Uv printers

[Craig Keller]

Does anyone have uv printer made by Procolored? Im looking at different ones trying to decide.

Procolored is an awful manufacturer to work with and their printers are just generic Chinese units with a different logo. They claim all sorts of things in regards to support and warranty, until you actually need it. Software is also going to be a huge headache with those types of printers. Getting the non Procolored version of the same type of printer is way cheaper, but it comes with all the headaches in exchange fora cheap price.

How about Epson uv desktop

Epson SureColor V1070 UV Desktop Flatbed Printer anyone have one of these? Bad thing it can do tumblers.

 

[Smoke_Jaguar]

Epson is going to be a lot better warranty, support, setup and all that. Just a higher price of course. Using a rotary on a printer is novel, but as someone who has a pile of Mimaki Kebab parts kicking around, they are so slow most people use them a few times and stash them in a dark corner.

 

[Craig Keller]

Epson is slow? Its only a 2.7 in height and 8x11

 

[Smoke_Jaguar]

Rotaries tend to be slow, as they can only print a really narrow swath if printing directly to things like tumblers or other cylindrical objects.

Ic. What print do u have?

 

[Smoke_Jaguar]

Currently a jfx200, jfx500 and ujf-3042mkii for the Mimaki. And an Oce Arizona 365gt with a 550gt on the way.

Do not buy small Chinese made UV printers, including 6090 size machines. They have no real speed and no real efficiency. Once you start using them long-term, you’ll run into countless problems. The entire machine is full of design flaws that after-sales support simply cannot fix. They are basically industrial junk

What are you looking for? Just something for tumblers? UV Flatbed? UV Hybrid?

 

[Craig Keller]

Something to cover tumblers, golf balls, pens, print leatherette patches and stickers. But I guess that's both hard and soft inks?

 

[Ewan yu]

Have you seen these two machines? I have customers who bought it and said it feels good to use

Contact Mark Snellings at HASCO - he is very experienced and sells several brands in the midwest. He is on here often

Do you want to have a conversation about the Roland Object printers? That is exactly what they are built for...printing on random stuff like golf balls, water bottles, christmas ornaments, etc. I can send you over some pricing as we are based in Cleveland.

 

[Ewan yu]

Are you a distributor? I thought Roland's machines could be purchased directly on the official website in the US

 

[Smoke_Jaguar]

For that application, I'd do a Mimaki UJF-6042 MKII series myself, one of the better printers for curved objects, has a rotary option, durable as heck Toshiba Tec heads. Just avoid putting primer in it. Printable primer is hell on heads.

Stick to sublimation cup wraps? What ink is used for leatherette to apply to hats?? Thanks

 

[Smoke_Jaguar]

Wraps are way faster.

For ink on leather and synthetic leather, I use LUS-120 ink
