Impressive IP&I Cube 260UV from International Printer & Ink The FLAAR Report on the IP&I Cube 260UV is now available since July 2007. We hope to update it in 2010, but we are concentrating on the new IP&I printer, the i-cube (FLAAR review coming soon!). So this page on the IP&I Cube 260UV itself can be brief, because all the documentation is in the report.
One purpose of having the reports on the IP&I Cube as downloads on this page is so that our readers can sample a FLAAR Report and see what's inside. Many people who go to our web page that lists all the reports (on www.wide-format-printers.NET), are curious what's inside a FLAAR Report.
We have a free Abstracts (at the top right of this page), but now we are making sample reports available as well. FLAAR Reports come in many degrees of comprehensiveness:
So please realize that not all reports are as high a level as these on the IP&I. We have full access to all the IP&I staff, to their distributors, to the factory, and at their trade show booth. Already in 2007 it has been possible to visit two printshops who use IP&I printers (in fact in each print shop they had more than one IP&I UV printer, which is the best recommendation you can get). For all these reasons it is possible to obtain better information on this printer, as compared to printers where their main demo room is not available for us to test the equipment, where the manuals and documentation are not provided. Reports on most Chinese UV flatbed printers are Fast Facts or First Look because virtually no information is available on some brands : no User Manuals, and no factory visits. Even some major printers such as Virtu, they had virtually nothing available on their website except Success Stories, which of course are not realistic whatsoever. Nor are Success Stories published in trade magazines. The only way to learn the truth is to undertake a site-visit case study and get the true pros and cons. So I have visited installations of IP&I printers in 2007 and again in 2009, all in Korea. Gradually every two months we try to make new factory visits. So far we have been to VUTEk several times, to Gandinnovations two days, to GRAPO two days, to MacDermid ColorSpan four times, and have brief visits to the factory of Inca Digital plus a longer visit in the adjacent factory of Sun Chemical (Fast Jet). Our most recent visit was to IP&I factory and R&D rooms, for two days, in November 2009. Whenever a UV printer manufacturer invites us to host us at their factory, we try to arrange a date. We have been visiting UV-curable printer factories around the world for the past several years.
