  1. Looking to change printers and needing some advice

    For latex, everyone thinks of HP and Epson only, but Roland has an excellent contender: Roland TrueVIS AP-640 (resin printer) - resin is really the same thing as latex. https://www.rolanddga.com/products/printers/truevis-ap-640-resin-printer See if you can get Roland to do a demo for you. It...
  2. Advice on desktop uv flatbed printers

    With white ink in particular, yes, I would say two days would be the limit - but even then, what I would personally do is to always have a small test job and print that out every day no matter what (when not having real jobs to print) - yes, you would be wasting a minimal amount of ink, but it...
  3. Advice on desktop uv flatbed printers

    We sell both Rolands and Mimakis: I would say Mimaki has the upper hand with these, but Roland has recently come out with a new model (MO-240) and seems to be trying to displace Mimaki in this particular niche... If you will be exclusively printing on acrylic, make sure to get an ionizer bar...

  8. Flatbed Printers

    Personally, I would not recommend buying any used large format printer and frankly I don't know of any service provider who would provide you with a service plan on a used machine, unless they themselves are selling said used/refurbished machine. The trick (as with any service contract) is...
