Welcome to 2009: New Trends in UV Printers for 2008-2010

The trend for 2009-2010 and beyond is in inks and printable materials. At SignAfrica '09 (September 2009), I saw X-board from Xanita being used in every booth at the show. So I had a breakfast meeting with their CEO, James Beattie. Then at Print '09, three key people from Re-Board surprised me at the FLAAR booth. I had no idea they were at the show. And I believe it was PlyVeneer BioBoard in a flatbed cutter booth and in the HP booth (Oce had the Re-Board).

So for 2009 FLAAR has already begun to evaluate all kinds of non-plastic, non-extruded, non-PVC, non-PP, non-PE materials (in other words we will evaluate printable recyclable honeycomb kraft paper boards for UV-cured flatbed printers. We will continue to expand our coverage of BioBoard and comparable materials throughout 2010. Read the full article >>

 

New site-visit case studies of UV-cured ink flatbed printers in 2009

The most reliable way to learn the truth about a UV-cured printer is to visit a sign shop that actually has one. So Nicholas has done site-visit case studies in Italy, Guatemala, Germany, Greece, Turkey, all across the US, Canada, etc. FLAAR checks out screen printing companies, franchise sign shops (Sign-a-Rama, FastSigns), Mom & Pop sign shops, as well as photo labs, giclee ateliers, beginners, mid-size, and huge printshops (our recent visits have been to the largest digital printing company in Slovenia and a second printshop near Ljubljana: both had Durst Rho printers; one had an Oce Arizona 250GT, with printhead issues in the past).

FLAAR now has over 83 reports on UV printers. Since we are a non-profit institute, our Reports ordering system has a few quirks. If you get lost, or have questions, please contact CustomerService@FLAAR.org. If that fails, telephone 1 419 823-9218, and explain what reports you wish to order. But usually you get quick response from the e-mail address. This phone is NOT a way to get any consulting. Hellmuth is not available at that number (since he is probably 17,000 miles away inspecting a UV printer factory, or a demo room or a printshop). If you wish professional consulting, you will be provided Dr Hellmuth's private telephone number. All contacts to FLAAR should be by e-mail only, not by telephone. Telephone is only if you wish to purchase FLAAR Reports and have a glitch on the ordering system, or if you wish to reserve a time and place to meet Dr Hellmuth in person for consulting.

We have added a new site to FLAAR network: 3d-scanners-3d-software- reviews.org, where you find reviews and evaluations on reliable 3d laser equipment, laser scanners, both handheld and portable scanner, digitizer, for creating 3d models, 3d modeling, with reviews of 3d modeling software, including for reverse engineering, prototyping, archaeology, cultural herirage and the whole world of virtual 3d.
