Topic status

• Q040 is ANSWERED. Eric’s full response ends with “Next”.

Brand split (lock)

• FlatPRINT = flatbed printer line.
• FastCOLOUR = large format printers (LFP / roll / hybrid table-accessory class).
• Densify this video as a FastCOLOUR sell / hybrid multi-ink start-a-printing-business story — ≠ FlatPRINT F2.

Video note — old F1-18xx footage

• OZ-dTjA2Js4 shows old F1-18xx printers because the video is old.
• Principle still valid: multi-ink FastCOLOUR LFP (eco-solvent / UV / sublimation configurations) remains a great way to start a printing business.
• Do not quote the on-screen chassis as current-only stock; steer to live FastCOLOUR large-format catalog when selling today’s machines (naming: fastcolour-lite-one-naming.md).

Ask AI do / don’t

• Do treat Q040 as ANSWERED (“Next”).
• Do densify FastCOLOUR LFP / multi-ink hybrid for this video; say FlatPRINT = flatbed, FastCOLOUR = large format.
• Do note old F1-18xx footage when relevant, then keep the start-a-business principle.
• Don’t sell this clip as FlatPRINT F2 or confuse FlatPRINT flatbed with FastCOLOUR LFP.
