UV Printer 1612Flatbed That Prints on Wood Acrylic & More Direct, Instant Profitable
The Problem You Face
You’re losing money and customers because:
· Laminates and vinyls cost time and materials – and they peel
· Outsourcing takes 2–3 weeks and kills your margins
· Screen printing requires setup fees and minimum orders
· Your current printer can’t handle thick or rigid materials
The UV Printer 1612 solves every problem.

Max thickness Up to 200mm (8″)

Curing UV LED (instant, zero VOCs)
It’s a factory on a flatbed.
Old way (slow, expensive, wasteful):
- Apply vinyl or laminate to material
- Trim edges (waste)
- Apply adhesive (fumes, time)
- Wait to dry
- Ship
1612 way (fast, profitable, clean):
- Place material on flatbed
- Hit print
- UV lamps cure instantly
- Ship
What you eliminate:
Cost/Step Annual Savings
Vinyl rolls ($50–200 each) $1,000–5,000
Laminates ($30–100 per roll) $500–3,000
Adhesives ($20–50 per bottle) $500–2,000
Trimming labor (2–5 min per piece) $5,000–20,000
Waste disposal $500–2,000
Total potential savings $7,500–32,000+ per year
The 1612 pays for itself in savings alone – before you sell a single print.
