Which uv flatbed printer nozzle is best?

The selection of print heads is crucial for the overall performance of a UV flatbed printer, as they are considered the "heart" of the machine. With numerous print head brands available in the market, such as Epson and Ricoh, it becomes a primary task for many customers to choose the most suitable one. Let's delve into the world of print heads with SONGPUL engineers to understand how to make the right choice.

First, let's compare major print head brands based on three key indicators: printing speed, accuracy, and print head lifespan.

1.Epson print heads are renowned for their high precision, with small nozzle sizes reaching 3PL and an accuracy of up to 1440 DPI, allowing for fine and clear print results. However, their printing speed is relatively slower, at around 6 square meters per hour. Additionally, the lifespan of Epson print heads is approximately one year.

2.Ricoh print heads have been applied in UV flatbed printers since 2013. Their nozzle sizes range from 7 to 35PL, with an accuracy of 720 DPI. Although the accuracy is slightly lower than Epson, the printing speed is significantly improved, ranging from 8 to 20 square meters per hour. Moreover, Ricoh print heads have a relatively longer lifespan of 1 to 2 years, showcasing their cost-effectiveness.

3.Kyocera print heads have a presence in the market, but they have relatively slower printing speeds of 4 to 10 square meters per hour and are prone to inkjetting issues. Additionally, their print head lifespan is shorter, at around one year.

Considering the above data, Ricoh print heads demonstrate a certain advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness. However, the choice of print head for a UV flatbed printer should still be based on specific requirements. For example, the advertising industry, which demands high precision, may be more suitable for UV flatbed printers with Epson print heads.

SONGPUL's UV flatbed printers are equipped with industrial-grade Ricoh G5 print heads. These print heads utilize variable drop printing technology, offering high precision, fast speed, and excellent performance. They achieve a printing accuracy of up to 7PL, ensuring both high image quality and production efficiency, while also enhancing ink compatibility. Additionally, the firing frequency of large ink droplets is doubled, fully meeting the requirements for high-speed production.

Apart from the choice of print heads, the overall performance of the product is also an important factor to consider during the purchasing process. A high-precision flatbed printer relies on skilled operators and comprehensive system training from the manufacturer. Therefore, when selecting a UV flatbed printer, attention should be given not only to the performance and quality of the print heads but also to the professionalism of the operators and the completeness of the training services provided by the manufacturer.
