    I have made air cooling uv led lamp and tested more than 500 hours. it is 3.6w/pc*21/pc=75.6W one.

    Operating voltage is max.25.4V, but I fix my dc power supply(smps) to 23.5V for continuous LED lighting and no clogging.

    Printer is Epson p600, 8channel one. I can enjoy 1440*1440 resolution printing  long time, maybe more than one year without any clogging of printhead.

    In my experience, bad Uv ink damages printhead seriously even though you lowered led power supply to enough safe zone.

    Bad ink break the inner mechanism of printhead within several hour continuous printing.

    Pls try to find quality uv inks to keep printhead in high condition.

    I tested my little 60w module..today .... as suggested by few guys I moved it a bit up let say 4-5mm over printing head level to cover wider area and avoid polymerisation on the head itself ...I tested full platen printing and it works fine ....constant current led driver used ...seems like it is scratch proof ..too I was not able to scratch it easy even with sharp knife .... more testing soon :) module is water cooled :) I will use 5-10l of destiled water and fish tank pump...Today I used 45l but it is too risky to have such big capacity...heasink is almost freezing but uv under seem to be so strong I may even set dimmer to way lower power 

    you can buy a little radiator and fan from china and a pump with header tank for cooling complete system hold less than a litre of water and will work all day without getting hot

     

  3. 6 ink heads are probably more cost effective you can get a replacement head for about 1/10th of the price of the 8 ink heads and you  do have to replace a few heads,  UV light and temp have a lot to do with how long a head lasts I was replacing heads every few weeks until I figured out the light was reflecting off the tray back onto the print head and was slowly curing the ink in the head another one is temp I cant print below 16 deg c as the ink will not flow properly through the head if the heads are capped properly you can leave them for a couple of weeks with no problems

  4. had to cut the left side out to fit it and with most converted UV printers you don't get the full cure on the right hand side but being a flat bed you just move it to the left a bit and print good thing about rip software it lets you place your print where you want it on the bed it will print a full A3 size and the watercooled units are the best as the ink mist eventually clogs the cooling block on the fan cooled unit
