Currently, the wide-format printing market is booming. With the joint effort of high-precision, high cost-performance UV roll to roll printers and multi-function, multi-media UV flatbed printers, the advanced UV printing technology revolutionizes the development of inkjet printer market. It’s just 10 years ever since UV flatbed printers appear, but rapidly gain lots of market share in such a short time. The main reason is ease-of-use operation and flexible print solutions.
UV flatbed printer is a new technology that breaks through the limitation that inkjet printers can only print on soft media. It truly realizes one-offs, no plate-making, full-color image printing. It’s an important turning point in the history of inkjet, marking the inkjet technology taps into multiple fields. https://www.wer-china.com/uv-printing-samples
Why UV printers can get so much more rapid development?
1. More personalized
With the development of economy and society, the pursuit of people is more than well fed and clothed but to be unique. UV printers can best meet the needs of clients and transform designers’ creative ideas into reality. The image effect on the computer is the ultimate print effect, once customers feel satisfied, you can make it directly. UV printing finished products are fine details, smooth gradations, embossed effects, and photo-realistic quality.
2. Advanced technology
The full-color image is completed once, the gradient colorfully achieves the photo effect. Accurate positioning and zero scrap rate save a lot of manpower and material resources, realizing the real non-printing, single sheet and batch processing. The cost is consistent, and customers can also complete short and medium-sized jobs cost-effectively, helping the company to increase business opportunities and profits.
3. More widely used
There are a broad range of UV flatbed printers substrates, soft media such as: reflective film, canvas, carpet, leather, etc.; rigid media such as: glass, wooden crafts photo frame, ceiling, aluminum, wood, door panels, acrylic Board, plexiglass board, Chevron board, corrugated board, plastic board, resin board, gypsum board, etc.; various product cover media such as: music player cover, camera cover, Bluetooth earphone cover, mobile phone cover, refrigerator cover, laptop outer cover can be printed.
4. Green and environmental protection
No water, no sewage, UV flatbed printer is controlled by the computer, drop on demand inkjet, neither waste nor water pollution, no noise during printing, and achieve a pollution-free green production process.
Several major applications of UV flatbed printers:
1. Advertising industry
This is the most widely used applications since the number of advertising stores, advertising companies, and market audiences are also the most extensive. Although there is no shortage of orders, the profit is relatively low due to the large competition.
2. Building materials industry
The custom-made 3D embossed-effect background wall is particularly popular in the past years, not only in high demand but also in high added value. However, the threshold of this industry is relatively high. A UV flatbed printer is not enough. Professionally, it also needs equipment such as a coating machine, engraving machine, laminating machine and sandblasting machine, with a total investment of 40,000 to 60,000 dollars.
3. Digital product industry
Many people in this industry are familiar with the fact that the mobile phone case represented by DIY is on fire. A plastic shell plus printing cost less than 1 dollar, while the market sells 15 dollars. Many users can recover the investment in two months. Although they have cooled down in recent years, after all, the mobile phones are constantly changing, and the custom printing requirements of the shells will not change. There are iPad leather cases, keyboards, mousepads, and other digital products for cover printing.
4. Crafts industry
A variety of small items, combs, hairpins, eyeglass frames, packaging boxes, pins, wine bottles, bottle caps, decorative paintings on the commodity market. The surface of hundreds of materials can be printed with a UV printer. This industry has a strong regional character and is often concentrated in the source of supply.
In addition to the above four hot industries, there are many industries that we are familiar with:
Packaging industry: alcohol (paper packaging printing, wooden packaging printing, metal packaging printing, PVC, packaging printing, leather packaging printing, plexiglass packaging printing, etc.).
Decoration industry: background wall (tile wall, glass background wall, PVC gusset background wall, marble background wall, microcrystalline composite background wall, carved background wall) PVC gusset plate, PVC resin plate…etc. …. used in the entire decoration industry
Glass industry: art glass, glass partition, glass sliding door, glass background wall, frosted glass, transparent glass, plexiglass, tempered glass, glass curtain wall, etc…
Leather goods: leather, women shoes, leather bags, handbags, travel bags, belts, etc.
Stationery gifts: pen case, notebook, wave board, dot reading machine, CD, metal business card holder, various material bookmarks, toys, etc.
Hardware and plastic: lighter, golf ball, silicone, digital photo frame, crystal, aluminum plate, metal plate, plastic products, tissue box, glasses frame, instrument panel, packaging box, toys, etc.
Electronic appliances: U disk, MP 3/ MP4/MP5 player, computer case, home appliance, air conditioner, washing machine, rice cooker, mobile phone, crystal mobile phone case, electronic components, etc.
