Flat bed Printers

[Mark Sipes]

Have been kicking around the idea of adding a UV Flatbed printer to my arsenal of tools. Have been unable to find a "Printers" trade show where you could see all on the market at one time.

Have found the Roland Versa LEF-20 http://www.rolanddga.com/products/printers/lef/

and

HIDCC HI-FT-MA2 http://www.flatprinter.com/flatbedprinter/360.html

and

ICHK IE-UV4280 http://iehk.com/product/1124/1128.html#.UuP1C9LTkts

I know there has to be be a larger selection....these run in the $8-29K range

Anyone know of a trade show suited for this line of printers?

Any idea what the cost is for UV cure ink carts? My Sublimation inks runs around $65 per color. Understand the UV prints have 8 carts

Thanks in advance.

The annual SGIA show typically has all the major players in attendance. The ISA show also usually has quite a few manufacturers as well, it seems to get more and more graphics orientated every year.

Many threads on this topic on other fourms like dcsuvforum.com, Signs101 and EngravingEtc.

I am impressed with the ADA signs that can be printed.
