The Platinum Program: Eligible UV LED Printers Starting Under $15,000 (USD)*

Join this exclusive program and immediately start leveraging the earning potential of UV LED printing! Purchase an eligible 1024UVDD or 1024UVHS printer today, with the option to trade up to the latest printers in the near future.

Platinum Privileges

The Platinum Program has been designed for customers that require industry-leading UV LED printing capabilities, but want to limit their up-front investment. A limited number of 1024UVHS and 1024UVDD (with Direct Drive) UV LED printers are currently available for purchase under this program, which also provides the option to effortlessly upgrade to a current model 1024UVMVP6 or 1024UVMVP15 any time within 9 months. At the time of upgrade, 70% of the original purchase price** of the Platinum printer will be credited as trade-in value against a new 1024UVMVP6 or 1024UVMVP15 printer at current MSRP. This credit cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount.

A Sound Investment

Packages starting under $15,000 (USD) – Platinum Direct Jet UV LED printers are pre-owned and come equipped with all of the features, application capabilities and print quality of the original machine and have been subjected to the same quality and repeatability testing as all new DCS equipment.

Contact an authorized Direct Color Systems sales representative for further details.

DCS authorized distributor serving the UK

"My experience in inkjet technology runs back some 20 years, but UV LED printer solutions were not something our company offered until recently," says Colin Marsh, Managing Director. "I met with the President and Owner of DCS two years ago in Orlando, FL USA to discuss their industry-best options. As soon as we wanted to bring UV printing to our portfolio, the choice was an easy one. DCS was the only solution that could produce what our customers required."

As they have built their success through word-of-mouth referrals and an unrivaled support reputation, Resolute DTG is excited about the buzz they expect to generate amongst their audience with the UVMVP series of printers. "We like the fact that these machines are not designed for a specific application," Marsh says. "Versatility is a key feature. The reputation of the product, combined with our support, will make the UVMVP series a hard act for other companies to follow. The fact that the machine is much faster than its competitors is an added bonus."

With a perfect blend of understanding customer needs in terms of color and applications, along with a passion to provide solutions and support, Resolute DTG is poised to build upon their company's top-of-the-chart position within the European market in 2015.
