Definitely not entry level. Dude did the wrong research

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Entry level doesn't necessarily imply bad or mediocre. In the beginning of the video I mentioned the criteria for what I was considering entry level. The criteria were 4x8 bed, had to print white and clear and come in under $100k. Since the majority of the 4x8 flatbed printers exceed $150k, I would consider a 4x8 bed under $100k "entry level" no matter how good a printer is. The Epson printer is amazing there is no disputing that. As for my research, I sold wide format printers for more than 20 years and Epson wide format printers for over 10 years so I'm pretty familiar with the product lines and their capabilities.

@@graphicinsights466 …. People think entry level printers come from Best Buy, or some other box store. And if you’re looking for those type of printers then Best Buy should work. But when you get to commercial grade and industrial level printing the the price difference is significantly higher. I paid $6500 for my used Roland VersaCamm and it was a great deal. So I get it! Thank you!

An entry level flatbed UV printer is gonna be starting at $70 grand. If you get anything cheaper, you're buying cheap chinese BS that will break and you'll have no support.

I appreciate that you determined what entry level meant to you at the start, but $100k is more like 'established small business' level and not entry. If entry, it's more like retired boomer with too much money in their savings entry level (and man do I wish that was me, sounds fun). What I think a lot of us are looking for is what we can buy to enter the market and learn, aka true entry level. $100k is quite a lot for an entry/starter machine! Maybe you look at entry level as already practicing and ready to start a small scale established business? If so, I can see it, and this is a nice list. A list of true entry level or 'starter/learner' UV flatbed printers would be really nice. Or is around $10k/$1k or less simply not good quality? If so, then I can understand where this video comes from. I just wish that bell sound didn't blow out my speakers every few minutes, because I do like your presentation style.

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment, I do appreciate the feedback. You are correct in saying this list is more for an established business that has been creating graphics and is looking to enter into UV flatbeds market to increase sales or grow their business to the next level. Please stick around as I have a video coming out shortly that does discuss smaller UV entry level flatbed printers and a couple of alternatives. Working on the script now.

man, if i get into this business. i need to know where to get acrylic blanks wholesale ., pvc and foam boards., I WOULD GO for the MIMAKI for sure and what would be the best CNC CUTTER to cut all the boards.

If you’re in Hawaii it looks like One Shot Supplies would have sheets of foam coro and acrylic. If you’re in the lower 48 there’s plenty of places like Laird plastics, Grimco and Glantz. As for the CNC Mimaki has a good one. I would also look at Colex. If you don’t plan on cutting ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) then you could also look at the Summa F Series. If you have a bigger budget for a cutter there is always a Zund.

I'm certainly capable of making a mistake and I strive to put the most accurate info in my videos so I went back and double checked Mimaki's site and actually the 2513 (discussed in the video) does have 3 heads. It may be confused with the 2531 which only has 2 heads.

They are pricey but can pay for themselves quickly when you take into consideration the time saved from trimming and mounting graphics to substrates. The production flatbeds usually start at $125k and average $150-250k. There are a few over $500k.

We live in a world where a pickup truck costs 100k. So a wide format UV printer that is delivered, set up, calibrated, with full parts and service warranty, with two days on site training, and helping purchaser setup first production runs, for 100k, well, that is a far better value than aforementioned truck.
