Raster Daytona H700UV Hybrid Flatbed Printer
The Daytona H700UV is a 72-inch wide hybrid production printer with top photo quality output comparable to 2400 dpi images. The printer uses Toshiba Tec's CA4 gray scale print heads with drop sizes ranging from 6 pL to 42 pL. The H700UV is said to produce the finest detail and gradients in highlights and the most saturated solid colors. "The gamut of the inks is amazing, the colors really pop," says Donnie Massari, the shops' general manager.
"We also like the unit's white ink option. We print on black coreplast and lay the white ink on that, so we use less ink. The vacuum belt media transport system offers us a versatile media handling for printing on a wide variety of rigid and roll substrates up to 100 pounds in weight and 1.8 inches thick. This feature gives us the advantage of printing on a 15 foot piece of lexan so we re not limited to the size of the bed," adds Massari.
Lazofsky is happy with the tech support they've gotten this far. "The support has been phenomenal. When we installed it they had their engineer, who had designed the printer, fly out and spend five days with us teaching us how to use it. Raster president Rak Kumar even flew out to visit and to take a look at the machine in our shop."
