The Award-Winning Products

• UJV100-160Plus – UV Curable Inkjet Printer

The UJV100-160Plus won the “Best Roll-to-Roll Printer Less Than 170cm” award. This prestigious recognition from the EDP Awards validates its innovative features.

New features like the ink-saving function and maximum 3-layer printing enhance its capabilities. These features help customers to lower their running costs and expand application possibilities.                     

• TxF series: TxF150-75 and TxF300-75 – DTF Printers

Furthermore, The TxF150-75 and TxF300-75 won the “Best Textile Printer Direct to Transfer” award.
