Eastech Scutum UV8720s, Eastech Scutum UV6440S flatbed UV-curable ink printer

Eastech Scutum printer UV at Photokina 2004. |
Eastech is a Taiwan company that has exhibited for many years at US trade shows. Eastech was also present at DRUPA 2004 and at Photokina 2004, showing they are ahead of Chinese and Korean companies that did not make it to either trade show. Eastech also exhibited their Scutum UV6440S printer at SGIA '04 trade show in Minneapolis.
But during 2005, Eastech has concentrated itself on the German market, and no longer exhibited at US trade shows. We inspected the Eastech Scutum UV8720s, and Eastech Scutum UV6440S at FESPA in Munich during June 2005 and in Duesseldorf in October.

FLAAR had been invited to Taiwan and Thailand to inspect their new non-UV inks
but it when we arrived in Taipei it was not feasible to inspect the Eastech office, so instead I spent a week inspecting the GCC factory, R&D department, demo room, etc. As a result there are updated reports on the GCC StellarJet 250 and GCC StellarJet 183UV. The next week it was possible to spend several days at the Dilli UV printer factory in Korea: this resulted in three new reports: Dilli Neo Titan, Dilli Neo Venus, and Dilli Neo Plus. It was also possible to take notes on the dedicated Dilli flatbed printer, the Neo Deluxe (but there is no report on this model yet).

Eastech Scutum UV printers
It is hard to distinguish one brand from another, so FLAAR now offers a report on the Eastech Octra UV 8720e, Eastech Octra UV 6440e roll to roll, UV curable ink flatbed printer, Eastech Scutum UV8720s, and Eastech Scutum UV6440S.
At SGIA 2005 and again at ISA 2006, an Eastech printer was shown OEMed (rebadged) as the GO Fuzion.
Also at ISA 2006, another reseller showed the industrial version of the Eastech Scutum. We cover this in the FLAAR Reports on UV printers at ISA trade show (a new report).
But during 2007 Eastech gradually began to withdraw from the UV-cured printer market. GraphcsOne dropped the rebranded Eastech printer as well. At DRUPA 2008 Eastech was exhibiting small textile printers and desktop printers using a lite-solvent or eco-solvent ink for printing on diverse flat and rigid materials.

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. |
