1-UVT1606WS: with white color option, with this machine you can print on any kind of materials (white and none-white) like Glass, wood, stone, marble, ceramic tiles, all kind of metals, acrylic, and the Alu Cladding sheets so the background of the materials will not effect on the design and the artwork u2026 speed is: 9-14sqm/hour.
2-UVT1606VS: with Varnish option, with this machine you have to print on only white background like foam boards, card boards, corrugated sheets, or any white painted materials. And you have the varnish full or spot options on top of the printing for glossy finishing u2026 speed is: 10-15sqm/hour.
3-UVT1604D-WV: which has both above options (Varnish _ White) with higher speed also while its double head machineu2026 speed is: 16-24sqm/hour.
From our experience with our customers the white color option is more general and you can use it for all kind of materials specially that the UV printing technology will allow you to print on any materials and not like the solvent technology which you need only pre-coated or special materials u2026 and the 3rd option is the one which is the fast moving now for us while it has it all u2026
And the customers who are sure of using only white materials will have fun with the varnish option which can give them nice finishing for their products u2026 but not all their end users are requiring that honestly u2026
So bottom line if you are sure that you will use only white and un-clear materials then the varnish optioned machine will be good for you but if you are looking for more general items then you have to consider the white color optioned machine u2026
