The Cromaprint™ 18UV digital printing system is a fully integrated combination roll-to-roll/flatbed UV curable inkjet printing system designed for a wide variety of graphics signage and industrial applications. Sold as a complete solution including a 72 inch wide (1.8 m) vacuum belt engineered print engine, Cromanet® CS software print server, 4 color gamut enhanced ink set, along with world class installation, training, service and support. Simply the fastest UV printer in its price class.

Features & Highlights

The next generation gamut enhanced UV curable ink technology provides faithful color reproduction of both process and spot colors including most of the Pantone® color library. The Cromaprint™ 18UV 4-color gamut enhanced ink set features high gloss, compatibility with a wide range of flexible and rigid substrates, and uniform fast curing at a low energy level to ensure accurate, rich color. User selectable resolution modes offer the versatility to produce the highest quality work at the fastest possible speeds for application. Thanks to DuPont color science the included Cromanet® CS helps produce consistently high quality color results through spectral calibration and profiling.

The DuPont™ Cromaprint™ 18UV can switch back and forth from rigid to flexible media in a matter of minutes due to the versatility engineered in the system design. Offering standard roll-to-roll with automatic take-up and roller ball tables for rigid media handling, along with a uniquely designed combination vacuum bed/feed roller drive, the system can handle a very wide variety of media up to 1 inch (25mm) thick.

As a fully integrated system, the Cromaprint™ 18UV is easy to learn and provides quick start-up to begin daily production. From intuitive and straightforward job workflow software, to automated registration tools, to simple ink loading and very little daily maintenance, the Cromaprint® UV system is designed to meet heavy production demands.

Topping the list of Core Values for DuPont is focus on safety and the environment, and Cromaprint™ UV is specifically designed with that in mind. From pinch points, to E-stops, to air handling and UV light protection, the 18UV is designed for maximum safety for the operator. A fully enclosed print area not only protects from potentially damaging UV light, it is also specially designed for air handling and direct vented to ensure a consistent and safe print environment.

Wild claims won’t produce the daily work load, so DuPont guarantees 100% realistic production speeds listed in the Technical Data Sheets. Therefore a realistic ROI can be calculated. DuPont Cromanet® software provides for image screening, dithering, sequencing, and interlacing along with top performing equipment components enabling high quality bi-directional printing at a wide variety of user selectable print modes.

The Cromaprint™ UV systems are truly designed for industrial round the clock performance, and intended to have a long productive life cycle. World class components including Spectra® Galaxy 256 industrial piezo print heads, high resolution encoders and motors, as well as easy to replace pumps, filters, and UV lamps.
