Our UV printers deliver high-quality printing on a wide range of substrates<\/strong>, accurately reproducing color graphics, logos, text and patterns directly on the part. With UV LED digital printing<\/strong> technology, the inks cure under ultraviolet light, ensuring instant drying and extensive customization possibilities.<\/p>\n

Thermoflan offers a range of professional flatbed UV printers<\/strong> designed for customization, signage and industrial marking. From small-format models to higher-capacity equipment, our machines can print on a variety of materials such as wood, glass, metal, plastics and leather, depending on their compatibility with the inks and the preparation processes used.<\/p>\n

Depending on the model, our UV LED printers offer a range of printing capabilities: four-color CMYK printing, white underbase, spot varnish and raised effects<\/strong>. Thermoflan helps you choose equipment suited to the size of your substrates, your applications and your production requirements.<\/p>\n","cat_prod-titre_decouverte_machines":"of flatbed UV LED printers","cat_prod_texte_notre_gamme":"

Thermoflan offers two families of flatbed UV LED printers<\/strong> to meet the needs of professionals in customization, signage and industrial marking: compact UV printers<\/strong>, suited to small and medium formats, and GH series UV printers<\/strong>, designed for applications requiring larger print areas and higher production capacity.<\/p>\n

These machines produce digital UV prints directly on a variety of substrates, with configurations tailored to part dimensions, materials and the desired finishes.<\/p>\n

Explore our range of professional UV printers<\/strong> below, from the compact A3MAX, 6045 and 6090 models to the GH series machines, along with their technical specifications, to identify the right solution for your business.<\/p>\n","cat-prod-toutes_nos_machines":"","cat_prod-titre_quest_ce_que":"What is UV printing and how does it work?","cat_prod_texte_quest_ce_que":"

UV printing is a direct digital printing process that uses special inks that cure under ultraviolet light. Unlike techniques that require a transfer or printing on an intermediate medium, it applies designs directly to the surface of objects, with no printing plate or screen.<\/p>\n

Digital UV printing<\/strong> prints directly from a file, in color and without tooling: it is ideal for customization, photographic images, gradients and short or variable runs.<\/p>\n

Pad printing<\/strong> transfers ink from an etched plate using a flexible pad. It excels on highly curved or textured surfaces and becomes very cost-effective for long runs of the same design.<\/p>\n

The two processes are often complementary: Thermoflan offers both technologies and will guide you toward the one that best suits your parts and volumes.<\/p>\n

The principle of UV LED digital printing<\/h3>\n

A UV LED digital printer<\/strong> works on the inkjet principle. Print heads jet fine droplets of ink onto the substrate, while UV LED lamps cure them, meaning they harden them rapidly.<\/p>\n

This process enables four-color (CMYK) printing, to which, depending on the equipment, a white layer can be added for dark or transparent substrates, as well as a spot varnish to create finishing effects. Layering multiple coats of ink or varnish also makes it possible to achieve raised and textured effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UV LED printing therefore stands out for its ability to reproduce detailed graphics directly on a wide variety of objects and materials, with no extended drying time required after printing.<\/p>\n","cat_prod_texte_quelle_difference":"

UV printing<\/strong> and pad printing<\/strong> are two marking techniques used to customize objects and industrial parts. They differ mainly in their printing process, suitable substrates and production volumes.<\/p>\n

Digital UV printing<\/strong> applies inks directly to the substrate from a computer file, with no printing plate required. It is particularly well suited to multicolor graphics, photographs, short runs and one-off customization. Depending on the equipment, it can also print white and varnish and create raised effects.<\/p>\n

Pad printing<\/strong> transfers ink using a silicone pad and an etched plate. It stands out for its ability to mark objects with complex shapes, including curved, concave or irregular surfaces. It is particularly advantageous for repetitive series production.<\/p>\n

The choice between these two technologies therefore depends on part geometry, the number of colors, production quantities and marking constraints.<\/p>\n
