Is this true?
I’m running a Uniform Grenadier G2 on full solvent ink, but because it’s not used every day I was thinking of going over to Eco-sol inks. The nice man at B&P told me I can’t use Eco-sol in a bulk ink system and that I would have to go back to carts!! Can this really be true?

I’d check out whether Grafityp can offer EcoSol Max inks for bulk.
Even if they can’t, the price of the 440ml cartridges has been reduced by Roland recently. If you’re not using the Grenadier regularly they might be a better bet.

The trouble is Peter, is that if I use third party inks I will invalidate my warranty 😥 😥 😥

I would have thought if you down graded to a less volatile ink there would be less chance of damage.

I would check your warranty terms. I don’t think this is the case. It certainly wasn’t on the maintenance agreement I had with B&P.
If you use Roland EcoSol Max inks you won’t get a problem from the inks as they were designed for the machine. They are probably to B&P’s advantage as they won’t dry out and cause problems like Activasol does.

Peter can I ask, are you using Eco or full solvent?

Peter,
I have a Cadet and "converted" back to EcoSol Max. Since that time (18 months ?) I have not had a fault on the machine whereas before I had regular problems and several head changes.There are some other threads on the the boards that you might want to look at regarding this. The biggest issue is changing the RIP/profile combinations to match the materials you use. I gave up using Troop and now use Versaworks.
