A new range of UV digital printers has been introduced to the UK market by Kaye-Dee at Sign & Digital UK 2013. 

Developed with industrial applications in mind the BE330 flatbed and high speed BE-TS/HS-1 printers deliver outstanding print quality and reliability.

The BE300-LED-series has a compact 420×300 mm print area and a product loading height up to 300 mm with ionisation for reduced static and extra sensors for improved operation. Mounted on an industrial base it has further strengthening to provide improved rigidity for production applications.

Typical applications are metal, ceramics, glass or plastic.  With recent advances in UV curing inks digital printers can now print a white base colour first, to further strengthen bright colours printed onto darker substrates, and print resolution of up to 1400 x 1200 dpi is possible.

The BE-TS-1 is a tray/pallet system where the BE-HS-1 uses a conveyor to move the components under the print head. Both types of printer are custom made to meet the specific need of each application and can be designed as one, two, three or full four colour options with a white undercoat if required. Alternatively the machine can be configured to suit your own production requirements and can be built with an inline pre-treatment of your choice. Prices start from £25,500 and tt is also possible to offer a vision inspection system with a reject unloading station if required and can be integrated in production lines. Changeover of the print image by remote computers avoids the need for operators to be involved when the image changes.
