Questions people ask before ordering
What actually changes on the machine?
The ink supply. The system feeds the printhead from bulk containers through its own controller and software instead of through OEM cartridges. The press itself keeps printing the way it always did.
When does $6,000 pay for itself?
It depends on your monthly volume and on what you pay for cartridges today. The calculator works it out: enter your cartridge prices and a real job, and it returns the payback period in months.
Which ink can I run afterwards?
Bulk pigment at $200 per litre or dye at $180 per litre. Both are supplied by us and confirmed against your machine before the first delivery.
Is my machine suitable?
If it is built on the HP FI-1000 print engine, almost certainly. Send us the make and model — we identify the engine for you.

How ordering works
Every item is confirmed against your machine before it ships. Send the request, we reply with availability, lead time and the final quote including shipping. Payment is arranged on the quote — there is no checkout on this site on purpose, because industrial orders need the machine confirmed first.
