Even if they are multiple feet wide they can also support 12inch media , but still if you want a cheaper solution you can message me personally 

I thank you for offering a personal chat. I sent the information I have.

The Chinese roll to roll uv printer is already available in the market i will suggest you to go with that insted of playing with p600 ofcourse it is possible to convert p600 into roll to roll uv but if machine is already available in the market why to play with it?

We have tag printers that use a thermal head with a single color film to print tags. It's about a foot wide. Most of the UV roll printers seem to be multiple feet wide. The p600 has a roller attachment and can print a variety of card stock. Honestly we don't even need the p600 as it is wider than anything we print now. I have modified one along the lines of the DTG units on this site and I even have a spare. If an Epson Expression Photo XP-8700 can be made into UV, that might be a very good option, but I don't want to invest the time to invent new parts.

Has anyone done this with the Ecotank photo printers?

Hello Mr. Carter

I am looking to adapt an Epson P600. I would even send the printer to you to modify it. It is for printing on adhesive tags from a roll. Do you have parts for the UV ink conversion? It is definitely for a commercial application. What do you think it would cost to alter an existing one?

UV curable ink only will cure? The stock plumbing will not be harmed by the uv?

Hey all

Can someone confirm - if you have a UV source and do have regular ink - not uv curable ink, there is no chance of damage to the printer hoses by the UV?

In other words, only if you run UV curable ink with the UV, then you must have the UV blocking hoses/lines and dampers?

The concern is only the UV curable ink will polymerize in the head/lines/dampers, right?

Thanks

Mike
