Maintainence/support contracts for U/V converted printers

[David Rowland]

does the light bar need new bulbs every xxx hours ? look into the costs
the UV ink is less likely to block, then dampers, wipers and any pipework, well I just thinking if the outlay is actually worth it as solvent is the one that used to block

[Steve Motts]

The light bar has a lamp life of "up to 9000 hours"
That’s 375 days, assuming you print for 24 hours of every day.
We reckon we’ll get a 4+ years out of it at our current rate – possiby longer.

If we manage it sooner, I’ll be very happy as we’ll be so busy I won’t care about the cost of the replacement! 😀
