UV Crystalization and Gilding Printer with Four i1600 Print Heads

UV Crystalization and Gilding Printer with Four i1600 Print Heads

Descrition

UV Crystallization & Gilding Printer with four i1600 print heads. I made conservative,

realistic statements and flagged where performance depends on setup (media, RIP, resolution) so you can reuse or adapt it for a website, datasheet, sales pitch, or RFP.

3-line elevator pitch

High-speed, industrial UV printer engineered for premium decoration:

combine high-resolution CMYK + white printing with 3D UV “crystal” varnish and precision gilding in a single pass,

powered by four i1600 print heads for consistent, detailed results on rigid and flexible substrates.

Key features

• Four i1600 print heads — high-density piezoelectric heads for stable droplet placement and fine detail across wide format prints.

• Integrated UV crystallization (3D varnish) — fully digital, variable-height glossy/raised varnish (selective spot, flood, or micro-pattern) that cures instantly under UV LEDs to create tactile “crystal” effects.

• Digital gilding module — prints metallic/gold/silver simulations using specialized metallic inks or lays down adhesive primer for post-process real-leaf gilding; supports true tone metallic ink laydown for photorealistic metallic highlights.

• Multi-layer printing — simultaneous CMYK + white + varnish + metallic passes in a single job (depending on configuration) to reduce handling and registration errors.

• LED UV curing — low-heat, energy-efficient UV LEDs for immediate cure, reduced substrate stress, and long print-head life.

• Vacuum table & rigid media support — keeps boards, acrylic, wood, glass and other rigid substrates flat and immobile for high-accuracy printing.

• Closed-loop head alignment & drop-watching — automated maintenance routines, head alignment, and redundancy management to maximize uptime.

• Standard connectivity & RIP support — Ethernet, USB; compatible with major RIPs (support for variable varnish channels, metallic ink profiles, and ICC workflows).

• User-friendly control panel & job library — store presets for common materials and finishes, including recommended curing and varnish thickness profiles.

Typical applications

• Premium packaging prototypes and short runs (luxury boxes, cosmetics packaging mockups)

• Signage, POS (point-of-sale) with tactile accents

• Interior décor panels and backlit displays with metallic highlights

• Photo/Art reproduction with raised varnish highlights

• Giftware, nameplates, awards and personalized products

Supported substrates

• Rigid: acrylic (PMMA), glass (with primer), MDF / wood, aluminum composite panels, PVC, foamboard, ceramic tiles (pre-treated), pre-coated metals.

• Flexible: coated papers, vinyl, polyester films (PET), adhesive laminates.

• Note: substrate must be compatible with UV-curable inks and fit under the gantry.

Ink & consumables

• UV-curable CMYK + White (pigmented UV inks)

• UV Varnish / UV Gel for 3D crystallization (variable viscosity for dot-building)

• Metallic/Gold/Silver inks or adhesive + transfer leaf workflow for true gilding

• Primers & adhesion promoters for non-porous substrates (e.g., glass, some plastics)

• Replaceable ink cartridges (sizes configurable for production)
