Frequently Asked Questions
The InkOne VM5 features an intelligent scanning system that automatically analyses the working area before printing. The scanner detects the exact position of the objects placed on the tray and the software automatically adjusts the artwork, aligning it precisely without the need for templates or manual positioning.Compared to traditional manual alignment, this system reduces positioning errors, shortens job preparation times and improves consistency in repetitive or multi-piece production, increasing efficiency in professional production environments.
Because it can print directly onto rigid materials and objects such as acrylic, wood, glass, metal and PVC, this UV flatbed printer InkOne VM5 can be used to produce signage, custom décor, corporate gifts, packaging and durable industrial parts.It is ideal for customised work, short production runs and high-value products requiring professional and long-lasting finishes.
UV varnish is a transparent layer that protects the print against scratches, moisture and wear. It also enhances the appearance by creating gloss or matte finishes and selective effects that highlight logos or details. In addition, it can be applied in relief to generate texture and deliver a more premium and eye-catching finish.
The InkOne VM5 printer is aimed at customisation workshops, merchandising companies, promotional gift manufacturers and businesses looking to expand their catalogue of products printed directly onto objects. Its combination of automation, printing height and varnish finishing makes it suitable for both personalised production and short-to-medium runs with consistent professional quality.
Yes. The InkOne VM5 is designed for real production environments, incorporating an Epson i3200 HD printhead, vacuum platform and automatic cleaning and maintenance systems.
