Ink conversion
Switching a printer from OEM inks to LIPLA UV-LED inks: full flush, new lines, rebuilt profiles and test prints.
A printer bought with OEM ink is not married to it. Converting to LIPLA UV-LED inks changes what a liter costs — the reason most shops ask about it, and the reason it has to be done properly rather than by swapping bottles.
What the conversion covers
- Full system flush and cleaning
- Ink line and cartridge replacement
- Initial color calibration with new inks
- Verification printing and quality check
What running our ink gets you.
Service here is not a line on a price list. It is what a customer on our ink has, for as long as the machine runs on it — which is also why the liter is worth what it costs.
- A direct line to the engineer. Telegram, not a ticket system. The person who answers is the one who knows your machine.
- An answer within 24 hours. No case number, no dealer authorization, no waiting on an OEM to approve a visit.
- Special terms on engineer time. Installation, production launch and repair are done on contract terms rather than sold to you as jobs.
- Your machine’s history, held here. What was installed, what was converted, what was serviced and when. That history is usually what makes the second call shorter than the first.
What a liter costs
Worked out against the volume you expect rather than read off a list. We name it in writing once we know the machine and the volume.
What we guarantee
The conversion is done on site, and it carries a performance guarantee: if the printer does not run on the new ink as it did on the old one, that is ours to fix. Precisely:
- The machine prints after the conversion
- Print quality on agreed modes and materials
- A flushed system and replaced consumables
- Profiles rebuilt and checked
- The equipment itself
- Its parts and their wear
- Whatever happened to the machine before us
- Engineer time
- Repairs
- Call-outs
Which machines
The condition is whose ink is in the machine, not who sold it. Any brand running our ink qualifies, including printers converted through RFID chip installation — Fujifilm Acuity, EFI VUTEk and Canon/Océ Arizona among them, alongside the JHF and SOVA machines we supply.
Tell us what the machine is
The model, the printheads if you know them, and roughly how much ink it goes through in a month. That is enough for us to say what the conversion involves on your printer and what a liter costs at that volume.
Case Studies
Real work, documented with the machine, the site, the challenge and how we solved it.
Océ Arizona 365: control board replaced, ink converted to Lipla
The printer would not run and would not initialize. A printhead control board replaced it, the heads were flushed and dried while the machine was open, and the ink system was converted from OEM to Lipla in the same visit.
Two Océ Arizonas: a leaking white channel and a bed that missed the ruler
A 2280 that dripped white ink from its heads overnight, and a 360 next to it with air in the white filters. Wrong air filters, a clogged head segment, split coolant hoses and registration pins that had drifted off the ruler.
A loose screw shorted four printhead boards on a VUTEk H5
The printer stopped part-way through initialization and put a system error on the panel. The cause was a screw loose inside the carriage, lying across the printhead control boards. One board is back in service; three are on the bench.
