Choosing the right UV flatbed printer depends on matching it to your specific needs.—This covers printing materials,production scale,budget range,and requirements for accuracy and efficiency.
I. Define Your application
Different projects require different types of printers:
Ntek Small-Batch Customization/Startups: Such as phone cases,T-shirts,gift boxes,and personalized decorations,a small-format printer(YC1610 or YC6090 size)is ideal. It’s affordable,compact,and easy to use.
Ntek Advertising/Signage Production: Such as acrylic signs,light boxes,display boards,etc.Choose a medium-sized,entry-level industrial printer.Supports CMYK+W(white ink) configuration and can process rigid materials.
Ntek Building materials/furniture/mass production: If you’re printing on large surfaces like tiles,glass,or custom furniture,you’ll need a bigger,industrial-grade printer (like the 2513 model). It’s designed for large formats,high drop distances,and faster production.
II. Check the key parameters:Determines print quality and efficiency:
1.Print Size:Choose based on the maximum material size you’ll be printing. Common options include YC6090,YC2030,YC2513 and YC3321.
Always leave a safety margin—if you need to print something 2.5m × 1.3m, go for a 2513 or larger model.
2.Nozzle Type:depends on time and stability.
Eps printheads:Low cost,suitable for small-scale processing,but prone to clogging with prolonged use and not suitable for high-intensity operations.
Ricoh G5/G6 printheads:Industrial-grade standard,high precision,and strong stability;suitable for large-scale production;higher price but durable.
Suggestion:If the budget allows,prioritize choosing Ricoh printheads,especially for commercial applications such as advertising and building materials.
3.Print Resolution (DPI):
Generally, the resolution is between 600×1200 dpi and 1200×1200 dpi.
600×1200 dpi is sufficient for everyday advertising signage; 1200 dpi or higher is recommended for art reproduction or high-end packaging.
4.UV Ink Configuration:
CMYK:Basic four-color, great for light-colored materials.
CMYK + W (White Ink):Essential for dark materials.
CMYK + W + V (Varnish):For advanced effects like spot varnishing, embossing, and reverse UV printing—perfect for high-end products like gift boxes or crystal labels.
III.Our Advantages
Vacuum Suction Platform:Keeps materials in place, which is especially important for thin materials like paper.
LED UV Lamp:Low-heat lamps reduce the risk of warping materials, great for delicate or heat-sensitive items.
Software Compatibility:Works with popular RIP software like PhotoPrint and Maintop, making color management and bulk printing easier.
After-Sales Service:Choose a brand that offers on-site installation, training, and a one-year warranty to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
