Professional Phone Case Printer with Eco-Friendly Customization Features

Headline: 3220 UV Printer: The 3.2m x 2.0m Industrial Flatbed That Prints Directly on Doors, Glass Panels, Acrylic Sheets & More

Subheadline: Production speeds up to 85 sqm/hour. Print thickness up to 200mm. The one machine that replaces an entire factory’s signage and decoration department.

Imagine a printer so large it can accommodate a full 4′ x 8′ plywood sheet with room to spare. So powerful it cures instantly with UV LED light. So versatile it prints on glass, wood, metal, acrylic, ceramic tile, PVC foam board, and even 3D relief textures.

That machine exists. It’s called the 3220 UV Flatbed Printer – and it’s the secret weapon of successful sign shops, furniture manufacturers, construction material suppliers, and industrial decorators across six continents.

Here’s why businesses from Shanghai to São Paulo are adding the 3220 to their production lines – and why you should too.

1. 3.2m x 2.0m – The Global Standard for Large-Format Production

The “3220” name tells you everything: 3200mm (126 inches) x 2000mm (79 inches) of flatbed printing area .

Printer Model Bed Size Typical Use Best For
9060 35″ x 24″ Small parts, gifts, prototypes Small business
1612 63″ x 47″ Doors, panels, furniture Mid-size shops
3220 126″ x 79″ Full sheets, industrial production High-volume manufacturers

Why this size matters globally:

· Full 4′ x 8′ plywood sheets – No cutting required. Print directly on standard construction materials.
· Multiple 24″ x 36″ signs – Print 12–16 signs in a single pass.
· Glass panels – Print entire shower doors, tabletops, and architectural glass.
· Acrylic sheets – Produce backlit displays, trade show booths, and point-of-purchase displays.
· Ceramic tiles – Print 50+ tiles in one batch.

One bed size. Unlimited production configurations. Every customer type served.

2. Industrial-Grade Speed – Up to 85 Square Meters Per Hour

Speed is money in the printing business. The 3220 delivers production rates that keep your workflow moving and your customers happy .

Print speeds by quality mode (with 6 Ricoh Gen5 heads):

Print Mode Speed (sqm/hour) Best For
Draft 85 m²/h Large banners, temporary signage
Production 65 m²/h Standard commercial work
Quality 44 m²/h Retail displays, indoor signage
High Quality 32 m²/h Fine art, gallery prints

With 9-head configurations: Speeds can reach up to 190 m²/h on select models .

Real-world production example:

· Full bed of 4′ x 8′ acrylic panels: 4–6 minutes
· 100 custom glass table tops: Under 3 hours
· 500 real estate signs: One afternoon

Your customers don’t wait. Your 3220 doesn’t make them.

3. Print on ANY Rigid Material – Up to 200mm Thick

This is where the 3220 has no equal among large-format printers. The adjustable flatbed accommodates materials up to 200mm (8 inches) thick on advanced models .

Complete substrate compatibility list:

Material Category Specific Examples Typical Applications Profit Margin
Wood Plywood, MDF, solid wood, bamboo, OSB Furniture, cabinets, doors, wall panels 200–400%
Glass Tempered, float, frosted, mirror Shower doors, tabletops, partitions, awards 300–600%
Acrylic / PMMA Clear, colored, frosted, mirrored Backlit signs, displays, trophies, art 250–500%
Metal Aluminum, stainless steel, brass, copper Nameplates, panels, tools, gifts 200–450%
Ceramic / Tile Glazed, unglazed, porcelain Floor tiles, backsplashes, murals, coasters 300–600%
PVC / Forex Rigid foam board, Sintra Real estate signs, construction site boards 150–300%
Stone Slate, marble, granite, quartz Memorial plaques, countertops, coasters 400–800%
Leather Genuine, synthetic, bonded Furniture panels, bags, belts, journals 200–350%
Composites Carbon fiber, fiberglass, Dibond Industrial parts, aerospace, automotive 300–500%

One machine. Unlimited product categories. Total manufacturing freedom.

4. UV LED Technology – Instant Cure, Lower Energy, No VOCs

Modern 3220 printers use UV LED curing systems – a massive upgrade over traditional mercury lamp UV printers .

