  1. When will UV Bulbs be illegal to sell?

    Like I said, a lot of conflicting information. Ink manufactures and LED manufactures are saying its coming, with Europe and Asia leading the way next year. All of my bulb manufactures are saying “nothing to see here”, keep buying bulbs, build printers that use bulbs. Gerald, thank you for...

  8. CET owners, past and present

    All, I had quite a few people send me this thread. I would like to clarify a couple of items: 1-Although I try to help my old customers at CET, my intent is not to prop CET Color up by offering outstanding service to anyone who buys a new CET Printer. I don't really support buying one and...

  16. Discussion CET K2 1000 "Everest" flatbed adhesion issues

    Tom, It's an ink issue. Even if you have not noticed yet, the ink they use is very brittle too. I am assuming this is their "Mosaic" ink. I have a much better ink that I run in my flatbed printers with the same Kyocera heads that are warranted for use in Kyocera heads. Also, be very...

  18. CET Ink-dont switch to mosaic
