New 4x8’ Gandinnovations Jeti 1224 UV and larger Jeti 2030 UV flatbed printers

In January, to gather material for a full-day of lecturing on UV printers in Korea , we visited the Gandinnovations factory in Toronto. Spent two days here and saw the two new Gandy printers: Gandinnovations Jeti 1224 UV and Gandinnovations Jeti 2030 UV.

So now we have updated our report on the current model 3150 Jeti from Gandinnovations. So this single FLAAR Report now covers all three models:

Jeti 1224 UV flatbed (4x8 ft size for US and countries using 4x8 as standard)

Jeti 2030 UV flatbed (2x3 meter size for Europe and related standards)

These Gandinnovations Jeti 1224 UV and 2030 UV printers print onto Styrene, Sintra, Coroplast, foam-board, acrylic

The popular new size for dedicated UV-curing flatbed printers is 4x8 feet so that you can print MDO boards and other materials.

Now Gandinnovations also offers a 2x3 meter size for countries that prefer the metric standard. Their booth at FESPA ’07 was filled with eager buyers from all over the world. While I was having lunch in their booth several people came up to me, from Africa and other continents around the world, and asked about FLAAR considerations on flatbed and roll-to-roll UV printers.

And, both of these Gandinnovations Jeti UV-curing flatbed printers are completely enclosed. Be a bit careful, since the Oce Arizona 250 GT is exposed: has incomplete protection against possible damage to your retinas and possible ink misting (potentially harmful to your health). Mimaki had to completely redesign their Mimaki JF-6131 flatbed because of increased critique of open designs. Their prototype, the IPF-1326 was not adequately enclosed and many people complained. At present the Oce Arizona is the only flatbed over $140,000 that is not safety recognized by FLAAR. We can’t certify any printer as totally safe, but it is necessary at least to provide warnings when many colleagues such as Dr Ray Work point out potential hazards if a UV printer is not totally enclosed.

Thus we commend Mimaki and Gandinnovations for changing their designs and covering their printers.

Whether for Coroplast real estate “For Sale” signs, or printing on aluminum, get your hands on the FLAAR Reports that describe what it is like to actually own a Gandinnovations flatbed printer. We have two different site-visit case studies of the Jeti 3150 UV flatbed from Gandinnovations. In each report we list what materials each sign shop finds works best with the UV ink.

Thermoformed UV ink for 3-dimensional signage

In the past, if you wanted to make thermoformed 3-dimensional signs easily, you had to buy an Oce T220 solvent printer with special solvent ink from South Africa. But now you can do this even better with special heat formable UV inks available from Gandinnovations. Clem Sison, the leading ink chemist at Gandinnovations, can explain this at any international trade show.

A popular aspect of the Gandinnovations booth was this thermo-formed ink (heat-formed) UV ink.
