Contact salesFrequently asked questions
Which printer is best for acrylic signs?
A 2.5 x 1.3 m flatbed such as the YC2513L, because it takes standard board and prints white underlay.
Can UV printers print on glass?
Yes, with the right adhesion promoter; glass and ceramic are common flatbed applications.
What about curved or cylindrical parts?
Standard flatbeds print flat sheets. Curved surfaces need a rotary attachment or a different machine type.
Can one machine print board and banner?
Yes, the roll-to-roll and hybrid models combine a vacuum table with a media feed.
Which model prints corrugated boxes?
The RS1800 and RS2500 print corrugated board directly with water-based ink.
