Hello, For someone looking to get started in Digital printing is the Roland PC-600 a good choice. My current needs for a digital printer would be for smaller decals maybe up to 24" not wraps or very large decals. I have been seeing used models for $2000 and up,but I'm unsure if the PC-600 is a good unit or not, also I'm not in the a financial position to purchase a model like Roland Versacamm right now. So I guess the question is buying used PC-600 a wise idea or a unit to stay away from?
Thanks , Todd and Happy New year Posted by Curtis hammond (Member # 2170) on :

I second that. Save your money & sanity & outsource until you can bring the right equipment in for your shop.

Todd, if you use the search option near the top, and search for PC60 , or PC600, you'll get directed to many many threads from people asking the same question, and mostly the answer is as above! I haven't used one at all, though. The consensus is the headache is greater than the income, and the expense is disguised, but it is greater than the cost + headache!

Stay away from it. Very costly and will keep you from being competitive.
Quality is ok, but you really have to have a "niche" market willing to pay.
If you are buying a used machine, be aware the heads a very definite life and are very costly to replace.
Why don't you lease a VersaCam? In the end, you'll pay much less and put more in your pocket
