The company we used had a fully automated line. They would hang each piece on a metal hanger & it would get heated, than coated & hit with UV Lights.
The Company is called DVUV, they do tons of MDF. Alot of Desk tops & fixtures. They have a video on there website of the process.
We did a good amount of UV printing on MDF, you have to paint / seal the board first to get a good finish. We alway painted it white for the best coloring. Powder coating works as well, was alittle cheaper for large batch runs. When UV printing on any type of wood you need to paint or seal it...

Haha a lot of users here trying to answer a question there not equipped to answer. Ill get you ink usage tomorrow, When I'm at my warehouse.
Onyx gives you a great ink estimate for all jobs & most profiles are very similar in ink usage if you run them in the same mode. Colorado are one of the...
Gigapixel AI is awesome, Had a few low quality images from a customer. Didn't want to do the run around, customer was already challenging to work with.
Best $100 ive spent for sure.
I’m a big one against China no name machines, they are junk and so many end up on EBay or marketplace. Had my fair share and regret each one, we only stick with the name brands now. You’re lucky to sell them for half price. Summa is by far my favorite for a budget friendly machine, if you can’t...
"So maybe letting it sit does matter. I have another print we did a few weeks ago that I just tested and the transfer tape did not pull the ink off."
UV ink will only cure when being hit by Direct UV light. Once your print is off your printer its done curing, you can adjust your UV curing on...
What are you trying to print on ???
Grimco sells a promoter AP3155, only had to use it twice and worked well. Some plastics will require an anti static promoter. Static issues can be a pain, we had some trouble with Coro in the past.
It depends on the printer & what type of print heads. We had this issue on our flatbed before & it was a simple adjustments. Most printers have a calibration print that will help you adjust this - We had to adjust a few numbers settings in our admin menu, took 2 hours to fully figure out but we...
If you have the Budget check out a Canon Colorado. Its a UV gel printer & its been amazing for us. Crazy fast & the colors are great, perfect for Banners and wallcoverings. The nice thing about UV is you can take it right from the printer & start working, no curing times or waiting to laminate...
Call into Onyx, not sure what plan you have it but it can be as simple as antivirus or a bad file. We had a few issues and one was our antivirus blocking one of the files from starting. Other time it was printer errors that locked up Onyx. They fixed both issues quickly and both occurred...
I would drop the idea of UV printing at home - lots of the ink are toxic to say the least and can make a ton of fumes. One or two prints might be fine but when you get large orders you’ll have issues.
We bought a UV printer with a Boha filter and the smell was horrible had tons of other people...
After talking to several rep I have figured it out. The companies in question are running these stickers on digital roll presses - Like the ones for labels & They are using Lasers to cutout the stickers at high speeds.
Had a demo done & the stickers could be printed and laminate & cut extremely...
We had good success with our Fluidcolor, the model we bought was well priced for a 4x8.
Flatbeds are great but make sure you do a lot of testing before you buy.
Like firesprint said Xacto knifes gonna be best. Get the high strength blades they tend to last longer in Coro. Would be worth farming out if you want to offer it consistently. We tried doing it by hand but after a few jobs we had to spend the money for a flatbed cutter, took too long.
