Legend 72HUV hybrid UV flatbed printer from DEC (Digital Equipment Company)
 |
| Sample printed by Legend 72HUV hybrid flatbed UV printer. |
FLAAR is working at evaluating entry-level and mid-range UV-curable flatbed printers because we get so many requests for information from franchise sign shops as well as independent family-run sign shops.
Our first step was to visit DEC (Digital Equipment Company) and LexJet, to inspect the printer and do testing over a two-day period.
Second step will be to make time to visit a printshop that has one in service to take notes on how this Legend 72HUV printer functions in the real world. In the meantime, our initial comments are in the FLAAR Reports that can easily be downloaded on this page (and all other pages of this web site on UV printers).
Legend 72HUV hybrid flatbed UV now available from LexJet, Lloyds and more
To start with the Legend 72HUV is available from LexJet, Lloyd’s of Indiana, with more resources still to come. I know LexJet for many years as one of the more sophisticated suppliers of inkjet media to photographers. But LexJet has grown considerably and is now also an Epson, HP, and Canon dealer too, and now they offer the UV hybrid from DEC as well.

We are adding new pages and new features every month so it is not always realistic to update old pages from past years. All the old equipment is still available on eBay, so we keep even our old pages. If you wish only the more up to date product reviews, these are in PDFs (not in the web pages, but in PDFs which are linked in the columns at the right of every page). Please realize that we tend to update a page (or a PDF) primarily when it is clear that our readers ask about this brand or model frequently. With over 45 brands of UV printers and over 200 models in the past ten years, it is not realistic to update pages on obsolete brands or unpopular models. If you prefer to speak with Nicholas Hellmuth in person about a printer, you can bring him to your company anywhere in the world as consultant. By later in 2011 each of our web sites will be in 36 different languages with instant translation (and better than old fashioned web page translators of several years ago). So far all the languages are available on www.FLAAR.org and www.3d-scanners-3d-software-reviews.org. Next will be our fine art photography, giclee, decor web site. |
