The 3220 UV Printer – Your Industrial-Scale Money Machine

The Global Challenge: “We Need Industrial Scale – Not Industrial Headaches”

You’ve built a successful printing business. You have customers. You have demand. But every week, you face the same frustrating conversation:

· “Can you print a 4′ x 8′ acrylic panel for our lobby?” – Maybe, but you’re piecing it together.
· “We need 100 aluminum composite sheets for a building facade.” – You outsource it and lose 60% margin.
· “What about a full 10-foot wooden door with custom graphics?” – Impossible.

The problem isn’t your skill. It’s your print size.

Enter the 3220 UV Printer. 3.2 meters wide (126 inches) by 2.0 meters deep (78 inches). That’s a massive 6.4 square meters of single-pass printing area. Industrial scale. Flatbed precision. UV speed.

This is the machine for serious producers: large-format sign shops, industrial manufacturers, architectural décor specialists, and global exporters who need to print big, print fast, and print profitably.

What Exactly is a 3220 UV Printer?

Let’s decode the name. 3220 means:

Dimension Measurement In Inches Comparison
Width (X-axis) 3200mm / 3.2m 126 inches A standard 4’x8′ sheet fits with room to spare
Depth (Y-axis) 2000mm / 2.0m 78 inches Two full 4′ sheets side by side
Print area 6.4 square meters ~69 square feet Nearly the size of a standard room

What fits on a 3220:

Product Quantity Per Batch
4′ x 8′ acrylic sheets 1 full sheet (plus border)
Large format signage Billboard-sized panels
Glass doors & windows 3–4 standard door panels
Wooden doors 1–2 full-sized doors
Aluminum composite panels 1–2 full sheets
Corrugated plastic signs 4+ sheets
Exhibition display panels Multiple configurations
Furniture components Table tops, cabinet fronts, countertops
Stone & marble slabs Large format tiles

This is not a “desktop” printer. This is a production platform for high-volume, large-format industrial printing.

Why Global Manufacturers & Large Sign Shops Choose the 3220

  1. True Industrial Scale (No More Tiling)

Before the 3220, printing a 4′ x 8′ (1220mm x 2440mm) sheet required:

· Tiling multiple smaller prints (alignment issues, waste)
· Outsourcing (losing margin, losing control)
· Saying “no” to large jobs altogether

The 3220 solves this completely. At 3.2m wide, it exceeds the standard 4′ width. At 2.0m deep, it handles the full 8′ length with room to spare. You print exactly what you need, exactly how you want it, in a single pass.

  1. Industrial Printheads (Speed Meets Quality)

The 3220 uses the most advanced printheads on the market:

Printhead Option Features Best For
Ricoh Gen5 7–21 picoliters, 600 DPI, 4–6 colors High quality, medium speed
Ricoh Gen6 5–15 picoliters, 1200 DPI, faster firing Maximum quality, faster production
Konica Minolta 1024i 6–42 picoliters, durable, high ink volume Industrial durability, heavy ink laydown

Typical performance:

· Full 3220 bed (3.2m x 2.0m): 5–12 minutes depending on quality mode
· Daily production capacity: 50–150 full sheets (300–900 square meters)
· Resolution: Up to 1440 x 1440 DPI

  1. CMYK + White + Varnish = Premium Industrial Output

The 3220 can be configured with up to 8 color channels:

Color Channel What It Enables
CMYK Full-color photographs, gradients, brand colors
White ink Print on clear acrylic, dark glass, black metal, colored substrates
Light cyan / light magenta Smoother gradients, skin tones, photographic quality
Gloss varnish Raised 3D effects, embossed logos, braille, textured finishes
Primer Adhesion to difficult substrates without pre-treatment

Premium applications unlocked:

· Backlit acrylic signs with white underbase (for even illumination)
· Clear glass panels with white + CMYK (elegant retail displays)
· Raised tactile signage (braille, wayfinding, luxury packaging)
· Direct-to-substrate industrial labels (no adhesive needed)

  1. Heavy-Duty Vacuum Table with Zones

The 3220 features a segmented vacuum table with 6–8 independent zones.

· Hold large sheets flat: No warping, no head strikes, no misalignment.
· Print small items efficiently: Turn off unused zones to maintain suction on coasters, tiles, or phone cases.
· No tape, no jigs: The vacuum does the holding for you.

