The all new Direct Jet 1800z UV printer models builds upon the success of the DCS 1800 printer platform and bed size. The machine’s design takes into consideration years of valuable customer feedback/data on the 1800z models and it has been used to make significant changes under the covers of the 1800s. Not only has the durability and serviceability of the model range increased, but there have also been significant advancements on the performance and production side that you will appreciate as well.
