Technical Specifications to Look For (Before You Buy)
Not all 1612 printers are equal. For global success, ensure your machine has:
Feature Why It Matters
Industrial printheads (Ricoh Gen5, Ricoh Gen6, Epson I3200, Kyocera) Precision, speed, durability, and global parts availability
Automatic white ink circulation White pigment settles and clogs. Circulation is non-negotiable for reliability.
Vacuum flatbed table with zones Holds warped or thin materials flat. Zones let you print on smaller pieces without losing suction.
LED UV lamps (cool cure) Lower heat = print on heat-sensitive materials. Longer lamp life (1,000–2,000 hours). No warm-up time.
Belt-driven roll-to-roll option Adds ability to print on flexible media (banners, mesh, fabric) without extra equipment.
CMYK + White + Varnish (minimum 4–6 heads) White ink for dark/clear materials. Varnish for premium effects and protection.
Anti-collision system Protects expensive printheads if you load an uneven object.
User-replaceable printheads When heads eventually wear out (1–2 years), you replace them yourself – no expensive technician visit.
Global voltage & certifications 110–240V auto-switching. CE, FCC, RoHS certifications for international shipping.
