AFC1600/2200 Water-Based Flood Coater
Now that so many printshops have UV-cured flatbed or roll-to-roll printers, their clients seek more gloss or at least a satin appearance. This you can achieve by running your prints through a liquid coater.

A coater is similar to a laminator, but is for coating, not lamination. Liquid lamination today can be water-based (aqueous) or UV-cured.

The Drytac AFC 1600/2200 is compatible with most roll-to-roll solvent, eco-solvent and pigmented inkjet printers, AFC (aqueous flood coaters) liquid coating systems protect inkjet graphics on vinyl, PSA, non-porous textiles, wet strength paper wall covering, canvas and other flexible substrates and can also function as flash drying devices for hard-to-dry inks.

The AFC 1600/2200 is a user friendly coater machine, requires minimal operator training, just choose the temperature, load and web the media, turn on the pump and begin coating. A filtered recirculation system eliminates the need for damming the liquid during operation. Multiple coating tanks with disconnect feature allow easy switching between coatings.

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 2012 more 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 www.large-format-printers.org. |
