Printheads from Indonesia
Posted by Clete Franks on October 12, 2013 at 6:20 pmHi again group
Has anyone had any experience with the "print-head genuine"
company in Indonesia for printheads for the pc 60 and pc 600?
I value you guys expertise on matters such as this.
Cheers

If they are from Indonisia & cheapish then I doubt they are going to be genuine. Could be re-manufactured under licence but more than likely reverse engineered as a lot of stuff sold from Indonisia, China etc etc.
If you do a search on the forum there have been a few posts by people asking if anyone knows where to get hold of the printheads, maybe something in one of those threads that can help you.

I’d be very careful of too good deals, it wasn’t long ago I saw versacams for £4k from the same country…… 1 word …. Scam

I have bought 2 from Hong Kong and they were genuine but the 60 and 600 really are different they will fit but different set ups.
As said before Roland usa still support the 600 at a reasonable price the last I spoke to one of there techs.
There are many scams about heads for these printers and the big ink jet ones best advice is tread carefully and can you afford to lose your money. -
