Any got any ideas what large format printers i can make into a solvent printer?

I have no idea about solvent ink. My usual method of "education" is to ask the question "I wonder if this'll work?" and then bung it all together and see what happens! Sometimes it works... :wink:

Be brave! :biggrin:

InkTec list their solvent ink range as suitable for the following printers:

Roland
Z/Soljet EX Series/SJ1000
Uniform
Cadet/Grenadier
Mimaki
JV3 JV5 JV33

(note, I am an InkTec dealer, but have no experience of solvent inks/printers, and am just quoting their info sheets)
