Key Features
Patented Wet-Cap Mechanism: An automatic wet-cap keeps nozzles healthy with every print, so white ink clogs stop being a daily problem.
Industrial Ricoh Printheads: UNINET uses Ricoh industrial-grade heads with Bulk Piston Piezo technology for better reliability and a longer service life than the film-type piezo heads found in many DTF machines.
Independent 4-Zone Heater: Four separately controlled heater zones dry each color and white layer properly, whatever the ink volume.
Adjustable 7-Inch Touchscreen: Check ink levels and parts status, browse stored files and watch print progress at a glance.
Cloud Support: 24/7 cloud connection downloads software updates and sends daily status reports to UNINET for fast diagnostics, free with the machine.
Flexible Connectivity: Print over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or a USB memory stick, and reprint past jobs from 32 GB of onboard storage without a PC.
Status LED and Alarm: A bright status light is visible across the shop; it blinks red and sounds an alarm when the machine needs attention right away.
Dual Feeding Mechanism: Front and rear rollers keep film flat and under steady tension, which minimizes the risk of costly head strikes.
Automatic Inline Cutter: Trims automatically at the end of each page or when the job is done.
Motorized Unwinder: Smart sensors detect low media and sync with the feed system to prevent waste.
Integrated Safety System: Monitors temperature, humidity, electrical and mechanical performance, and pauses or stops the machine if anything is off. Film guides and a vacuum print area help prevent head strikes and film buckling.
Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: Six sensors read the room continuously, and the software adjusts jetting and drying for a cold, dry shop or a hot, humid one.
Compact Design: Fits through a standard 32" doorway.
