Flatbed UV Printing Machines

Flatbed UV printing machines are designed to print directly onto rigid and thick materials placed on a fixed table. They deliver high-resolution results on glass, wood, metal, acrylic, PVC and composite surfaces without any intermediate transfer step. Because UV ink cures within seconds, there is no drying wait after printing and production flows without interruption.

The Docan flatbed range offered by Pass Dijital covers different production scales, from desktop volumes to industrial table sizes, with Ricoh Gen6, Kyocera and Epson i3200-U1 printhead options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flatbed UV Printing Machines

Which materials can a flatbed UV printing machine print on?

Glass, wood, metal, acrylic, PVC, composite panel and ceramic can be printed directly. The surface needs to be flat or slightly curved; the material thickness limit depends on the table clearance of the machine.

What is the difference between flatbed and roll to roll printing?

Flatbed machines print on rigid materials placed on a fixed table, while roll to roll systems process flexible media such as vinyl and banner in roll form. Hybrid models are available for businesses that want to combine both jobs in a single machine.

Why does printhead selection matter?

Printhead technology directly determines print speed, resolution and ink compatibility. Ricoh Gen6 and Kyocera heads offer high speed and industrial durability, while Epson i3200-U1 stands out for fine detail accuracy.
