Which one is more important Printhead or Electronics?

Which one is more important Printhead or Electronics?

Which one ?...

When looking the Title , it is obvious to answer Whole Printer has to be tuned well. My question is which part is more important.

We already seen many different digital printers, solvent,eco solvent, textile and uv on market.

Some uses same printhead but quality is much more lower than others, Some use different ...

If you willing to buy a printer which is not known brand such as HP,Fuji,Mimaki,Roland..., then Need to check  following points :

• Which printheads using?
• Is there Temperature control on this system? Electronically and manually together...
• Media Advance system check. If you dont test it, you cannot find how skip the media advance.
• How easy to find problems and solve it? I am not talking about User or Technical Manual.It is about How simple or complicate your printer...

These are some of basic points need to be clarify.

For Me Printhead is the heart of printer ,however Heart control by Brain which is electronically and mechanically well tuned.

I  see ,some of new ,young generation European Printers coming very well such as,

*  Old Grapo New Sigmajet UV printers from Chech Republic

* Aeoon -T-shirt printer from Austria

* Eurotechprinters from Turkey

I am sure all of you had several cases..Let's share with us ...!

If you want to buy Mimaki-Roland-Mutoh, Which one?

If you want to buy one of the leading brand Mimaki,Roland or Mutoh digital printers, which one you gonna decide..?

Roland printer

There is many aspects for your decision making for these printers.Such as:

1.Printer Speed: There is many models but mostly Mimaki and Mutoh printer is higher speed than Roland as well known on the market.
2.Print Quality: Roland is known better quality than Mimaki and Mutoh. This is very small quality different each due to Epson technology.

Mimaki printer

3.Quality based: All of them are quality and high standart printers ,however Roland mechanics are little robust them others.


4.Technology : Mimaki is very big technology follower and make new impacts with moving from Epson head to Ricoh GEN E5 head .
5.Simplicity: It is the most important point to fix the printer when have problem. In this case Mimaki and Roland is the top level on simplicity.

Mutoh printer

6.Pricing level: Comparing 3 of them, Mutoh looks always better pricing on same or better specifications than Mimaki and Roland.
7.Easy to use: All of them are user friendly printer manufacturer. 


All above 7 points are subjective points for everyone ,more less the %80 agreed on market.

We cannot say any brand better rate than other, however these days Mimaki making big marketing move with new product lines with its new factory at China.

Chose the best for your needs.

If you want to buy Cheap Outdoor printer,

Time is rushed out with many problems, everyone seek around best possible solutions.


No one accepts to pay high for anything.


We also look for cheap outdoor printer , however we dont known which we should choose.


If we go Roland,Mimaki,Mutoh, quality high ,service nice but cost is also high...


If we go any Chinese printer, Faster than Japanese ,quality is acceptable in some places however service and 


support is headache.


There should be some solution on market where Cheap and acceptable quality where market seek around.


I believe  this place gonna fill out with 2 companies:


1-Mimaki coming out more powerful on market with new printers....


2-New family based printer manufacturers, like Eurotechprinters,MS.... also has interesting solutions.




Waiting for new Pioneers....

To Choose Solvent Based Inkjet Printers Tips

We live in such a strange world .Black and White is just two colors and good example that lives and outereffects to ours.Since 2 years everyone in the world suffering through financial global crysis which caused with several reasons.And then I think myself ,after 13 years in inkjet market,What is Good and what is bad in this life?

It is short life. I dedicate this blog to help all wide format printer family in the world to help.

This is only my experiences and my thoughts ,however %95 are correct.

Secrets,lies,promotional activities ,marketings, oems, sales lies.....

Lets say , Tell a lie ,make a sell this is today world ...

If you will buy a newer wide format solvent inkjet printer, you should be decide many things?
you should known what is good and what is bad?
1.What you looking for? High speed&High quality,pricewise printer price,ink price?
you should decide, if you look all the things together you should be ready to pay high value to your printer from known brands.
other brands will give you headache...
2.What you want to pay?
If you want to buy UV printer ,and you would like to make %50 lower investment comparing to Japanese well known brands,like mimaki ,roland and mutoh, and go china..Then you must be pioneer.Because from my experience, Chinese people very helpful and nice, however products quality stability on long run are not stable. You must be careful.
3.Ink is just a ink?
If you are from a country who print 24/7 mostly and quality is low issue, and durability outdoor is not an issue, then yes ink just a money for you, but if you look for good quality ,inkjet blood is INK and go for Good ink supplier.
Now nearly every country there is domestic inkjet ink manufacturers.
4.If i want to buy printer smaller than 1,52cm wide ,which printers i will choose?
Definetely ,I will stay if it is UV ,then Mimaki,and Roland,Mutoh,if it is Eco Solvent choose again Mimaki or roland may the first choose, if i will look newer technology HP Latex printers and new Epson printer is the key. If i will look over 1,52cm to 2,5m,then there is good UV printer manufacturer in Europe such as Grapo(chech rep.),Neolt(italy),Eurotech(Turkey),Sun(russia) with reliability and reasonable pricing.If we go Solvent printers then Neolt,Eurotech will be choose middle class and reliabily with price.Of course Mimaki,Roland,Mutoh and HP is always knocking door with financial solutions and known brand.For Wider products ,You may choose DGI,Keundo(S.Korea),Eurotech(Turkey),Hp Scitex,Efi Vutek,Agfa Jeti,Durst...From the DGI to Durst pricing and quality is getting slighly increased.

Bad doesnt mean to suit your application, and good doesnt means always it fits you.
You known your application and country.

It is always recommend from me to go many Shows,specially Fespa Digital,Fespa 2010(munich) to see new printers and ink developers .

World is the smallest place after internet and holy google entered in our home .....

I will keep you writing about the wide format inkjet ...
