That is all valuable information. So with the imported machines can you not use any other RIP software? That is a huge advantage with the laser printer. Do you mind me asking which kind you use? Do you happen to know the dpi it can print too? Again, comparing between the two types of printing, ink printers produce better quality images. Your experience with this has been very helpful in helping me decide how to approach printing.

That is a tough predicament. I certainly am not to a level where I could get a 30k machine. Although I would definitely use it more than 10 times a year. Mainly for a hobby and to sell some products. For the clogging issue, I believe some scripts could be written to make the printer print every 24 or 48 hours if it hasn’t printed anything. Are there any suitable alternatives to UV printing? I know there are image transfers but that can definitely be time consuming to do with larger quantities.

Okay that makes sense. So when you’re saying a printer designed around it would be better suited you are referring to an industrial printer?

Okay good to know. Would that just be an ink issue? Would different white inks potentially produce better results? I wouldn’t mind using it often to keep it maintained. Are there any printers you’d recommend?

Okay gotcha. Well unfortunately I’m one state over so that probably wouldn’t work. Thanks for the opportunity! I have enjoyed reading this thread with your journey with this machine. I am wondering if maybe I should just pick up a cheaper desktop uv printer like from wayprinter? I believe they are a Chinese company but do you know anything about those type of printers? I believe wayprinter bases theirs off epson machines. I know with DTG printers people recommend just building your own over buying one from a company like that, but since it appears UV is much more complicated to make would you recommend buying a UV machine from that kind of company?

How much would you be looking for it? I am sure it would be clogged but do you think the print head would be damaged? I definitely have wanted to get into UV printing and have considered converting a printer, but this could potentially be a good option. I don’t mind tinkering some, just hopefully could get something that works for me to print on plastic toys to sell.

Do you still have the printer for sale?
