My post was made in January, while winners for 2018 were only recently announced, so maybe take your own advice and "google it" for 2017. https://www.sgia.org/sgia/press-release/sgia-announces-product-year-winners...

We're using Marabu inks in our Arizona 460xt and have used DUV-A in the past with a Chinese flatbed. When we switched to Marabu from Oce our technician noted the odor was more present. The Marabu equivalent to Oce inks is the 258-series (best adhesion, smaller color gamut). I'd imagine the...

Dust removing roller works well for me. Also use isopropyl alcohol for better adhesion.

I just went from Macbook Air (not recommended) to 5k Imac with SSD and upgraded Caldera from V9,2 to 11,1 and my difference in speed is impressive. For example, a 2sqm pdf would take 1hr on macbook air (no APPE), while on my new Imac, just about everything rips in under 1 minute, even with top...

We've decided to go with Marabu DUV-GR inkset. I was told these are better than OEM 258's (more neutral white and adhesion with more flexibility) —Also, saw they won "product of the year" at SGIA. We are printing higher margin, lower volume, so saving on inks isn't very concerning right now...

Any updates on this inkset? Comparison to IJC257? We're installing an Arizona 460XT next month and trying to determine which inkset to go with. Adhesion is important since we do alot of glass printing, but we would want a larger color gamut for Dibond printing as well. We're currently using...

I've owned a Chinese flatbed since 2011 (Docan). Technical support is limited but we do get some help through Teamviewer even still today without a service contract. I believe we spent 35k and that included on-site install and training. The lack of on-site support after install is the biggest...

I print 4mm extruded acrylic regularly and I've never had problems with warping while printing. Sometimes it's warped from poor storage but since it's double-sided I flip the material over and that solves it. The vacuum works better when corners are bent "down", rather than "up". Make sure...

For DUV-A: 155€/liter for white 130€/liter for cmyklclm White ink is notoriously difficult to work with but considering I don't have a circulation system installed, it works fairly well and I use it everyday.

I've done the same with scraping ink off with a utility knife, but I wouldn't describe it as "pealing" off in my case. When I was initially using cheap Chinese lamps and Chromo inks, then it would peal off cleanly. I've since switched to Marabu inks and higher quality lamps it's made a big...

Figured I'd update this post with my solution. I had to break open the plastic housing that connects the fiber optic cable and tighten a bracket which was causing poor connection. If anyone else has similar looking printout issues, save yourself the trouble and just change the board. If you buy...

Yes, but of course, adhesion promotors improve the bond. It's important for us because we normally laminate prints in glass oven and post-processing can break the bond between ink and glass, if the adhesion isn't very good. Less ink also improves the bond, so a good "stress test" is to print...

I work in a glass business and we do a lot of glass/acrylic printing. I would seriously question both these models since they are using led-curing as opposed to mercury-curing lamps. Good adhesion on glass is difficult to achieve even with primer and printing on correct side of glass (tin vs...

Was this ever resolved? Curious to know what the cause was? I'm having similar issue on Chinese flatbed.

I'm looking for parts, namely carriage board and UMC board. If you have these, I'd be interested in buying them from you or other possible parts. Either way, get in contact with me. It's rare to find other Docan users and can be a good resource to share advice/tips.

Hi, I came across a post of yours from 2013 regarding your Docan printer. I also have a Docan printer 2518 that I've had many problems with. Is your Docan still in operation?

Hi, I've got a Chinese flatbed printer that's been acting up and has gotten progressively worse. I was originally getting "vertical lines" in printouts and now printouts are not even recognisable. Carriage is also periodically "pausing" in the middle of printing for 3-5 seconds, before...
