VersaOBJECT MO 240

Introducing Roland VersaOBJECT MO-240 Flatbed UV Printer


In the realm of printing, the UV flatbed printer emerges as a notable advancement. With its capacity to directly print on rigid surfaces using UV curing technology, it brings practical innovation to various sectors, including signage, advertising, promotional products, packaging, and interior design. This technology dispenses with traditional limitations, offering a straightforward and versatile solution to meet modern printing needs. Join us as we explore the practical role of the UV flatbed printer in reshaping possibilities in the printing landscape.

What is a UV Printer?

A UV printer is a specialized printing machine that employs ultraviolet (UV) curing technology to produce high-quality prints on various printing surfaces. Unlike traditional printers, UV printers use UV inks that are instantly cured by exposure to ultraviolet light, allowing for efficient printing on materials such as glass, metal, plastic, wood, and more. This technology enables vibrant and durable prints with sharp detail and excellent colour reproduction. UV printers are known for their versatility, making them suitable for applications ranging from signage and promotional items to packaging and personalized products. The instant curing process also allows for printing on both rigid and flexible substrates, expanding the range of materials that can be used for various printing projects.

Difference Between Flatbed Printers and Other Types of Printers

The primary distinction between a flatbed printer and other types lies in their respective printing methods. While traditional printers, such as inkjet and laser printers, apply ink or toner directly onto paper as it moves through the machine, a flatbed printer employs a different approach. Flatbed printers have a stationary bed onto which the printing substrate, whether it’s paper, wood, metal, or other materials, is placed. The printhead then moves horizontally and vertically, applying ink directly to the stationary material. This stationary setup enables flatbed printers to accommodate thicker or rigid substrates, expanding the range of materials that can be printed. In contrast, traditional printers are generally limited to thinner, flexible media. This fundamental difference in printing methodology makes flatbed printers particularly suitable for applications requiring direct printing on diverse and unconventional surfaces.
