Teckwin TeckSmart UV1600, TeckSmart UV2500 UV-curable flatbed printers
 |
Tecksmart 1600UV at FESPA trade show 2007 |
The Teckwin TeckSmart UV1600 and Teck UV S2400 seemed to be current models two years ago. But at ISA 2007 and FESPA ’07 the two models were the TeckSmart UV2500 and UV1600. The Teck UV S2400 has nowhere to be seen in the last two years.
The Teckwin TeckUV1800 appears to be an earlier model that is not around, or at least not featured. A larger model in another series is the TeckSmart UV S3000. I have not seen that at any recent trade show in Europe or the US. But at FESPA ’07 in Berlin this was exhibited and it was at least possible to learn the correct name: TeckUV S3000 and TeckUV S2400.
Teckwin has a professional-looking website of international quality. The Teckwin site is light years ahead of those of their other Chinese competitors. But, every distributor, in the US and Israel, has dropped Teckwin printers after trying them: Gerber, 3M, and Matan no longer show Gerber solvent printers at US trade shows. Why?
That’s what we have the FLAAR Reports for. And this is why you can hire Dr Nicholas Hellmuth as a consultant. In fact if you purchase any four UV reports, you can telephone him and ask your questions directly.
But in 2007, a new dealer/distributor has bravely taken on the Teckwin UV 1600 and UV 2500. We discuss this in the FLAAR Reports.

| TeckSmart UV1600 UV printer being uncrated and set up in Guatemala. FLAAR has an office a few kilometers from here and the tech manager at the Teckwin distributor is the former tech manager at FLAAR-Latin America (FLAAR also has an office at a US university and is opening a FLAAR Europe office associated in Europe later this year). As soon as it is possible to undertake a site-visit case study we can judge to what degree this printer is potentially better than other Chinese-made printers that we have tested. We are also currently evaluating a Raster Printers Daytona H700UV and have an upcoming site-visit on this Flora-related Chinese printer. |

Yaselan UV printers
Yishan UV printers
We have FLAAR Fast Facts reports on every Chinese UV printer that we can find, even on the Yishan (try finding a report on that elsewhere). So if you need to learn about the various Chinese UV flatbed printers, the FLAAR Reports are a good place to start.
Our FLAAR Reports have separate reports that cover the Infiniti UV and the Flora 1.8 meter UV.
We also have a special report on Chinese solvent ink printers.
Entry-level UV printers made in Europe and the USA, with reliable tech support
Most print shops and sign franchise shops prefer a printer with experienced tech support in their own language and available readily across the USA or Canada. The printers in this category would be
If you buy any five of the above reports you can speak by phone or communicate by e-mail directly with the author, Dr Hellmuth. This consulting is at no additional cost once you have purchased the above reports.
Or if you buy either UV Series 1, or UV Series 2, plus any two individual UV printer reports, you can also ask questions directly and personally with Professor Hellmuth. If you prefer to come to any trade show and walk into each booth together with Nicholas. You will certainly get a different reception than walking in by yourself. You can hire FLAAR as a consultant and speak with him, or bring him to your office anywhere in the world, he is available as a consultant for a professional consulting fee.
But just to chat with him on the phone or have him answer your e-mail directly, just buy an appropriate quantity of reports and you get direct access to the author at no cost.
