How to choose a suitable small UV printer?

Currently, there are many options and configurations for large or small UV machines on the market.

As companies and individual buyers who are preparing to purchase, how should they judge and choose the UV printer that suits their needs?

And what configuration is best to choose?

Next, let’s follow the Giftec team to understand the models, advantages and disadvantages of small UV printers.

1、Choose a UV printer model based on the type and size of the product media you need to print

• Choice of printing format

The conventional small UV printer models on the market mainly have a printing size of 60×90cm.

If the length and width of the product you need to print is 60×90cm, and the thickness is within 200mm, then the 6090 specification model can be the first choice.

If you need to increase the printing height, you can customize it.

• Print color configuration selectio

After confirming the printing format, you can choose the color configuration according to the required printing solution.

If your printed products are mainly white and mainly flat color printing, select the CMYK configuration.

If you need to take into account some color media printing and need concave and convex effects, you can choose CMYK+W.

If you need to print varnish to make the visual effect of the printed picture more prominent,

and the picture needs to be waterproof and wear-resistant, you can choose CMYK+W+V (varnish).

This color configuration can not only print three-dimensional relief effects,

but also take into account the current popular Three-dimensional crystal logo, label label printing, etc.

If your product only needs to be printed in a single color, such as a single black or white,

you can consult the Giftec team to customize the color configuration for printing only a single color.

If you feel that the four colors of CMYK are not enough,

you can also consult the Giftec team to customize the six-color color scheme of CMYK+LC+LM.

If you also need printing solutions such as digital foil stamping,

please consult the Giftec team to customize the printing solution.

2、Choose a printhead model based on usage and budget

• Low configuration modified version printhead

This type of configuration is mainly based on modified print heads such as XP600 and TX800.

Compared with the official print heads, these two print heads have poorer durability,

higher usage costs, and slower printing speeds, they are for cost-effective option.

If you pursue durability, print quality and good use experience, not recommended.

• High-end official version print head

This type of configuration is mainly based on the official I3200U and I1600U print heads authorized by Epson,

Which have high overall cost performance and better printing accuracy, quality, durability and stability.

With better user experience and lower maintenance cost, it has become one of the printhead series mainly promoted by Epson authorized manufacturers.

• Special purpose high-jet print head

This type of configuration is mainly based on the Ricoh G5i print head. It is used to print some products with curve/ uneven height differences, or high-speed rotating cylinder printing models.

It has high jet intensity and moderate durability. But the printhead price has been crazily increasing recently so not the top recommended option now.

3、Mechanical design materials and workmanship judgment

• The 6090 uv flatbed printer uses a high-temperature quenching frame, and the platform is a high-precision aluminum oxide suction platform. At the same time, the X-axis uses HIWIN linear rail, Z-axis is with 4 linear rails, Y-axis is with 2 linear rails + 1 ball screws, which has higher linearity and transmission accuracy. The performance of ordinary brands cannot be achieved.

• The servo motor adopts a Lead-shine or Panasonic motor, the Y-axis adopts a silver ball screw, the cross beam adopts a one-time molded aluminum beam, the belt adopts an Italian McGuody belt, and the wrapped wire harness and ink tube components adopt a German Igus drag chain. This type of mainstream quality model configuration can ensure the long-term stability of the equipment and reduce the failure rate.

• The 6090 platform is a fixed & calibrated flatbed with accuracy of 0.1mm, with longer X-axis guide rails and a screw drive for the Y-axis. For the purpose of user experience and long-term operation stability, the 6090 model is designed not only to be more stable in long-term operation, but also to print faster.

4、Functional design of hardware modules

The 6090 UV printer is equipped with

All designs are only to provide more convenient, faster but also a more stable quality printing and easier maintenance on the uv printer.
