Overview

UV printers (large wide format printers) use UV-curable inks and built-in lamps to print directly onto rigid and flexible substrates. Common in signage, point-of-sale, packaging and industrial graphics, they come as flatbed, hybrid or roll-to-roll configurations. Key buyer factors include printhead type, cure system, bed size, resolution, ink compatibility and production speed. They handle PVC, acrylic, wood, glass and some textiles with minimal post-processing.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used UV printer?

Inspect printhead condition and hours, lamp life and replacements, service records, test prints for banding or color shifts, RIP/software licenses, vacuum table function, drive belts and motors, and availability of spare parts and inks.

How should a UV printer be prepared and shipped?

Secure and crate the machine, drain or cap ink lines, lock or remove fragile parts, secure printheads and carriages, label electrical disconnects, use a carrier experienced with heavy-format printers and insure the shipment.

What routine maintenance keeps a UV printer reliable?

Daily printhead capping and purging, regular nozzle checks and alignments, clean platen and vacuum beds, monitor and replace UV lamps per hours, service pumps and filters, and keep firmware/RIP software updated.
