About this machine

Galaxy UD-25L6BKW UV Flatbed Printer

An industrial UV LED flatbed for rigid and flexible substrates, with a 2440 × 1220 mm print area. Boards are held by individually switchable vacuum zones and positioned by a pin registration system, and the carriage height can be raised up to 100 mm for thick boards and finished objects.

The mechanics are built for production: a belt-free linear motor, an X-axis linear guide, a ball screw and linear servo motors. An anti-static device is fitted.

The printer runs 2 – 6 Ricoh Gen6 heads in one of these colour configurations: W + CMYK / W + 2 × CMYK / CMYK / 2 × CMYK / 3 × CMYK. Resolution goes up to 1440 dpi, and output in draft mode (4 pass) is 50, 98 or 148 m²/h with 1, 2 or 3 colour channels. Files are prepared in FlexiPrint, calibration is software-based, and the printer connects by USB.

Applications

Rigid signage and display boards, acrylic and composite panels, POS and exhibition graphics, decoration on finished objects.

Frequently asked questions

How large can the boards be?

The print area is 2440 × 1220 mm. The carriage height can be raised up to 100 mm for thick boards and finished objects. It handles rigid and flexible substrates, for signage, display boards, acrylic and composite panels and POS graphics.

Which colour configuration should we choose?

The machine runs 2 – 6 Ricoh Gen6 heads in one of these configurations: W + CMYK / W + 2 × CMYK / CMYK / 2 × CMYK / 3 × CMYK. Output in draft mode (4 pass) is 50, 98 or 148 m²/h with 1, 2 or 3 colour channels. Tell us the square metres you print per shift and the share of white work, and we will recommend the configuration.

Which heads and colours does it use?

Ricoh Gen6 heads, 2 – 6 of them, with configurations from CMYK only up to W + 2 × CMYK. The Gen6 MH5320 head has 1,280 nozzles and a 54.1 mm print width, and resolution goes up to 1440 dpi. The ink is UV LED curable and cures instantly.

How are boards held and positioned?

Boards are held by individually switchable vacuum zones, so you switch on only the area the board covers, and positioned by a pin registration system. An anti-static device is fitted.

How is the machine built?

For production: a belt-free linear motor, an X-axis linear guide, a ball screw and linear servo motors drive the motion, and boards are registered on pins. Calibration is software-based. The machine measures 4,510 × 2,170 × 1,480 mm and weighs 950 kg.

Which software and file formats does it work with?

Files are prepared in FlexiPrint, and the printer connects to the computer by USB. It accepts TIFF, JPG, BMP, PLT, EPS and other formats. Send us a typical job file and we will check it through the workflow.

What does it need on site?

A 220 V supply for 5,500 W total installed power, a room kept between 20 and 30 °C, and floor space for a machine of 4,510 × 2,170 × 1,480 mm weighing 950 kg. Check the floor and the access route for that weight before delivery.
