How to buy a uv printer?
This how to buy a uv printer instruction gives you a practice way to buy a uv printer. Just print CMYK solid colours at 4 passes with bi direction mode ! The simplest way is to print CMYK solid colours at 4 passes to check if there is pass banding. In fact, even Agfa UV Printers cannot avoid producing pass banding when printing CMYK Solid colours at 4 passes.
Why can most of UV printers not avoid pass banding?
Consider this example: printing black, when the printhead is moving left, it mixes the colours in the order of KCMY, but when the printhead moves right it will mix the colours in reverse order, YMCK. Due to the curing process of UV ink, KCMY and YMCK will cure slightly differently, and this systematic difference becomes noticeable with repeated banding. That is why it is common for UV printers to exhibit banding.
Lava uv printer eliminate the pass banding
The good news is Lava-3RH4896 UV flatbed printer uses advanced technology to eliminate the pass banding at solid colour printing. So this is very important info for how to buy a uv printer. We use feathering technology between two printing passes to eliminate pass banding.
Why print at 4 passes?
If the UV flatbed printer has good mechanical precision, then it can print at 4 passes without banding. This is a precision test that proves the quality of the printer. This is physic mechanical precision test for how to buy a uv printer.
Besides the above printing test, you also can follow how to buy a uv printer instructions to make sure you are not only buying a good UV flatbed printer but also that you bought a robust UV printer that can expect to last at least 3 years without any issues.
