    Question UV Flatbed questions

    We mostly do engraving (laser & rotary) and sublimation and we are thinking about getting a uv flatbed printer, now we have no idea of brands, quality, inks, prices or anything about these printers, i wonder if someone around here could point us in the right direction, it will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you guys

    What kind of budget do you have for this machine? I am friends with the owner of a shop that has a huge machine, $250,000 or more. If you are in that market I am sure he would be willing to talk with you if he has time. If not something that large, I would try one of the sign forums - signs101.com for example.

    Look around the Signs 101 forum for advice too.

    Great collection of equipment in your shop.

    Your local sales reps can be of some service (remember they are trying to sell) but.... you will be paying for two things, size and speed. So if i was in your shoes I'd decide what you really want to print on and then add on a bit for the future. I've done some shopping myself recently and am amazed at the initial cost...

    That is some very nice equipment.... Wish they had a table model....

    The price of admission with setup and training in the small UJF-3042 is about $41K with setup and training...

    It's nice to dream....
