    Hi guys, i have a query regarding my Roland BN-20.

    I bought it with Eco Sol Max 3 inks, which in turn are not compatible with a load of clopthing heat transfer film.

    i think my waranty wa sonly a year so thats now past,

    How easy is it to switch to eco sol max 2 inks ?? ( supplier of my transfers before i purchased my own machine runs eco sol max 2) and i want to use the film they supplied me,

    Cheers

    David

    Hi David,

    We are running Eco Sol Max 3 and films have been fine. We do a large amount each month.

    We had problems at the start and we’re told to switch back. More with colours and poor print quality. I believe the flushing carts were near £700 but we have 8 carts, BN only has 4 is that right?

    Hi Chris, BN-20 has 5′. Can You tell me what films u use?

    I use easy print from xpress, but find it’s a little heavy, prett scared after initial results to try anything else if I’m honest

    We are using Victorys satin film, or from time to time C-Print PU+ from Grafityp. Victorys weeds better. We’re going through 25-50m a month at the moment and switched Eco-sol Max 3 last September. As far as I know no problems. Most of our customers are weekly/monthly orders.

    Speak to Kim at victory design and she will send you a sample am sure.

    I’ve never tried the Xpres films. I actually have samples and use them for sublimation products, but every time I come across people using them there is always complaints about wash life/durability. I’ve used the siser films for last 10 years, so very used to them and don’t want to take the chance with xpres.
