Description
CJ 6800ES / CJ 5500ES | Seiko Alfa 25PL Solvent Printer & Wide Format Printer
If your shop handles outdoor banners, hoardings, and building wraps that are wider than what a standard 3.2-metre machine can handle, the CJ 6800ES / CJ 5500ES is built for exactly that scale. This solvent printer is a heavy-duty wide format printer and large format printer that gives you a choice between 6800mm and 5500mm media widths — enough to print extra wide non-joint flex in a single pass without seaming panels together.
At its core, this machine runs up to 6 genuine Seiko SPT1024HG Alfa 25PL printheads in a staggered 3x4 layout, pushing out 1440 dpi resolution at speeds up to 4,500 Sqft/hr on the CJ 6800ES. That combination of width and speed makes it a serious piece of digital printing equipment for banner printing, large poster printing, sticker printing, vinyl stickers, and large format printing at a scale most shops cannot reach with smaller machines. It works as a flex printing machine, a printer for vinyl, and a production backbone for print on demand businesses that take on oversized orders. If you are searching for a large format printer or digital inkjet printer that handles the really big stuff — hoardings, billboards, full-building graphics — the CJ 6800ES and CJ 5500ES are among the most capable solvent printer options you can put on a production floor.
Extra Wide Non-Joint Flex — No Seaming, No Weak Seams
The CJ 6800ES prints at 6.6m width and the CJ 5500ES at 5.4m width — both in a single seamless pass. For commercial printers doing large format printing on hoardings and building wraps, this flex printing machine eliminates the weak seam lines that plague seamed panels, making it the best UV printer alternative for high-output outdoor banners and billboard production.
While a UV flatbed printer or uv dtf printer excels at small-format custom printing on rigid or 3D objects, the CJ 6800ES dominates the roll-to-roll large format printing space. With its 6 Seiko Alfa heads, it serves as a powerful printer for vinyl, a high-speed sticker printing workhorse, and a production backbone for large poster printing — all from a single digital inkjet printer. When compared to a smaller wide format printer or a dtf printer, the CJ 6800ES stands alone as the most capable solvent printer for shops that handle oversized contracts.