Why UV LED is a game-changer:

Feature Traditional UV UV LED (3220)
Lamp life 500–1000 hours 20,000+ hours
Warm-up time 5–10 minutes Instant
Energy consumption High (8-12 kW) Low (4-7 kW)
Heat on substrate Significant Minimal
VOC emissions Yes Extremely low
Thick substrate printing Risk of scorching Safe
Maintenance frequency High Low

The LED advantage for your business:

· Lower electricity bills – Up to 40–50% less energy consumption
· No lamp replacement costs – A single LED lamp can last 20,000+ hours (that’s 2.5 years of 8-hour daily operation)
· Print on heat-sensitive materials – No warping, scorching, or melting
· Instant on/off – No wasted energy during idle periods
· Safer workplace – No mercury lamps, low ozone emission

5. Professional Printheads – Ricoh Gen5 / Gen6 / Kyocera

The 3220 is available with industrial-grade printheads that determine your print quality, speed, and reliability .

Printhead comparison:

Printhead Drop Size Resolution Best For
Ricoh Gen5 7–21pl variable Up to 1200 dpi Versatile, standard production
Ricoh Gen6 5–15pl variable Up to 1200 dpi Higher detail, faster speeds
Kyocera KJ4 3.5–21pl variable Up to 1200 dpi Highest precision, fine text

Configuration options:

· 2–4 heads: Entry-level, good for smaller shops
· 6 heads: Standard configuration – excellent speed/quality balance
· 8–9 heads: Maximum speed, dual CMYK, or white + varnish channels

White ink capabilities (with recirculation):

· Print opaque white on dark or transparent materials
· Layered white for backlit acrylic displays
· Underbase white for vibrant colors on dark substrates
· White ink recirculation system prevents pigment settling – the #1 cause of clogged nozzles

Varnish capabilities:

· Spot gloss for raised textures (premium business cards, signage)
· Full gloss for scratch protection (no lamination needed)
· Matte varnish for anti-glare finishes

6. Advanced Features That Justify the Investment

The 3220 isn’t just big – it’s smart. Here are the features that separate professional machines from consumer-grade alternatives .

Auto height detection: The printhead automatically measures substrate thickness and adjusts. No manual calibration. No head crashes. No wasted materials.

Independent zone vacuum system: The flatbed is divided into 4 independent vacuum zones. Print a small phone case or a full 4′ x 8′ sheet – the vacuum holds it perfectly flat either way.

Anti-crash system: If the printhead encounters an uneven surface or foreign object, it stops immediately. This single feature can save you thousands in printhead replacement costs.

Continue print system: If the machine stops mid-job (power flicker, ink out), it resumes exactly where it left off. No wasted prints.

Dual Y-axis ball screw drive: Provides precision movement with positioning error of less than ±0.3mm over the full 3.2m length .

White ink recirculation: Automatically circulates white ink to prevent pigment settling. Includes low-level alarm so you never run dry mid-job .

Drawer-style UV lamp cassette: When lamps eventually need replacement (every 20,000+ hours), the cassette slides out – no tools, no technician, no downtime.

3D / relief printing capability: Some models support multi-layer printing for raised textures – giving prints an engraved or embossed appearance without any mechanical engraving .

7. Ridiculous ROI – Paid Off in 3–9 Months

A professional 3220 UV flatbed printer costs $20,000–$50,000 depending on configuration (printhead count, brand, accessories) .

Sample profit calculation #1 – Large-format acrylic signage:

Cost Item Amount
Acrylic sheet 4′ x 8′ $45
UV ink (full coverage) $8
Labor + electricity $5
Total cost $58

Selling price (custom business signage): $250–$500
Profit per sheet: $192–$442

Breakeven on $30,000 machine:

· Low end: 156 sheets
· High end: 68 sheets

Time to breakeven (part-time): 3–6 months
Time to breakeven (full-time): 4–8 weeks

The Verdict: The 3220 Is a Factory-in-a-Box

With a 3220 UV flatbed printer, you aren’t buying a machine. You are buying the capacity to become a full-scale manufacturer – without the overhead of traditional fabrication.

Ask yourself:

· Can you imagine printing custom glass panels for a 200-room hotel?
· Can you imagine producing 500 real estate signs by tomorrow morning?
· Can you imagine opening a new revenue stream – printed furniture, tiles, doors, or displays?
· Can you imagine competing with factories twice your size because your turnaround is twice as fast?
