Docan Solvent Printing Machines

Solvent printing machines deliver the highest resistance to outdoor conditions thanks to their strong solvent-based inks. Because they produce long-lasting results against sun, rain and mechanical abrasion, they are preferred for applications such as billboards, facade banners and vehicle wrapping.

This category includes the high-precision Docan solvent model. To compare solvent and ecosolvent technologies in detail, you can also review our ecosolvent printing machines page.

Frequently Asked Questions About Docan Solvent Printing Machines

Which jobs is solvent printing best suited to?

It suits work that will remain outdoors for long periods and be exposed to weather. Billboards, facade banners, construction screens and vehicle wrapping are the most common applications.

Is ventilation required when a solvent printer is running?

Yes. Solvent inks contain a high proportion of volatile organic compounds, so the working area must be ventilated effectively. Ecosolvent systems are more suitable for indoor applications.

Are solvent printers expensive to maintain?

Solvent ink tends to dry, so regular maintenance such as printhead cleaning and wiper replacement is required. With regular maintenance the machine lasts longer and the risk of printhead failure drops significantly.