  1. Adjustable Z-Axis (Up to 200mm+)

Standard Z-axis height is 100mm (4 inches). Optional upgrades reach 200mm+ (8+ inches).

What this means:

· Print on thick materials: wooden doors, foam boards, acrylic blocks, electronic enclosures
· Print on assembled products: suitcase shells, guitar bodies, furniture components
· Print on uneven surfaces with appropriate head height adjustment

  1. Optional Roll-to-Roll Kit (Hybrid Capability)

Add the roll-to-roll attachment and your 3220 becomes a hybrid machine:

· Flatbed mode: Rigid sheets (wood, glass, metal, acrylic, stone)
· Roll mode: Flexible materials (vinyl banners, mesh, fabric, window film)

One machine. Two production lines. Unmatched versatility.

Who Is Buying the 3220? (Your Global Target Market)

Large-Format Sign Shops
You’re already printing signs. But you’re outsourcing the big ones—4’x8′ acrylic, aluminum composite, foam board. Bring those jobs in-house. Cut lead times. Double your margins.

Applications:

· Building lobby signs (backlit acrylic)
· Retail storefront graphics
· Trade show exhibition displays
· Real estate development signage
· Construction site hoarding panels

Architectural & Interior Décor Specialists
Hotels, restaurants, offices, and luxury residences want custom printed surfaces. The 3220 turns architectural materials into branded, artistic, or wayfinding elements.

Applications:

· Printed glass partitions and doors
· Custom wood paneling (hotel guest rooms, corporate lobbies)
· Decorative ceramic tiles (bathrooms, kitchens, feature walls)
· Printed stone and marble slabs
· Furniture components (table tops, cabinet fronts)

Industrial Manufacturers
Control panels. Nameplates. Serial number labels. Component markings. OEM branding. The 3220 prints directly onto manufactured parts, eliminating adhesive labels and outsourcing delays.

Applications:

· Metal nameplates and rating plates
· Control panel overlays
· Electronic enclosure branding
· Automotive trim and interior components
· Aerospace and marine part labeling

Point-of-Purchase (POP) Display Producers
Retail brands demand large-format displays that grab attention. The 3220 prints directly on corrugated plastic, foam board, acrylic, and metal composite.

Applications:

· Freestanding retail displays
· Shelf talkers and aisle signs

· Floor graphics (with appropriate inks)

Construction & Building Material Suppliers
Print directly on construction materials before installation. Add branding, safety warnings, or decorative elements.

Applications:

· Printed OSB and plywood (temporary site signage)
· Safety signage on corrugated plastic
· Branded scaffolding panels

Furniture Manufacturers
Custom printed furniture is a growing luxury market. The 3220 prints directly on tabletops, cabinet doors, bed frames, and decorative panels.

Applications:

· Custom coffee tables with photo tops
· Branded office furniture
· Children’s furniture with character graphics
· Kitchen cabinet fronts with decorative patterns

Case Study: From Local Sign Shop to National Supplier

“We were turning down 4’x8′ acrylic jobs because outsourcing killed our margins. We bought a 3220 specifically for large-format rigid printing. Within six months, we had won contracts with two regional retail chains for lobby signage. Then a hotel group hired us for printed glass partitions. Then a furniture manufacturer started sending us table tops. The machine opened doors we didn’t even know existed. It paid for itself in under four months.”
— David R., “Premier Sign Solutions”

Common Objections (And Why They’re Wrong)

“A 3220 is too big for my workshop.”
Yes, it requires space. But compare the footprint to the revenue it generates. At 4.6m x 2.8m (plus operator space), it fits in a standard garage or small warehouse. Many owners start in rented industrial units of 50–100 square meters.

“I don’t have 3-phase power.”
Many 3220 models run on standard single-phase 220V (with appropriate amperage). Check specifications before buying. Converters are also available.

“I’m worried about maintenance.”
Industrial machines are designed for reliability. Daily maintenance takes 10–15 minutes. Weekly maintenance takes 30 minutes. Most suppliers offer remote diagnostics and on-site service contracts.

“Can I really compete with large factories?”
You compete on speed, flexibility, and customer service. A factory has minimum orders and long lead times. You offer same-day or next-day turnaround on custom jobs. That’s a premium service that commands premium prices.
