Small-Format Flatbed UV Printers
UV printing has been around for about a decade, but the cost and size of the equipment has been prohibitive. Utilizing a low-watt LED UV light and specialized proprietary UV LED inks, DCS has made a breakthrough to bring this technology to a line of economical, small-format flatbed printers.
Direct Jet UV printers have solved print durability issues related to abrasion and solvents, while also delivering more effective, opaque white ink performance for higher-quality printing on dark materials. Our UV printers are designed for commercial and industrial products that will be viewed at an arm's length, delivering crisp text and sharp, detailed images in vibrant color – no matter what substrate you're printing on.
Our latest UV advancement, the Direct Jet 1024UVHS, is a high-speed model that utilizes inline printing and produces breakthrough 3D textured prints.
Substrates
Direct Jet prints directly onto surfaces including, but not limited to: wood, metals, ceramic tiles, plastics, glass and plastic. Our UV LED inks are very flexible and won't crack or flake off, even in very flexible vinyl applications.
