NEW Océ UVgel Technology

November 02, 2016, 05:21:19 PM

I've been getting teasers from the Canon guys on this new technology they are launching in the spring. They wouldn't tell you anything. We're dealers so I got to go to a private "behind the curtain event" to see this new machine. They talked it up like it was the second coming for over a year. They have not released the name of the machine yet and I had to sign some non-disclosures so I can't even talk about it yet. But I can say that it's a UV cured gel 64" roll to roll machine and it blew me away. And my expectations were set pretty high. Hopefully, they will choose us to be used as a beta site so we might get one in January. 

Can't wait to be able to talk about it.

I'm really interested in this, I didn't mean to just post a link and run, but an end of day emergency needed dealing with. Go figure, always at the end of the day.

Can't wait to hear the nitty gritty.
