Title: The 4’x8′ King – Why the 2513 UV Printer Is the World’s Most Popular Industrial Flatbed
Subtitle: 2.5 meters x 1.3 meters 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 want to print full 4’x8′ sheets. But:
· Smaller flatbeds (9060/1612) – Can’t fit 4’x8′ sheets (need tiling)
· Larger flatbeds (3220) – Need a warehouse and a $60k+ budget
· Outsourcing – Kills margins, slow turnaround, no 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 or small industrial unit. And it delivers industrial throughput at a fraction of the cost of larger machines.
It is the best-selling industrial flatbed UV printer size worldwide for good reason.
