CG-UV1216 UV Printers | Best Large Format Printers & UV Flatbed Printer
The CG-UV1216 UV Printer is a highly versatile large format printer and wide format printer designed for businesses entering the high-margin rigid substrate market. Featuring a 1200mm x 1600mm print area and equipped with advanced Epson I3200CF3 printheads, this UV flatbed printer handles custom rigid sheets and large-format materials end to end — no pre-treatment, no waiting, no wasted time. It is the best UV printer for operations that need high-quality custom printing capabilities, offering unparalleled reliability as core digital printing equipment.
As a compact UV printer machine, the CG-UV1216 supports UV curable inks across wood, glass, acrylic, metal, and ceramic tiles. Its direct-to-substrate workflow — print and UV-cure instantly — is far more profitable than the cutting and applying required by a standard flex printing machine used for outdoor banners and vinyl stickers. For commercial printers, a print on demand gift business, or a custom decor shop, the CG-UV1216 represents the perfect entry point into industrial large format printers. Whether you are doing small-run poster printing on wood panels, customized sticker printing, or high-end promotional items, this digital inkjet printer delivers the precision and speed that separate serious custom operations from standard sign shops.
1.2m x 1.6m Flatbed — Compact Yet Powerful
The 1200mm x 1600mm flatbed print area fits easily into shops while handling standard-sized rigid materials. For commercial printers needing large format printing capabilities, this UV printer offers full-board uv printing with no manual intervention — making it the best UV printer for small-to-medium production environments.
The CG-UV1216 is a true industrial UV printer machine designed for businesses that want flatbed capabilities without the massive footprint. With its 600 x 1800 dpi resolution, it serves as a powerful printer for vinyl, a dedicated machine for banner printing on rigid substrates, and a high-end solution for large poster printing — all from a single digital inkjet printer. When compared to a flex printing machine or a smaller uv dtf printer, the CG-UV1216 stands alone as the most versatile UV flatbed printer for serious custom production.
