    Hi All ,

    Greeting from Sri Lanka for such a great forum!

    I am designing and printing graphics for most of the Dirt Bikes, and currently using Nova Endcad , but due to the cost of the materials ink and the parts thinking to move to Roland PC600. can any one give me a guide about this printer? was it good for manufacture decals? and also the cost fact like ink and parts etc? I am printing around 500-1000 SQ feet per month and can this machine capable of print ?

    Sorry for my broken English but I hope some one will be help on this.

    Many thanks
    Thush

    hi there
    i have moved this to the appropriate forum as it is more of a question on printers rather than a "say hello" post.
    please make a fresh intro post in the say hello forum.

    as for your question, a Roland PC600 will definitely not be suitable for that volume of printing.

    As well as it not being up to the job you may well find it is impossible to get parts when it goes wrong.

    And your present ink costs will be very small change compared to the cost of ribbons on a PC600. 😮

    Hi Thush, I also think the the PC600 won’t be a good choice. I would suggest you try Mutoh Valuejet or the Uniform Lancer printers
