  • Matan Sprinter for sale

    Posted by Steve Parkinson on 24 November 2006 at 22:58

    Hi I have a Matan sprinter A for sale
    Selling off for spare parts as it requires a new print head the rest of the printer works but there is a big scratch on the black head and would cost at least 2k to replace.
    When this printer was new it would have cost around £140,000 and was quoted at printing at 60sq2 m per hour & 3 – 5 year UV on Vinyl without lamination.

    If there’s any one still running one of these and would like to know more
    call Steve on 07774 239 328

    If my memory serves me correctly (which it usually doesn’t) I think it is. Didn’t realise they were that much new though, could have bought a very nice Ferarri for that & still had nearly enough change to insure it :lol1:

    yeh, looks like ribbons under the hood… i havent seen one of these before. but thats a hell of a speed for a thermal machine if it is thermal…

    It has 4 colour resin ribbons 900mm wide which can be swapped out for swap colours inc white etc.

    The Matan was expensive when it 1st came onto the scene as there was nothing out there that could match it’s speed and UV durability. It’s probably 6-8 years ago that it was 1st launched in the UK.
