Thanks you for the kind offer but it seems to have been sold already to someone else.
Just need to find the best deal now as most companies all want you to call them with no information available online. -
thats true, although things like the print head wouldn’t be covered would they?
-
thankyou for all the replies.
I have decided to walk away from this printer after contacting the supplier with the serial number.My guess is they bought it in the summer of this year 2nd hand and the head is damaged in some way and they are now passing the printer on.
After getting a quote for the work that may need doing it takes the printer to almost 5000 which is not too far off a new machine that comes with a full set of inks and warranty.

It’s a tough one as he doesn’t seem too clued up on the machine to be honest.
It could be he’s hiding something or could be that he just doesn’t know how to run any proper maintenance.He has said I can drive down to him this week to see it all running and watch him to a full test print of stickers.

Just had a reply from the seller and he says he does not want to swap dampers as he caused the air bubble in the first already.
Says the machine is left switched on at all times and it regularly does its maintenance sequence. -
The man selling it says he bought it from a print shop who changed the head in 2011
he then changed the black damper but says he caused an air bubble which has caused the black blockage.He also says one nozzle on the magenta is blocked which causes the occasional tiny band but he says stickers print 100% fine and the machine runs perfectly.
Makes me wonder if it just need a damn good clean.
From what i’ve read in the manual online it can do a deep clean for a set amount of time with flush through liquid?From the looks of it even if i had to buy a new head it seems a good price? £3500-4000 for a machine which seems to be around the £7500 mark with a set of inks and software (worst case scenario)

Thankyou for replying
I have been offered it for about £2800 if thats a good price?
Not sure what it will cost me to have it cleaned or serviced though
Was told the silver service is about £1800 from hybrid services which would make the machine quite expensive.Here is the image sent to me, sorry its low res and not great quality but hopefully it shows what you need.
Regards
David

Oh I know, all designs are done by myself.
I do a lot of printed clothing so finding other uses for the cutter. 🙂 -
Hi thanks for the welcomes.
My main market is going to be children’s stickers.
Nurseries, bedrooms that sort of thing. -
I have no idea to be honest.
As far as I’m aware it was made for the di-noc series?
I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work with other vinyls though unless someone else on this forum could let us know 🙂 -
managed to find some from williamsmith.
Its not listed on the site at all though so you have to ring up if you want it.
