Most of the direct to substrate/item UV flatbed printers can accomodate thick items (like 5 - 8" high objects) but what is the deepest print you've made on a object? Did you print on a item that tapered or curved up and down, a distance of like 2 - 4 inches? Or are all the UV flatbeds, only...

So, there's a company that makes a upgrade kit for an existing UV flatbed. Interesting. Can you provide anymore specifics? Xante model?

fHmmmm... tell me more about this conversion on a small UV flatbed. I'm currently looking around for a smallish UV flatbed, that can print on somewhat thick/deep materials. What's the print bed size on this small UV flatbed? Does the bed move up and down on the Z Axis to accommodate thicker...

What's the latest with this open source inkjet printer project?

See if you can work with this

Just reboot everything. Computer, router, printer see if that helps

Understood. Out of curiousity, what company do you work for? You mentioned ink mixing. Do you work for a company like STS inks? or similar? How did all your Chinese vendor discussions work out?

Do you know of any companies in China, that might be making a printer that is pseudo open source? I.E. Allows end user to customize or put addon components onto a skeleton printer structure with all needed electronics? User swappable inkjet heads, user swappable ink types/cartridges, etc...

conveyor printing systems with multiple print stations is not really what this board's members probably want. I think a more traditional form factor of plotter or flatbed is probably the open source printer we want... no industrial line printer

LEC2-300

My Roland UV printer, can get pure opaque whites. Multiple passes, higher white ink density outputs... but very very opaque is possible easily

I've got an almost brand new Edge FX, with Envision plotter, Omega software, and brand new unopened foils, materials.. I'm looking to sell. Send me a DM.

Reply back to this thread, should you get Peck2. I think it won't work, unless you are connected to the internet... i.e. Roland servers. I suspect this is how they prevent owner repair work... but maybe I'm wrong...

Apparently the very very best, are SwissQ flatbeds.

I don't know. You tell me. Give me the range/project

Just for sh*ts and grins, what were the prices from yesteryear that people used to pay. Geniunely curious

UV gel (thick viscosity)

Yes absolutely, It's a harder task to justify the increased expense due to the time + ink vs a single pass inkjet print. I'd like to see a RIP or printer manufacture come up with a structural pattern (Like a 3D printer's infill) specifically for building up UV ink fast and efficiently. A...

The 2.5D print capabilities are already here... everything you need is all available. However, it does consume way more ink... which means you have to charge the premium prices for textural relief... and on my Roland.. it's also SLOW
