Application of UV Flatbed Printer

Application of UV Flatbed Printer

1. POP display board

POP display boards are one of the most important applications of wide-format images, including digital inkjet, printing or screen printing, accounting for a total of 42% of the wide-format image market. Using UV ink to directly print on hard boards, such as: KT board, acrylic board, plexiglass board, etc., reduces the trouble of lamination, fading, and foaming, and saves a lot of labor.

2. Hard sign

The production of hard signs is very similar to POP, and it is also a beneficiary of flatbed printers. Flatbed printers using UV ink can directly print on the final sign material, such as metal, wood, plastic, etc. Compared with the traditional method: spraying or printing on the adhesive-backed film material and then pasting it, it not only reduces the process, reduces the cost, but also increases the firmness.

3. Cardboard or corrugated packaging

Another well-established target application area for flatbed printers is packaging, a large industry with an estimated global market of more than $80 billion. Packaging companies that primarily use flexography, screen printing, and stencil printing can purchase flatbed printers for proofing and direct output for low-volume custom customers.

4. Professional market (special products and decoration market)

The last field of application is the professional market, or personalization market. Inkjet toilet lids belong to this market, and other potential opportunities include: glass, ceramics, wood panels, and even furniture. In general: we should first aim at the low-efficiency, low-capacity manual or semi-automatic screen printing market. Flatbed printers are more suitable for small-batch personalized production, while the cost of traditional production is very high, especially if there are A high raw material inventory cost.

If there are thousands of flatbed printers in use worldwide, it is clear that there is a quantifiable and growing market for flatbed printers. In the near future, because the production capacity of the manufacturer cannot meet the market demand, many customers will wait for a long time after placing an order. Based on this optimistic view of the flatbed printer market, flatbed printers will one day be ubiquitous, more popular than inkjet systems.

Environmentally friendly UV ink

Flat-panel inkjet printers use UV ink. As countries pay more attention to environmental protection, there will be stricter market specifications for environmentally friendly equipment and auxiliary media. It is worth mentioning here the advantages of using UV ink, which are characterized by: stable printing, bright colors, high curing strength, low curing energy, environmental protection and no peculiar smell. The multi-applicability and broad application prospects of UV ink provide customers with more development opportunities.
