The 4’x8′ Workhorse – Why the 2513 UV Flatbed Printer Is the Global Standard for Industrial Printing
Subtitle: 2.5m x 1.3m of rigid-material printing power. Print full 4’x8′ sheets – acrylic, aluminum, wood, glass – in one piece. No tiling. No outsourcing. No limits.
The Industrial Flatbed Sweet Spot
You need to print full 4’x8′ sheets. But every option has a problem:
· Smaller flatbeds (9060/1612) – Can’t fit 4’x8′ sheets (requires tiling with visible seams)
· Larger flatbeds (3220) – Requires a warehouse and a $60k+ budget
· Outsourcing – Kills your margins, slow turnaround, zero quality control
The 2513 is the perfect answer.
At 2500mm x 1300mm (98″ x 51″), the 2513 handles the industry-standard 4’x8′ sheet (1220x2440mm) with room to spare. It fits in a large workshop. It delivers industrial throughput. And it costs a fraction of larger machines.
This is why the 2513 is the best-selling industrial flatbed UV printer worldwide.
