Thanks for the introduction about this unit, always wanted a UV printer, hoping you will do a follow up video in 6months about matinance, ink usage and overall experience Thanks!👍👍
Ink usage is dependant upon your volume. However in comparison to Sublimation you per cost item is 2-25% of what an equal sublimated item would be. Of course, not including your initial investment. Maintenance is simple as long as you keep on top. Nothing Major, Nothing you have to take apart..simple up keep and cleaning. Of course the more you use it the more it needs to be cleaned, but it's relative. Consider it a Corvette, since it costs 1/2 of what a New Corvette Costs....LOL
After 3 months of research, deep dive, Logojet by far has the BEST Customer Service. The printers are awesome. There are some that do more, some less,,,but Customer Service is the BIG DEAL.
@@malonecustomdesigns Very good Printer, Great company, but because we're a smaller Mom n Pop biz, Mimaki was too big for us. too many different types of equipment. Huge Company. The dealers were very good with good reputations, but again, a bit to big and diversified. Logojet is small, basically UV Printers, and a new DTG printer, but, small enough to still be personal but the manufacturer company is big enough to support the equipment. Let me give yo a little insight. Ordered mine, almost $40K. arrived 9 days later. FedEx decided the box needed to be severely ventilated, with a forklift. Called Logojet, sent pics, and they had a replacement shipped the next day. No question, no wait, no nonsense. Put me at ease right then right there. I have had high dollar equipment shipped and damaged, or just not working and it was always a night mare, jumping thru hoops, waiting for shipping investigators to come and verify, waiting til they got the damaged item back before shipping a new one, even had one try and send me a refurb in place of a new replacement...Logojet, 110% what a company should be, and it's been the same everyday since.
When you print on material how about testing with and with primers (adhesion promoters) and let us know the results on acrylic, metal, wood etc. It is hard to get much info for starting points on UV printers other than just try it yourself but that takes time and that means down production time
I think that’s why a lot of UV owners don’t want to tell people. Kind of like laser owners in the past of figure it out for yourself. Once I get more comfortable with the machine I plan to try things like this.
Unfortunately that going to be difficult. Primarily because there are so many variables. Quality of substrate, environment, actual print...For us, we use very little Adhesion Promoter. However we live in SW Missouri where humidity is a HUGE issue. Every substrate reacts differently. 2 same substrates from different vendors/manufacturers can react differently. Unfortunately there is a bit of trial and error.
My business is hoping we can upgrade and get this machine. Does Logojet train you how to use the printer when you purchase it, or do you have to pay for 1:1 with a technician?
It’s an additional charge for them to come out and train you but if you’re not familiar with UV printers, I highly recommend it. Are there any questions I may be able to help with?
+ The UV printer is an important complement to laser equipment. + A laser is for cutting or marking. + It is not understood that there are so many people in the network wanting to obtain photographs of people or animals or making cup holders, in a laser equipment.

You can actually print a clear coat on top of it. I haven’t tested durability but it’s supposed to be pretty good assuming you use the correct adhesion promoters.
You can print onto it but I don’t know how it will hold up. If it’s rigid ink, it most likely won’t hold up to being rolled up over time. If it’s flexible ink, it may but I don’t have any experience with that. That would be a great question for LogoJet.
I’ve been dreaming about buying a UV printer, but the price and maintenance put me off.. I still have it on my sights when the amount of orders justifies buying one. Great video Trev thank you.
It was the same with me, BUT, the supply chain, trucking, fuel price issue made the decision easier. Because you can use, buy, make substrates from OTC products, it was a no brainer for us. With 99% industry substrates and supplies coming from China. We Sandblast Pet Memorial Stones, which the stones are shipped to dealers here in Missouri from Colorado and the Pacific NW. Never in our wildest dreams would we have ever thought we wouldn't be able to get River Type Stone. SURPRISE...Our local dealers haven't had deliveries since March... Yes, expensive,,,if yo have an established biz, you should be able to make you money back fairly quickly. If you other equipment, Laser, CNC etc...it's like printing money. As far as maintenance,,,fairly simple...
if you have an established biz, and a niche,,,you'll make your money back...if you don't, this is not for you...This is not a start up piece of equipment.
The UV printer model is:
● LOGOJET UVx40R PLUS

Yeah, UV printers are leading the way in the printing industry. You can use them to print nearly everything with incredible and impressive effect.

