Your Gateway to Industrial-Scale, High-Profit Printing

For print business owners and manufacturers worldwide—from Chicago to Chennai, from London to Lagos:

You have reached a ceiling. Your current printers are too small. You are turning down large-format jobs. You are outsourcing big orders and watching someone else take your profit.

It is time to break through.

Introducing the 3220 UV Flatbed Printer—a true industrial machine with a massive 3.2m x 2.0m (approximately 10.5 ft x 6.6 ft) print bed that transforms how you handle large-scale, high-value printing .

Why 3220? The “Big Format” Advantage

The “3220” in the name tells you everything: 3.2 meters wide by 2.0 meters deep. This is not a desktop toy. This is a production workhorse designed for businesses ready to dominate the large-format printing market.

What You Can Print (That You Couldn’t Before)

Category Specific Products Profit Potential
Advertising & Signage Billboards, POP displays, exhibition stands, backlit film High volume, repeat orders
Home & Office Decor Custom furniture panels, glass partitions, wall art, kitchen splashbacks Premium pricing
Industrial Applications Acrylic panels, aluminum composite sheets, metal nameplates, circuit boards B2B contracts
Retail & Promotional POS displays, acrylic stands, personalized gifts, phone cases Fast turnaround, high margin
Architectural Elements Ceramic tiles, decorative glass, wooden panels, stone veneers Project-based, large ticket sizes

The only limit is the size of your bed .

The Technology That Sets the 3220 Apart

1. UV LED Curing: Print, Cure, Ship—Instantly

Traditional printing requires drying time—hours or even days. The 3220’s UV LED lamps cure ink instantly upon contact . The result:

· Zero smudging—pick it up immediately
· No waiting—stack finished products right away
· Lower energy costs—LED uses fraction of traditional mercury lamps
· Environmentally friendly—no VOCs, no solvents

2. Vacuum Bed That Holds Anything

The independent four-zone vacuum adsorption platform uses powerful suction to hold materials flat and secure . Even warped or uneven substrates stay perfectly in place during printing.

· Supports materials up to 100mm (4 inches) thick
· Handles weights up to 80-100 kg
· Optional height extension up to 200mm for oversized items

3. Industrial Printhead Options

Different business needs. Different printhead choices:

Printhead Best For Key Advantage
Ricoh Gen5 All-around performance Reliable, widely available parts
Ricoh Gen6 Highest speed production 20% faster than Gen5, finer droplets
Konica 1024i Extreme durability High-volume industrial use
Kyocera Ultra-high precision 3.5pl droplet size, incredible detail

4. White Ink Circulation System

White ink is notorious for clogging. The 3220 solves this with an automatic white ink recirculation system that continuously stirs the ink . No settling. No clogs. No ruined mornings.

5. CMYK + White + Varnish

Print in full color, add a white underbase for dark or transparent materials, and finish with a glossy or matte varnish. The result? Prints that look and feel three-dimensional and premium .

Real-World Success: The Vanguard VK3220T-HS Story

When Stibo Complete—one of northern Europe’s largest graphic companies with 500 employees across five factories—needed to scale, they chose the Vanguard VK3220T-HS (a premium 3220-class printer) .

The results speak for themselves:

“I have tested different brands in the flatbed market, and the Vanguard VK3220T-HS came out strong in all tests—quality, productivity, and drying characteristics at high output. With between 45% and 70% higher output than today, it gives us the opportunity to significantly increase sales of flatbed products and reduce the use of external suppliers.”
— Henrik Mølgaard, Production Manager, Stibo Complete

This is not marketing hype. This is a real business achieving real growth with 3220-class technology.

The Business Case: Why the 3220 Pays for Itself

Stop Outsourcing, Keep the Profit

If you currently outsource large-format printing, you are likely paying 2-3x your cost of production. A 3220 brings those jobs in-house.

Example: Acrylic signage panels

· Outsourced cost: $85 per panel
· Your cost with 3220: $22 (material + ink + amortization)
· Your profit per panel: $63

At 20 panels per day: $1,260 daily profit

Expand Your Service Offerings

With a 3220, you stop being “just a print shop.” You become:

· A signage manufacturer
· A custom furniture decorator
· An industrial parts printer
· A promotional products supplier

Each new category means new customers and higher margins.

Print on Demand, Zero Inventory

No more guessing what will sell. Print exactly what your customer orders, exactly when they order it. The 3220’s speed means even large orders ship fast.
