Raster Printers Daytona H700UV
This is a rebranding of the Flora F1-180UV printer from China. The same printer is also rebranded in Spain as the ”Arena.” The output in the Raster Printers booth was significantly better than the output with the ink used by the unrelated Spanish distributor. I also recently inspected the Flora F1-180UV printer at VISCOM Italy. The results are in the FLAAR Reports (which covers the Chinese version and the Raster Printers version both in the same report).
Because DuPont had issues for years with their two UV printers that were contract manufactured in China, and because there were two years of issues with the first Flora hybrid UV printers, I will need to test this Raster Printers Daytona H700UV myself, will need to visit the factory in China, and will want to interview several end-users in the US, Europe, or Latin America in order to document its reliability.
The other printer from Raster, made in the USA, shows more obvious potential. This is the Daytona T600UV. It had the best print quality for 3 pt text of any printer at SGIA ’07, even better than text from the Oce Arizona 250 GT.
Differences between Hybrid and Combo UV flatbed printer
A hybrid printer has a flat metal or plastic platen with pinch rollers working on grit rollers; a combo printer has a moving transport belt. So the Zund 250 Combi is actually a hybrid printer. And the Raster Printers Daytona H700UV hybrid is actually a combo printer.
The nearest competitor among Chinese printers is from the same factory in China. This is the former DuPont Cromaprint 18uv, which is being repackaged by another company, and renamed.
