UV Printers
UV printers: what they are and what they are used for
UV printers are digital printing systems that allow direct printing on a wide range of rigid materials using special inks that cure instantly with ultraviolet light. This UV LED printing system makes it possible to obtain high-definition images on surfaces such as glass, wood, metal, acrylic, PVC, ceramic, leather, etc., without the need for intermediate transfer processes.Thanks to this technology, UV printers are commonly used for the customisation of objects, promotional items, signage, decoration or corporate products, as they allow full-colour designs to be printed with high precision and durability.InkOne UV printers incorporate technologies designed to facilitate professional work, stable production and high-quality results. In addition, InkOne offers a complete ecosystem of hardware, consumables and technical support.Advantages of InkOne UV printers

- Having a complete UV printing system ready for production from day one
InkOne VM5
Intelligent scanner with automatic object detection
The InkOne VM5 is a 30 × 40 cm UV flatbed printer designed for direct printing on objects of up to 14 cm in height. It incorporates an intelligent scanner that automatically detects the position of products on the tray and places the print accurately, without templates or manual adjustments.
It uses UV inks in a CMYK + white + varnish configuration, allowing printing on dark materials and creating textured effects or premium finishes. This combination of automation, versatility and quality makes it an ideal solution for professional customisation.
InkOne VM4
Dual Epson XP600 printheads: high speed and precision
The InkOne VM4 is a 30 × 40 cm UV flatbed printer designed for direct printing on a wide variety of materials such as glass, wood, metal, acrylic, PVC and many more.
It incorporates dual Epson XP600 printheads that allow white and colour to be printed simultaneously, achieving high speed, excellent definition and intense colours.
Its infrared height measurement system automatically adapts to objects of up to 13 cm, while the vacuum platform keeps the material stable during printing. In addition, the white ink recirculation and automatic cleaning system helps maintain stable operation in professional production environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
A UV printer is a digital printing machine that uses special inks that cure instantly under ultraviolet light, allowing direct printing on a wide variety of surfaces without the need for intermediate transfer processes.
In the professional customisation sector, UV printers are used to create promotional items, personalised gifts, signage, decorative elements and corporate products. With this technology it is possible to print on materials such as glass, acrylic, wood, metal, PVC, plastic, ceramic, leather and many more, making it easier to develop a very wide range of products.
UV printers with an intelligent scanner incorporate systems that automatically detect the position of objects placed on the printing tray. This allows the software to adjust the image without the need for templates or manual alignment. The result is greater precision, faster job preparation and fewer errors when producing multiple pieces at the same time.
Although UV printing is an advanced technology, modern machines are designed to simplify their use in professional environments. InkOne UV printers include print management software and automated systems that streamline the workflow. With basic training it is possible to start production quickly, especially for customisation businesses already working with digital printing.
Yes. InkOne UV printers use ink configurations that include CMYK colour, white ink and varnish. White ink acts as a base layer on dark or transparent materials, allowing colours to maintain their intensity and accuracy. This system significantly expands customisation possibilities and allows working with products that other technologies cannot handle.
UV printers require periodic maintenance to ensure stable printing and extend the lifespan of the printheads. InkOne machines incorporate features such as automatic cleaning and white ink recirculation to prevent clogging and keep the ink in optimal condition. In addition, using recommended compatible consumables helps maintain system performance.
UV inks, varnishes and consumables are part of the printing system and are designed to work together with the machine. Using compatible consumables, such as those developed for InkOne UV printers, helps maintain colour stability, adhesion on materials and proper printhead operation. This reduces technical issues and improves production consistency.
