Industrial printers for printing on cardboard

The Chinese manufacturer of industrial printers Flora presents new solutions in industrial printing. The SPT-1800 "Textra" and SPC-1800 devices enable extremely efficient and fast printing on various types of materials, including natural fiber, polyester or transfer paper. The printing speed achieved by the "Textra" model is as much as 80 m/min., while the Flora SPC-1800 can print up to 150 m/min.! In the past, large-format printers of this type were extremely expensive and could only be afforded by larger industrial manufacturing companies. However, the latest Flora model, Single Pass, meets the needs of medium and small entrepreneurs, locating itself in a completely different price range. We cordially invite you to familiarize yourself with the details of the offer of Flora industrial printers! In our assortment you will find both cardboard printers and flatbed printers for rigid materials and hybrid plotters.

Flora industrial printers for marking cartons

Cardboard packaging is used in every branch of industry. They are used to store and store various types of products, they also protect them from damage during transport. In order to easily identify the contents of cardboard packaging, it is necessary to mark them appropriately. The print can include text, bar code, date or logo - it is important that it is legible and durable. Packaging can be provided with self-adhesive labels, but printing directly on the cardboard turns out to be a more effective solution. It allows you to avoid waste from labels, and also positively affects the recycling of waste paper. Flora industrial plotters enable efficient marking of most of the cardboard materials available on the market. The resulting prints are not only durable, but also precise and aesthetic.

Large format industrial plotters

Large format printing, otherwise known as LFP (Large Format Printing), is understood as printing on a large format, usually inkjet, with a width of 1.3 m to 5 m. Depending on the technology used, industrial plotters can print on various types of substrates, such as textiles, self-adhesive foils, PVC tarpaulins or poster paper, but also on rigid materials, including plexiglass, PVC rigid foam boards, glass, wood or aluminum composite boards. The last three materials are processed in Flatbed printers. UV direct printing, used in flatbed, web and hybrid printers, allows printing on almost all materials (including wood/glass, etc.). UV LED printing technology is very popular and is represented by many devices in our offer.

UV printing in industrial printers

UV printing is a type of digital printing in which the image is transferred directly from the computer to a large format printer. The ink is applied to a given surface and irradiated with ultraviolet light (UV/UV LED lamps are built into the print carriage), thanks to which it cures immediately. As a result of this process, a layer of ink is formed on the printed material. The ink used in industrial UV printers does not contain any solvents, so it is environmentally friendly. The main difference from conventional (water-based) inkjet printing is that the ink does not penetrate completely into the material, but covers its surface where it is cured. This method allows printing on almost all materials.

Advantages of industrial printing using direct printing technology:
  • low costs (no need for further material processing, e.g. lamination),
  • short production time,
  • production of large series,
  • a wide range of available printing materials,
  • possibility of printing on materials with a porous structure,
  • very large maximum print height (approx. 10 cm on Flatbed printers)
  • white as cover/background or spot color,
  • possibility of using accessories, including 3D varnish.

The industrial printers in our offer provide huge possibilities in the field of modern printing methods. If you want to find a printer that will best meet your needs, contact us! We will be happy to help you find the perfect solution.

DTF Printers

DTF Printers

Prints on textiles made in DTF (Direct to Film) technology is a modern solution that is increasingly used as an alternative to the typical DTG (Direct to Garment) print. Using DTF printers it is possible to make an excellent quality print, which is also characterized by high durability. This method works especially well for small and medium-sized projects and can be used both for printing a small amount of materials and for large series. Printing in DTF technology is extremely effective - the process is very fast and its costs are low. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the details of our offer of DTF printers, as well as other textile printers. If necessary, we guarantee professional advice on the selection of the most optimal model.

DTF printing – a revolution in textile printing

In DTF technology, the inks do not mix with the fabric, because the graphics are prepared in advance as a printout on PET foil, which is then covered with a layer of powder glue. The foil with the primer is applied to the surface of the fabric and welded without losing the desired color. In this case, the effect achieved does not depend on the quality of the fabric, and the technology itself can be successfully used for both cotton and, for example, polyester. The efficiency of DTF printers results from the possibility of making several or even several graphics simultaneously. The resulting prints are extremely flexible, do not crumble and are above average resistant to washing. The DTF technology gives great opportunities for the production of multi-colored prints on fabrics of any type and color without loss of quality.

Choosing the right types of inks for plotters is key to print quality because incorrectly selected inks can result in a finished print with dull colors that will quickly fade when exposed to external factors. Check out our offer for solvent inks and top quality solvent inks.

That is why the selection of special inks, such as KAO Chimigraf Spicy for Gongzheng printers, KAO Chimigraf Eco for Mimaki printers or KAO Chimigraf UVICA for Oce printers, Handtop replacement, is a very important task from the perspective of the final effect.

Very good pigmentation of KAO Chimigraf inks allows for obtaining a print with strong and vivid colors that will immediately attract the customer's attention. The quality of the inks can also be assessed by how they behave when they are outside - they should not fade quickly or turn yellow under the influence of UV radiation, in order to present the print as long as possible.

Plotter users can use KAO Chimigraf inks at more attractive prices. Using substitutes does not mean changing the quality of prints - you can also choose those that give comparable or even better results, such as Spanish KAO Chimigraf inks.
