ink changes? you cant say that and leave us hanging...
in the near future HSA and water base inks will be up to 60% of the market place. Other than the states this is the norm already. As such you may be doing things in the first couple stations that are not the norm today. Polyester is becoming more and more common and the brushed version will need stamping with something like our I-kiss unit that knocks down the fibulation before putting down a blocker. This takes a head to do so as it fits in like a in head flash. The savings on removing a head is around $1,800.00. To add the head is more like $5,000.00. It really does not make sense to spend for one head later the entire amount you would save by removing three heads now. Just a FYI.

Sort of what I was hinting around about on the white ink thread. 80% of what we print is aqueous and not subject to so many tenets, postulations and theorems that apply to non aqueous print systems. Things are changing fast. Now that new polyesters,dry fits, and blends are being developed (after being stagnant for more than 15 ys), the HSAs are being refined as we speak.
