2nd gen M&R I-Image (Rocket Launcher model)

This is an orignal M&R Epson 7900-based I-Image. This is not the new ST model, but still has years of life left in it.

As you can see by the jet test image, only 2 of the 10 ink channels are working perfectly, however the price does reflect this. For typical spot color work, this likely wouldn't affect you, but if you're doing high detail sim-process work you'd want to get it replaced at some point. A new head will cost between $1600 and $2200 depending on if you do the work yourself or not.

This does include the factory rip software preloaded on the PC, although many users are using Filmmaker or Accurip with it as well.

This is a great way to get into the CTS workflow by removing the film step from your process. At high resolution, it takes between 2:30 and 3:30 to 'image' a screen. At low resolution (still 720x720 dpi), the time drops to 1:30 to 2:00 minutes.

I may be willing to ship, but would be better if you pick up in Crystal Lake, IL. We do have a loading dock available for easy loading.

Asking $9,000. Or best reasonable offer.

Used heads can be had cheap. PPL using them for photography have to replace them as soon as one channel is bad.
For screenprinting, one is enough. We use more for the spot colors, but only one for sim process work as it is more precise. Back to the point, we bought a used head with one bad channel for $50 and replaces it ourselves. Anybody interested in this unit and not buying it because of the head, is passing up an opportunity to get into a modern CTS for very little money.

Bump. Since the original post, I've obtained a 7900 with 7 out of 10 of the channels working correctly. I moved the head and damper assembly from the donor 7900 to the I-Image. I will include the donor 7900 in the package for other spare parts in the future, and will also include a complete set of documentation and procedures for future head swaps and other maintenance. We only ran this with 2 or 3 channels, so you'll have no problems imaging screens with excellent detail.

now asking $6500 -- I need this out of our shop to make room for new gear.
