Flatbed UV Printing in a Small Footprint at Affordable Prices: A Dream Come True with Xante'

If a flatbed UV printer isn't on your wish list, it will be or, at least, should be. For many commercial print providers, flatbed printers were just too large and too expensive to be realistically considered. Thanks to Xante' and its innovative development team, the barrier to entry for flatbed printing has been lowered – or, more accurately, shrunk – in both size and cost.

The Xante' X-33 and X-16 flatbed UV printers are designed to meet the constrained floorspace that print shops must endure. Taking up an area no more that just six square feet, these printers offer shops the ability to quickly produce high profit margin products such as signs, promotional specialties, personalized gift items, and décor with extremely high quality. Powered by iQueue, Xante's simple but incredibly versatile Adobe PostScript-based PDF workflow software, the X-33 and X-16 give even the most novice operator the ability to produce the best output at the finest resolution and most brilliant full-color quality. Xante's X-33 and X-16 give commercial printers the best solutions for adding UV technology to their shops at extremely affordable prices.

The X-33 UV printer especially benefits those shops in need of better, faster, cheaper alternatives to the traditional methods of producing signs on coroplast or other rigid substrates thanks to its ample 24'' x 36'' vacuum flat bed. Turning around typical 18'' x 24'' signs with full-color graphics at speeds under two minutes per sign with excellent quality on the X-33 eliminates the tedious, costly process of cutting and applying vinyl lettering. Shops can also easily add full photographic images without much added effort that give an extra level of impact to everyday signage thanks to the highest quality resolution of 2880 dpi available on the X-33. Speed, of course, is essential. The X-33 incorporates two four-channel print heads including one with four-channels of white ink only that is offset from the CMYK head. This feature allows the X-33 to accelerate print speed by applying any white ink simultaneously with the process colors. Signage, however, is not the only print job that's ideal for the X-33. Xante's design allows the print head to elevate up to a height of six inches for printing on three-dimensional objects such as boxes, golf balls, baseballs, or footballs. All that's required is a jig to secure the object on the bed and the X-33 takes care of the rest.

For shops trying to find a UV printer that can handle the widest array of production for demanding clients, the X-16 fits the bill in many ways. The printer's 18'' x 24'' vacuum bed is large enough for handling rigid substrates. The print head elevates to a maximum 7.75'' to accommodate three-dimensional objects with ease. The X-16 also includes a rotary attachment for printing on cylindrical objects such as bottles, cups, or glassware. The X-16 is truly a “do-it-all” printer. Whether the job is a typical yard sign, promotional specialty mug, a personalized gift box, or a logo imprint on a ballpoint pen, the X-16 has the capacity and quality to produce outstanding results.

The powerful iQueue workflow software, included with both printers, is the key to achieving the best results. Full control of white ink, color profiles, imposition, and even variable data are just a few of the extensive benefits that iQueue provides. Its straight-forward user interface is quick to learn. Within minutes, operators of the X-33 or X-16 can be producing money-making jobs of the highest quality using iQueue. Repeat jobs are trouble-free since iQueue retains all settings ready for the next order. Future upgrades of the software are included as well for as long as the shop is printing with the X-33 or X-16. iQueue is the ideal software solution for fast, reliable highest quality output on the Xante' printers. 

Whether the choice is the X-33 or the X-16, the dream of affordable but right-sized UV printing has become a reality thanks to Xante'.
