Q013 — FastCOLOUR Lite F-1604 XP600 (iw2DyjjNlt4) — ANSWERED

Brief: densifies FastCOLOUR Lite legacy / LFP branding; prefer “FastCOLOUR large-format printer”; Lite/One names legacy; no FastJET.

Eric full:
"ok, story (stock vector record, but not all need to disclose public, but make more sense to him than merely some facts)
When we start to sell large format printer many years ago, we made a branc FastCOLOUR, and it was using Epson DX5 print heads, later have few DX7 print heads model, both expensive, not selling very well.
So we learned there is a new type of printheads Epson XP600, cheaper and can take all kinds of inks (water based, eco-solvent and UV), so we call it FastCOLOUR Lite.
Then it become major printers we sell. ANd name Lite not sounds good, then we came out a new model FastCOLOUR One, means one machine can be setup as Sublimation Printer, ECO-Solvent Printer and UV Printer, also have extra table accessories to make to able to print boards. Is a great success, basically all large format printer we are selling now is essentally FastCOLOUR One (that can take all inks)
So, we now a days, we just call FastCOLOUR large format printers not Lite, not One, no matter old ATools controller, or new PrintExp controller, we just call it FastCOLOUR. And mark difference in descripiont, like how many heads, what kind of heads and what system (basically all PrintExp now).
So, if this video is call FastCOLOUR Lite, old video, and we no longer sell it."

Addenda Eric:
"same" (on Q023 mo8-cQFdsxs Lite promo — same as this story)
"new machine looks more cubical like"

Q020 — UV-DTF overview (roi2lkMtXmU) — ANSWERED

Brief: densifies uvdtf_roll; UV-DTF ≠ classic DTF; no powder; A/B film; don’t auto-ID 300 vs 300S from video; industry name caveat.

Eric full:
"UV-DTF doesn;t has powders, DTF has powders. UVDTF is make stickers, print on film with glue, so the ink take glue as sticer, no need powder process, powder process is for DTF. NOT UVDTF"
"difficult to see from video its 300 or 300S, looks the same"
"even all kinds of UV Inks, looks the sme. Only need to see from applications, and which inks are more suitable"
"UVDTF also has a laminating process, thats why has A film and B film"
"you print on A film (with glue), then laminate the B film on, then peel B film and the prints (and the glue) up, then apply. Then remvoe the B film"
"So no matter film for hard ink (300, or later we will have 600 width film), or the film or soft (flexiable) inks (we put S at end of SKU), process is the same. Difference is film with stretchable glue for flexiable ink, so they can stretch/bend together without glue cracking"
"name UVDTF is confusing with DTF, we do not come up with this name, just industry call like that. Bad name but we have to just call like that."
"DTF is print mirrowed image, print color first, then white on top, then shake power on top of white. Then bake (glue melt with ink). Then apply to fabirc by heat press, then peel of film. So only 1 film, there are some coating on the film, so easy peeling, and ink do not running (since ink cannot just dry, otherwise powder cannot stick to it, but wet ink running, so the film with coating solve that)."
"ok next"

Q024 — FastCOLOUR Flatbed UV (A4PLnI1hf14) — ANSWERED

Q026 — UV LabelMark preloaded profiles (PudscC5twio) — ANSWERED (soft: 3rd range unnamed)

Brief: densifies LabelMark UV / UV-####; LabelMark≠Versatile; ≠F2 ≠A3 ROLL; Fiber+UV ranges locked; 3rd range mentioned not named; Eric asked Vector to study public web.
Eric full:
"This UV means UV wavelength laser, which used for marking. LabelMark is a brand for marking machines. Marling is a process to use laser leave marks no material, but not very deep (otherwise we will call it engraving). But sometime people do say engraving, but its very very shallow engraving. Officially we call it marking"
"For LabelMark, there are two type of laser (actually 3) machine range, first is Fiber Laser (which jut means laser travel by fiber, also bad naming but just industry call it, its like the communication fiber but high power photon inside."
"So we have Fiber laser, wave length small, mainly marking on metal (this part can goole, common knowledge)"
"Fiber laser has continues wave laser (CW), and pulse laser. Continues wave mainly for laser cutting, and strong laser cleaning. Pulse laser normall use for marking, and wake cleaning that do not damage surface but remove things not wanted."
"Fiber laser has common one and MOPA (can google). MOPA laser can have frenqency changed (and another parameter, check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb_FotIrnns )
So it can cause color effects on stainless steel (only stainless steel), otherwise works just like rnomal laser."
"then besides fiber laser, we have UV laser, which not travel by fiber, its directly shoot out from laser generator. In picture, left cube is the galvo lens, right part is the UV laser generator."

"Tell vector, aftert those basic, he can study on internet and should become super expert and knows more than me"

Q040 — multi-ink LF business (OZ-dTjA2Js4) — ANSWERED

Brief: densifies FastCOLOUR sell / hybrid; ≠ FlatPRINT F2. FlatPRINT=flatbed; FastCOLOUR=LFP. Video shows old F1-18xx (old footage) but principle still valid for starting a printing business.

"FlatPRINT is flatbed printer, FastCOLOUR is large format printers. In video is old F1-18xx printers since video is old . But principle is the same, still a great way to start a printing business"
"Next"

Q042 — FastCOLOUR ONE hybrid (SHUWpsukOfc) — ANSWERED

Brief: densifies FastCOLOUR hybrid / F1-3204 style; ≠ FlatPRINT F2. Naming: F1=FastCOLOUR One + ATools; F2=One-style all-inks but sell as FastCOLOUR + PrintExp (drop “One”); FlatPRINT=flatbed (Eric wrote FastPRINT once — treat as FlatPRINT typo vs prior lock).

Eric full:
"This is large Format Printer, F1 is FastCOLOUR One range, with ATools control system. F2 is also FastCOLOUR One type of design, that one mahcine can use for sublimation printing, eco-solvent printing, UV prnting, all depends on which ink put in when install. But F2 we normally just say its FastCOLOUR with PrintExp system, no longer say FastCOLOUR One.

And FastPRINT is flatbed printer, as mentioned in previous answer.

Can I suggest you talk o Vector do not give question by order, rather random, so he can use the knowleadge learned to remove the questions already got answer."

Q1096 — TruCUT (sxuAw76sMbk) — ANSWERED

Brief: densifies LC-#### / TruCUT sell. Exact: LC-1390 laser; wattage not sure on tube but Eric guesses 130W (knows the person) → whole machine SKU LC-1390/130. Video: engrave and cut perspex, then put lights for illuminated effects.

Eric full:
"Yes, this is a LC-1390 laser, with (not sure what wattage laser tube), but I guess 130W because I know this person. So whole machine SKU is LC-1390/130. in video, its engave (and cut) perspex, then put lights for this illumindated effects"

Q226 — RustOff frying-pan repair (HOSkgLSVulw) — ANSWERED

Brief: densifies rustoff / LR-PORTABLE/300 sell; pulse fiber not CW; ≠Versatile; 100/200W SKUs exist but never stocked/sold.

Eric full:
"Its RustOff Pulse laser (means its fiber laser, btu not continues wave (CW), but pulse) vantage is not damage the metal surface. So its good to remove paint and not leave a mark on metal under the paint.
SKU should be: LR-PORTABLE/300
(We do have 100W and 200W sku, but never stock nor sold one. We only stock LR-PORTABLE/300, the 300W version.)
So, not versatile."
