What do you guys think about this machine?

What about reliability and potential problems?

The machine will be mainly used to print some creative stickers and maybe some banners and wallpapers.

Many Thanks

Personally I wouldn't buy a printer that small - is space a concern in your shop?

We have a UCJV300-160 and have had good luck with it. We're set up with CMYKLcLmWW and the white has been good and solid.

Banners print well as long as you raise heads. Wall wraps etc are a great use for it as well.

Ink consumption and cost is high, but all in all it's been a pretty good entry-level UV-LED printer.

The big issue with these printers is ink expiration when used in a small volume shop. So I would recommend against Lc, Lm. White and Varnish can be very useful, but you are best off if you can print some white each week. We have a UCJV330. Really like the print quality and speed. We have had no issues with it. My 2 cents

This is true. We've dumped more LcLm and White ink than I'd care to admit due to expiry dates.

Funny thing is, I think our printer is getting dementia in it's old age. It keeps forgetting to reject inks and does so completely randomly after the rejection date has come and gone.

You can also cheat a bit by pouring old ink into fresh bottle or just changing chip, but probably not something you want to get too carried away with.
