DCS E-Newsletter July 2014
New Printer Models Featuring our Bulk Ink System™ are Now Available

New Bulk Ink System UV Printer Models

The Bulk Ink System™ is one of many industry best in class features that has made the workhorse Direct Jet 1024UVMVP printer so popular. DCS is pleased to announce that this efficiency-boosting ink system is now standard on new Direct Jet 1024UVHSB, 1024UVB and 1014UVB models.

These new models are also equipped with our White Ink Circulation System, which automatically circulates the entire white ink vessel.

With high-production environments in mind, the Bulk Ink System™ was born. Unlike single-use cartridges, this system allows for 100% utilization of available ink. With refillable 300ml, industrial-strength stainless steel tanks, users spend less time on ink maintenance – and more time producing profitable prints and products.

Print full color on woodStarted in 2003, Eagle's Mark Awards & Signs based in Murrieta, CA produces personalized products that include awards, promotional items, business gifts, personalized urns, signage and much more.

Using a complete set of modern technologies that include laser engravers, sand etchers, and full color direct print with solvent and UV LED printers, Eagle's Mark Awards & Signs has been creatively meeting the demand of businesses, government, military and many types of non-profit organizations for the last 11 years.

"We purchased a Direct Jet 1024UV because it was a much less labor intensive and a much higher quality process than sublimation," says Bob Hagel, President. "For our products, the durable UV ink prints look great for many years. I don't have to worry about the inks in harsh or wet environments like commercial kitchens."

All of the technologies and production processes used by Eagle's Mark Awards & Signs offer a unique advantage to their customers, but none more than their UV LED printer. "One of the biggest benefits we can give our clients is speed and quality. Our clients are wowed by the results of the 1024UV. The texture of the ink is impressive. We continue to offer new products to our customers that they may not have come to us for – items like phone cases."
