I get one of the others and find that the games I get don't add to the price of the box. |

Logojet 2400 UV printer. Basically it allows us to print to any surface :D --- End quote --- As an old Lexmark Field Tech, I have to say this thing is impressive. No Image transfer unit needed. I Would be curious about the durability of the prints. Can you remove it with Denatured Alcohol or Acetone? --- End quote --- I’ll give it a test ASAP. |

I have so many questions. Will it ruin a CDR if you try to print a label on it? What is the maximum curvature of a surface can it handel? Are there surfaces that the ink has a hard time adhering to? is the ink flexible (if you print on paper and fold it will the ink crack like toner)? I also use to be an engraver for Things Remembered so this printer is really neat for me. |

It's actually ink, not a resin or anything like that. I'm not sure what they use to emulsify it. It is quite corrosive though (according to Logojet). • Will it ruin a CDR if you try to print a label on it? Not sure. I would wager that it would probably get along better with one of those inkjet printable discs though. • What is the maximum curvature of a surface can it handel? Between 4-6mm of deflection. It'll do more, but the image quality will deteriorate significantly. • Are there surfaces that the ink has a hard time adhering to? Yes, but they have a special primer made just for those surfaces (basically anything that isn't porous, like glass, glazed ceramics, acrylic sheet, etc). • Is the ink flexible (if you print on paper and fold it will the ink crack like toner)? There is an option for flexible ink, but we didn't go that route, as we don't have any plans for printing on soft/flexible surfaces. I believe there are edible ink options for some of these printers as well... I've been making jigs and testing non-stop since Wednesday. Made these today. |
