Agreed, which has me hesitating slightly on the 330. (I've gotta make a decision this weekend to take advantage of their financing promo.) I read in one other thread one guy said the 330 is having issues, but I can't go based on one person opinion, and either have to be in that first round...

Why do you think this? Have you been using a per-releae model of the 330? I'm considering getting a 330 over the 300 right now, but I also know adopting new tech can also come with some headaches. It's 30% faster than the 300 and a smaller dot (4pl down from 7pl on the 300). Also sounds like...

I'm really leaning towards getting the UCJV330 machine if the lead time isn't too long. From what I know it's about 30% faster than the 300 model. Updated UV lamp system, updated ink injection system that can print 4pl dot down from 7pl on the 300 model. Is it worth the extra costs? possibly...

Yes, UV clear ink with matte finish printed with a UV machine can get you that effect.

I don't think I'll be looking at the Roland. I was just turned off by the sales guy not even know anything about how it prints. I asked him 2 questions about the multi layer printing and the ink and he couldn't answer either of them. Just doesn't instill a lot of confidence in me. The mimaki...

Hearing these things help my decision. My local dealer is really pushing as much info to me to get me to buy one over the Mimaki. I just don't want to have any issues like this cropping up for me. They are so close in what they do it makes it hard and it's the little things that will sway a...

Does anyone have thoughts on Roland LG UV machines? I was talking to a dealer about one of those. Just looking comparing the Roland LG and the UCJV300 they seem to be on par with each other as far as print capabilities. Both do 8 colors, layered printing, inline cutting...

Another GFP 363TH owner here. Been very happy with with it over the last year. Only issues I've had were just me from learning the operation of it.

I'd love to get a new UCJV 330 machine but would it really be wroth the extra cost over the older 300 model? As far as I can see the big main difference is a new head technology allowing for better prints and faster speeds. Also it looks like some new clear functions have been added over and...

For all my calendared work I used Substance vinyl and laminates. They also make a nice holographic 3mil calendared vinyl. I see they have a neon line of cast vinyl available now. (only 1 Year durability though) now sure if that's because of the colors and how they have to formulate it.

Ok so I'm seriously revisiting this idea of a R2R UV printer. I'm not sure if I should go with the mimaki UCJV330 coming out, the 300 to save a few thousand $. I thought maybe a UJV since I already have a separate plotters here, but that only comes in 64". Space is tight so I'd like to get...

I was solely on insatagram, but the last few months business has fallen by 75% in the last 2 months. Now I'm contemplating closing up shop or finding a part-time job to fill in gaps. I've got clients that rely on me, but they don't order every week, so I can't just up and close and leave people...

Looking for wholesaler that can help me with some small contour cut labels that have a raised spot UV finish.

I've never been asked to do that, and my accountant is a former IRS agent.

Only got clear because I'm planning on making novelty decals to sell to people. It wasn't specifically bought for this project.
