YC2500HR large format printer was built in 2019 in China by Linyi
Win-Win Machinery Co., Ltd. With the latest sixth-generation RICOH
printheads, the machine allows for efficient UV printing on virtually
any material on the market. UV inks, compared to standard pigments,
form a durable layer on the surface of the substrate that is resistant
to various external factors, so the print can, for example, be exposed
to intense sunlight.
The printing process is executed after choiceing the appropriate
profile (preset) for the material in the software. The industrial wide
format printer has pre-programmed profiles for materials such as
glass, paper, plastics, etc. After this, the machine automatically
overlaps the material, measures it and lowers the heads to the
material thickness. The carriage with the heads moves on a magnetic
rail (so-called ‘maglev’) and a magnetic cushion. This type of
drive is much faster and more resistant to damage than a standard
mechanical one. In addition, a special anti-collision system
eliminates the possibility of the head colliding with the material,
making the process extremely reliable.
Until now, the YC 2500 HR UV printer has run on original inks supplied
by the manufacturer. Nevertheless, UV printing can be performed on
inks from virtually any manufacturer or distributor, which are
designed for printers with 6th generation RICOH printheads. Extensive
equipment includes among others RIP software and components of
renowned brands, i.e. PANASONIC and SCHNEIDER.
