- What can the SIHAO A3 L805 UV Printer print on?
- It prints on flat rigid materials such as acrylic, wood, metal, plastic, glass and phone cases. Porous and coated surfaces take UV ink best; untreated surfaces may need a primer.
- Does it print white ink?
- It uses UV ink and can be set up with white ink, but there is no recirculation system, so white ink must be shaken and cycled by hand to avoid settling and clogging.
- How is it different from a standard Epson L805?
- The L805 is a dye-ink photo printer for paper. This machine uses the L805 print engine in a flatbed frame with UV-curable ink and a UV curing lamp, so it prints on objects rather than sheets.
- What is the maximum print size?
- The bed is A3, so it handles items up to roughly A3 footprint. Objects taller than the adjustable head clearance will not fit.
- Is it suitable for a full production shop?
- It is best for short runs and samples. For high-volume work, industrial UV flatbeds offer larger beds, faster speeds and automated white-ink handling.
- What maintenance does it need?
- Daily printhead cleaning and nozzle checks, plus regular ink agitation. UV ink cures hard, so a neglected head can clog and be costly to recover.
