such a key part of your business? You can't possible tell me you are going to expect "cheap" heads to run REALLY WELL?

As a sort of follow up to DRamm's question...what price would you consider "cheap"?

Mimaki Print heads

I have the Epson Solvent print heads for the Mimaki JV3
My heads are in Roland packaging but Mimaki and Roland use the same Epson heads.
The Roland heads do not include the long metal mounting bracket Mimaki uses, so you have to use the old one. Ship out of Denver Colorado

i'm currently running 3 printheads from Robert @ solventinkjet

$750 + installed myself vs. $1800/piece for tech to do it.

as far as install goes... good luck, its a pita if you don't know what you're doing. Don't forget to make a manual record of the head i.d.... i've accidentally wiped the code-sticker clean when I didn't realize i had solvent on my hands.

Seriously!!!! People are looking to chince out on the most important part of their printer, give me a break man. Buy the real stuff and have a real tech instal it for you. GET A CLUE PEOPLE!!!

+1 for Robert's heads. I have one in my machine that runs flawless. $750.00

If you really want cheap I have some old scratched ones I will sell you....

Thanks,
Kurt

I agree...I have yet to change a head on my JV-3, but when I do I will spend the money to have the Grimco tech come out and swap it out. I know it will be done right, and if it isn't done right they are responsible for making it right if they want me to continue buying my supplies from them and not go elsewhere.

ebon in china, $550 each. but shipping it high. you'd want to get a whole box of stuff, not just a single head to make it worth it. solventinkonline is my favorite for quick shipping and good pricing. and there is something reassuring about working on your own machine, just like working on your own car or house. the mystery is gone and you know your equipment.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the heads being mentioned in this thread for $750 and the OEM heads techs want to sell you for $1,500 are the exact same thing. The difference is the $750 heads cut out the middle man (Mimaki).

 

[BigfishDM]

How is this different then one of your customers buying his own machine and cutting you out as a middle man cause they can do the same thing? You think your getting a better deal by doing it yourself but I guarantee there is more to it than that.

I think the better analogy is replacing an alternator, fuel pump or whatever on your vehicle yourself vs. taking it down to a Ford or Chevy or Dodge dealership.
