The Truepress Jet1600UV-F is a welcome addition to the printing landscape not only because it enables vivid, full-color printing of signs and displays. Its advanced functionalities also provide significant benefits in the production of backlit graphics, wide-format posters, point-of-purchase displays, commercial furniture and construction signage.
This easy-to-use flatbed device is built around the latest technology for inkjet printing and ultraviolet (UV) curing. The inks are hard-dried using UV rays produced by dedicated light emitting diodes (LEDs). The UV-LED light source generates very low heat, enabling imaging of such heat-sensitive materials as foam and channel boards, PVC, acrylic and styrene panels without warping or distortions. The light source lasts longer and draws less electricity than conventional UV lamps.
A newly created imaging system featuring eight individual greyscale printing heads supports rapid printing. The Truepress Jet1600UV-F prints images up to 3100mm long by 1602mm wide. It is capable of printing 13m2 per hour on substrates up to 50mm thick.
Two types of UV ink, one for flexible media and the other for rigid media, give printers considerable choice. The reproduction is exceptionally sharp and the tints and gradations exceedingly smooth thanks to the maximum resolution of 1,200 dpi x 1,200 dpi, coupled with the piezo variable-drop printhead that emits up to seven dot sizes.
