UV Printer Buyer’s Guide for Print Shops,
Entrepreneurs, and Hobbyists Alike
You’re here to find the best UV printers on the market. You want straightforward, reliable, no-nonsense information because you don’t have time for hours of comparison videos or reviews, and you can’t risk buying the wrong one and regretting it. You want to buy once and be happy with your choice.
We’ve got you covered with these tried-and-tested UV printers. Every printer on the list below has been thoroughly vetted and tested for years before making it into this guide.
So, without further ado, let us present to you the best UV printers you can buy in 2024 (and beyond).
ColDesi UV 24H3R – First, a customer favorite, is the ColDesi UV 24H3R UV/DTF printer. And before you ask, yes, it is indeed a multi-purpose UV (ultraviolet) direct-to-film printer that combines the strengths of both UV and DTF technologies.
In practical terms, this means your artwork is printed directly onto a transfer film rather than the final product itself.
Think of these transfer films as decals that can be applied to a wide variety of hard surfaces, including flat and uneven surfaces, cylindrical or conical shapes, arcs, concave areas, and other irregular forms. It may sound too good to be true, but it’s the real deal, thanks to this innovative technology. So, what will the ColDesi UV 24H3R cost you? Just under $20,000, as of this writing.
However, as we hinted earlier, this isn’t the only option worth considering. Other machines may be just as effective, if not better for your specific business needs.
ColDesi UV 300H3F – The next one on the list is the ColDesi 300H3F UV Flatbed Printer. Simply put, this machine is a powerhouse for businesses that demand high-performance, durability, and versatility—all for $40,845 as of this publication date.
It has everything you need to succeed, including an integrated rotary printing system and the ability to print on objects up to 9+ inches tall. Whether you’re working with irregular shapes or three-dimensional surfaces, this printer is up for the challenge.
And did we mention it prints directly onto objects? That’s right—this UV printer can apply ink directly to items like bottles, phone cases, signs, or any other 3D objects without needing to go through extra steps like printing on transfer film and manually applying decals or stickers. Of course, everyone has their preferences, so let’s explore some other flatbed UV printers on these pages here…
ColDesi UV 500H3F – Next up is the ColDesi 500H3F UV Flatbed Printer, and it’s a true standout in the lineup. Physically, it’s even more impressive than the previous models, with a massive 63×47 inch print area—almost double the size of the ColDesi 300H3F.
But it’s not just about size; this printer brings versatility to the table too. Whether you’re printing directly onto large signs, adding special effects, or handling high-volume jobs, the ColDesi 500H3F can do it all with ease.
It delivers exceptional image quality with vibrant ColDesi VividBond 6-color CMYKWV UV Inks and advanced printheads, ensuring stunning, detailed prints every time.
Plus, with smart features like an automatic height measurement system, variable dot technology, and a user-friendly vacuum bed, you’ll have to look long and hard to find any other printer that matches the ColDesi 500H3F in terms of performance and ease of use.
Today’s price? $54,995!
Mutoh XpertJet 461UF & 661UF – We’re now in Mutoh’s territory. If Mutoh isn’t on your radar yet, it’s time to change that.
Mutoh is a well-known brand in the printing industry, particularly among print shops, product decorators, customizers, crafters, and businesses involved in personalized and promotional products.
For these folks, Mutoh printers like the XpertJet series are often seen as a go-to solution for custom printing needs.
Here at ColDesi, we carry two models in its lineup— Mutoh XpertJet 461UF and the 661UF.
So, what makes these printers stand out?
Well, they produce prints that are incredibly smooth to the touch and the application of varnish adds an instant professional look to the finished product.
But there’s more to love.
These printers are also super economical.
The 461UF model is priced at $20,995, making it a fantastic value for what you get.
If you need something with a bit more heft, the 661UF is priced at $28,995.
It’s a solid investment for those looking to handle larger projects and expand their capabilities.
