Advantages and limitations of UV printer

UV printer is a new type of printing equipment, which has many advantages and limitations. In this paper, the advantages and limitations of UV printers will be discussed in depth to help readers better understand this kind of equipment.

Multi-material printing

UV printer can break the material limitation and print color photos on the surfaces of various materials, including wood, glass, crystal, PVC, acrylic, plastic, stone, leather and so on. This brings infinite possibilities to users.

One-step molding printing

UV printer can be formed at one time, without plate making, printing and repeated color matching, which is efficient and convenient. Whether it is a simple block color pattern or a full color or gradient color pattern, it can be easily handled.

3D relief stereoscopic effect

UV printer introduces 3D relief stereoscopic effect, which adds unique texture to printed matter. Users can customize patterns through DIY, so that creativity can be infinitely enlarged.

Higher entry cost

The entry cost of UV printers is high, so for first-time investors, more budget considerations may be needed.

The printing speed is slightly insufficient.

Compared with traditional processes such as screen printing and offset printing, the short-run printing speed of UV printer is slightly insufficient.

Factors of choosing UV printer

When choosing a UV printer, you need to choose according to the actual needs. The first thing to consider is the stability of the printer, the choice of nozzle and the maintenance cost in the later period. For example, the price difference between Ricoh G5 nozzle and Toshiba CE4 nozzle and their respective performance characteristics directly affect the cost and use effect of the printer.
