Dye based ink to mild/eco solvent printer conversion ?
Hi i’m chris,
this is my first post on the board, and i feel like i’m among friends already.
It’s a lonely old world the sign world, so i’m glad to be on board at last.
Ive been in graphics business 18 years, and have not had much contact with other industry people, as signwriters usually run a very competitive if not cut throat business and because of this do not like any contact between each others businesses.
Well.. thats been my experience over the years sadly..
Reading the help and posts on here, looks like ive finally found a bunch of like minded people who are more ineterested in their art than bottom line figures, or shafting the competition into oblivion.Anyway.. rant over..
My question to you all out there is about printer conversions.
Has anyone successfully converted a machine to run on mild/eco solvents from dye ink printing ?
Or is anyone using a converted machine, and if so what would you advise.
the reason i ask is i want to buy a printer that prints mild/eco solvent inks, but it’s a big step for us, as we dont have much demand for it at presetn, but we would like to be able to offer the service, therefore we cant justify paying out 7,8 or 9 grand out for a nice spanking new flash number.Best Wishes
Chris
