  4. CET COLOR X-Press FK512 flatbed.. thoughts?

    Ben, Don't know that I would characterize the relationships as "fired". DuPont and Lexjet both exited the business altogether and it had nothing to do with the printers from Flora. CET maintains a relationship with them. I'll ask Dave next week what the status is. Can't speak to the others.

    No. Their router program kinda is in limbo. I am in the market for a router/cutter right now. Looking at the Colex model. Don't need a ZUND or a Kongsberg/Esko for the price.

    No way. These are printed in long 125" strips and if the UV ink doesn't dry when being printed - it will be a sloppy mess and there will be mucho banding putting wet ink top of wet ink

    I do alot of product mockups for a paint brush/roller manufacturer that sells products in big box home improvement stores and such. We came up with a way to print directly to .005 polyethylene - which is pretty heat sensitive. We only fire the trailing lamp in a flash curing pass and it works...

    Its a dual stack - two heads at same carriage postion and two heads staggered about 1.5" closer. This enables you to do white first, white last and inline white as spot without reconfiguration. You can sort of do what you are asking by limiting the passes to single pass and single hit and using...
  9. So...I want to start a yard sign business.

    I have been in business just over a year now (well, owning my own place - been in the business for over 20) - we were selected one of Top 50 Shops in the country by Wide Format Imaging magazine this year and it has been alot of long hours and hard work - but if you have a sound business plan and...

    How about a wholesaler for dye sub fabric work?

    Why not make a large 6x10 foot jig and direct print them with a flatbed that has varnish and/or white ink. The distance from the head to the inlay can't be beyond 1mm so you would not get a huge amount of ink displacement. Send me some chips and I'll show you what I mean and take a video of them...

    Mike - Would have thought you guys would have a Durst 900 or similar.
  14. Best Flatbed?

    UV printers Sorry... I probably come off as a sales guy, but I own and operate a flatbed everyday. I USED to be a sales weenie in my past, but I was also a technical manager and a color management trainer, too. $50K - $500K is a little broad - don't ya think? If $500K is in your checkbook -...

    Drive down to SGIA in New Orleans next month. Every flatbed/UV device you can imagine will be there and running live. I am attaching a question sheet I developed way back in my sales guy days. Hope this helps... SM

    C'mon - you can't ask that question without some parameters. Its like asking which is the best car, who is the best woman or what is the best beer. You have to establish some gating items that need to be met before you even ask this question. What is your budget? What is your physical floor...

    How much experience would you like for the FLORA models? Worked with FLORA for 3 years when DuPont was in this market. FLORA made our 22UV model. FLORA is a good Chinese company that will build them as you design them. I am not entirely sure that you can buy a FLORA printer here in the US due...

    Don't discount anybody's printer based on one shops reported downtime issues without fully knowing that shop's individual workflow and maintenance schedules.