I’ll try to do my best.

Definitely considering a UV printer for our next equipment purchase. LogoJet is at the top of our list!
If you decide to go with LogoJet, let me know.

@@davidsanchez9674 that’s been my experience so far.
@@davidsanchez9674 Thanks for the input. Mimaki is the other one that we have been most interested in as well.

Super cool new toy 😎 Now I want one 😄 I love how well it pairs with the laser and can add so many more options. Thanks for the vid
It’s a great companion to the laser. Now I just need more ideas for projects. If you ever want to try something, let me know.

great machine i have checked them out before but you can do 90% of the stuff they can for a fraction of the price with a Chinese uv printer
LOL LOL LOL,,,ya know why they cost a fraction of the cost?
You’re not wrong that they’re a fraction of the price but there’s a reason when it comes to support and reliability.
Exactly
+ The UV printer is an important complement to laser equipment.
+ A laser is for cutting or marking.
+ It is not understood that there are so many people in the network wanting to obtain photographs of people or animals or making cup holders, in a laser equipment. It's like wanting to watch a movie on a black and white television.
+ The problem of the UV printer is not so much the initial cost but the cost of maintenance in supplies, such as ink, etc.
+ In addition, for UV you have to have a market. It is better to start subliminating.
You’re definitely right on those points. It’s a lot of maintenance and consumable cost.
That's rad! How durable is it after printing? Do you need to clear coat it or anything to help it stay intact?
You can actually print a clear coat on top of it. I haven’t tested durability but it’s supposed to be pretty good assuming you use the correct adhesion promoters.
I want to get a uv printer so bad! They seem so expensive though. Do you still like it a year later?
I still like it a lot. It’s a great compliment to the laser but I will admit they are pretty expensive.
Hi, awesome vid. I was wondering do you have the machine in garage? just wondering if the weather is okay to have out we get low 20's here.
It is but my garage is temperature controlled. You definitely need a temperature controlled space for it.
Awesum machine, can it print on wax candles
I’ve never tried doing that but I don’t see why it couldn’t. It would be an interesting test.
Dang it, now I want one. Curse you!
My evil plan worked 😂.
I need training on my UV40 Plus.
Feel free to email me if you’d like to discuss this.
Impressive machine!
It really is.
Oh Trevor, I tried to avoid the Peanut Butter and Jelly class last week, and here you are! YIKES ;-)
It’s a great combo. I may start calling it the Reese’s combo.
Hi, what kind of fabrics or can it print on fabrics? Thanks7!
This one is direct to substrate. You would need to use a DTG printer for fabrics.
30K for that bad boy!!!!
But very impressive
Yeah, it’s not on the cheap side but it’s a great machine.
Show yards signs with full. Bleeds
Anything in particular you’re wanting to see or know?
Could you print onto a yoga mat?
You can print onto it but I don’t know how it will hold up. If it’s rigid ink, it most likely won’t hold up to being rolled up over time. If it’s flexible ink, it may but I don’t have any experience with that. That would be a great question for LogoJet.

I’ve been dreaming about buying a UV printer, but the price and maintenance put me off.. I still have it on my sights when the amount of orders justifies buying one. Great video Trev thank you.
I fully understand that dilemma. It’s definitely a bigger investment in time and money than my laser was.

I've always wanted one, but that price tag is... Hard to swallow
Oh trust me, I know the feeling. I couldn’t have don’t this without partnering with LogoJET.
if you have an established biz, and a niche,,,you'll make your money back...if you don't, this is not for you...This is not a start up piece of equipment.
@@davidsanchez9674 definitely not start up. Would be interested to chat about your experience some time.
I really appreciate you making this video and upload it. Making cool stuff with this printer. I wish i have one. and you look a good person 💛🦋🪶
Thank you. I appreciate it.
