Colorspan 72 Uvx/uvr

Jo Anne Yost · November 10, 2006

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you have any experience with either of these flatbed printers? Good or bad. Or any experience with any digital UV Curable flatbed printers? Any information positive or negative would be appreciated.

Thanks have a great weekend, and GO CHARGERS!!!! :wootsmiley:

Not yet!

But I want one! :drool: I know a guy named "Koji" :aikido: who works on Color Spans and says their awsome but other that that I can't say.

We were going to shell out and buy one about a year ago so that we could print directly to sintra.

Since then, we've kind of back-peddled on that idea.

They're very nice, IMHO,.

Thanks all for your responses...you're real funny Erik :harhar:

We are expanding our shop here and have a potential new customer that could allow us to purchase some equipment we've had our eyes on ever since we came back from SGIA Vegas. We do a lot of printing right now that we print digitally onto adhesive back vinyl, laminate and then mount onto substrate...Sintra, Dibond, Coro, Plexi and the like. It would be so much more productive for us to print direct to substrate. We've got our eye on the new Mimaki flatbed (that won't be out until early next year, we saw it at the show) and we've got a guy from Colorspan willing to make us a good deal on the UVX so, now all we have to do is come up with the dough!

Anyway, thanks again.

Oh and CHARGERS ROCK! :wootsmiley:

I'm hoping to expand our digital department by the end of the year. I'd like to get a Mimaki JV5, or at least a JV3, along with a Colorspan 72 would be awesome.

Talking the boss into spending 125-150 grand....should be even more fun!
