Seiko industrial print head is the right print head for UV flatbed printer 



The comparison between Seiko and Epson print head


1. Long life of print head: Seiko print heads with a service life of 1.5-3 years. That is why we choose them for our UV flatbed printers and didn't sellect the Epson head, although Epson print head is cheaper. Because Epson head usually causes jam problems when it print with UV ink. Its life span will not be more than 3 months. 
2. Long time working: Seiko print head can keep 24-hour continuously working without problems, Epson print heads can't keep a continous working.
3. High print speed, but don't lose print quality: Our UV flatbed printer with Seiko industrial grade print heads, the max speed is 36 sqm/h. If higher speed is need, no problem. Fix 6+6 print heads in the printhead carrier, and make the print speed up to 72 sqm/h. But Epson print heads can't reach to such speed.
4. 3D and embossing effect: These printing effects are not able to be done by Epson printhead.

Generally says Epson print head focus on the print quality of pictures, but it is not suitable for industrial printing, not suitable for UV ink. 





The comparison between Seiko and Ricoh print head


1.The most important thing is that the price of Ricoh printhead is more expensive, relatively the price of UV flatbed printer will cost more money.
2.The featured characteristic of Ricoh print head is one head controls 2 colors. It usually makes troubles for washing the print head and limits its service life . Contrastly, Seiko head is not with this problem.
3.The third important thing is Ricoh print head can’t print a picture with embossing effect.
4.The fixed FPC of Ricoh head can be easily broken, also is a shortage of this print head.




Although Ricoh print heads is better than Epson heads for industry use, and it does have high printing speed and high quality printing, we still sellected Seiko print head for our UV flatbed printer. Because Seiko print head is economy, high printing quality, high printing speed and can print out an embossing effect. Seiko industrial print head is the most used print head for UV printing machine. Almost 70% UV flatbed printers are carried with Seiko print heads. 




Generly, when choosing a print head for UV flatbed printer must make an overall condsideration.

Probably, You may have a problem of maintaining stock for your paper/leather/textile products, such as calendars, notebooks, handbags, suitcase, backpacks, T-shirt and etc, because there are many models have to manage. If they couldn’t be sold out during a season time, they will leave in warehouse and make problems. Acturely, it is a commen problem of traditional printing process. But UV flatbed printer won't cause this problem.

Recently, we received dozens of free calendars from a famous Chinese office products brand, but they are last year’s calenders. Why they kept products of last year in stock? Because they could not sell out the stock in time last year. So they are going to buy a UV flatbed printer which can print customized products to improve their current situation.

Last month, an Indian friend contact us for a solution of improving their stock problems. He is a big PLG stove manufacturer, importing toughened glass stove surface from China, then print the stove surface locally. But they can't manage their stocks, because of there are so many types. So finally their need a UV flatbed printer to improve their situation.


Hereby, recommed ZC-2513 UV flatbed printer to solve the above problems.
1. Work on leather, paper and textile material: No problem.
2. Big printing size: the printing bed of UV2513 is 2500 x 1300mm. Printing matrial thickness is no limited (It can be designed by customer’s requirement).
3. Customerization and personalization: Print a custmized picture on the cover of notebooks or table calendars or T-shirts or a handbag. No problem.
4. Diversification: Keep varies pistures and design in computer, then print them out according to the feedback of market. No need to make film plates, no need to print a big quantity at one time. It means keep pace of manufacturing with sales at the same time.
5.   High print speed and UV inks dried as soon as they on printing. It means the delivery time will be greatly shorted. Even customers can wait aside of the printer when it is on working.

All these above cannot be done by normal inkjet printers, but UV flatbed printer works.
