Engineered for non-stop industrial duty cycles. Explore our factory-direct 2500×1300mm flatbed, high-speed rotary, and hybrid roll systems configured with Ricoh Gen6 and high-frequency curing arrays.
Why the 2.5m × 1.3m (98.4" × 51.2") flatbed format has solidified itself as the definitive dimensional benchmark across the global visual communications and industrial manufacturing landscape.
The 2500 mm × 1300 mm printable footprint was not developed arbitrarily. It directly mirrors the global standard sheet dimensions of the architectural, timber, and signage industries: the ubiquitous 4 ft × 8 ft (1220 mm × 2440 mm) panel. By accommodating these dimensions with edge-to-edge full-bleed registration tolerances, the 2513 configuration eliminates raw material pre-cutting, reduces pre-press labor overhead by 40%, and prevents catastrophic edge-bleed ink splatter.
Legacy mercury arc lamps emitted punishing broad-spectrum IR heat exceeding 80°C, causing thin styrene, corrugated PVC, and acrylics to warp or de-vacuum. Modern OEM 2513 configurations incorporate water-cooled, multi-zone UV-LED arrays emitting targeted 395 nm narrow-band wavelengths. This reduces operating substrate temperatures below 35°C, slashes operational electrical draw by up to 68%, and delivers over 25,000 operational hours without thermal degradation.
The migration to industrial Ricoh Gen6 (MH5320) piezo printheads enables droplet ejection rates of up to 50 kHz. Offering variable grayscale drop sizes ranging from 5 pl to 15 pl, the print system achieves unmatched dot placement accuracy without satellite misting. This allows industrial OEM systems to execute smooth skin-tone gradients, high-density white under-bases, and high-build tactile spot varnishes in a single pass.

For global print service providers (PSPs) handling 1,500 m² to 6,000 m² per month, sourcing directly from Jinan Yingcai Digital Technology delivers an immediate 42% to 58% CapEx advantage over localized European or North American assembly brands. By controlling the CNC gantry manufacturing, negative pressure fluid routing, and board integration in-house, the cost per hour of production drops to baseline fluid and electrical consumption. The average payback timeline ranges between 4.8 and 7.2 months under single-shift operations.
Printhead failure in industrial UV equipment is overwhelmingly caused by negative pressure variance, temperature fluctuations, and particulate sedimentation. Winscolor OEM machines utilize dual closed-loop negative pressure systems that decouple white ink cavitation dynamics from the color channels. Integrated heated ink sub-tanks maintain kinematic viscosity at exactly 10.5 mPa·s before fluid reaches the nozzle plate, preventing nozzle dropout during 12-hour continuous production runs.
Operating from our 20,000 m² Jinan manufacturing hub with six synchronized assembly lines, Winscolor couples advanced mechanical engineering with tier-one global industrial components.
Structural chassis stability forms the foundation of droplet precision. Winscolor gantry beams undergo high-temperature stress-relief thermal annealing to eliminate internal micro-crystalline steel tensions. Subsequent five-axis CNC bridge milling ensures rail mounting surfaces remain flat within a ±0.015 mm tolerance across the entire 2.5-meter cross-axis span.
While structural chassis and software architectures are developed in-house, critical mechanical and electrical motion assemblies utilize globally recognized industrial standards: Japanese THK or Taiwan Hiwin dual silent guide rails, Panasonic/Yaskawa AC servo drive systems, German IGUS low-friction towlines, and Italian Megadyne synchronous belts.
No machine departs our Jinan logistics portal without passing an unyielding multi-tier qualification audit. Every UV 2513 unit undergoes 72 continuous hours of full-bed, high-speed multi-pass printing on reflective composite substrates to verify linear encoder fidelity, vacuum bed pressure distribution across all 4 to 8 zones, and thermostatic stability under prolonged UV-LED loads.
Engineered for direct-to-object manufacturing across high-demand industrial sectors. Discover how advanced UV chemistries solve adhesion and resolution challenges across rigid, flexible, and rotary substrates.
Utilizing automated inline liquid plasma or silane nano-adhesion primers, the YC2513 flatbed deposits scratch-resistant, water-impermeable inks directly onto tempered glass splashbacks, acoustic panels, and glazed ceramic tiles with cross-hatch test results meeting ASTM D3359 Class 5B standards.
Short-run custom packaging, honeycomb board, and micro-flute e-commerce shipping cartons are produced on-demand without expensive plate charges. Zero make-ready setup time allows converters to print customized SKUs and promotional boxes profitably from batch sizes of 1 up to 10,000 units.
By stacking multiple layers of UV white ink combined with high-build gloss varnish, our equipment produces raised 3D textures, leather grain emulations, and certified tactile ADA-compliant signage including domestic and international standard Braille lettering in an uninterrupted automated sequence.
The optional motorized rotary chuck attachment integrates directly into the 2513/1610 vacuum beds. Synchronized with the Y-axis encoder pulse, operators print 360-degree continuous seamless wraps onto insulated stainless steel cups, glass bottles, and cosmetic containers without registration banding.
Direct answers to mission-critical questions posed by OEM equipment buyers, distributor maintenance engineers, and plant operations directors.
The Ricoh Gen6 (MH5320) head operates at a native firing frequency of up to 50 kHz compared to the 30 kHz ceiling of the Gen5. In production environments, this yields an effective speed boost of approximately 30% to 35% at identical DPI settings. Furthermore, Gen6 supports smaller 5 pl minimum drop sizes, resulting in superior edge sharpness for micro-text and barcodes down to 2-point font sizes without visual ink bleeding.
Titanium dioxide particles used in UV white inks have a high specific gravity and naturally settle if static. Winscolor OEM architectures incorporate a triple-stage preventive mechanism: continuous motorized stirring inside the primary bulk tank, high-volume closed-loop peristaltic circulation through the sub-tanks, and periodic automated purge/recirculation sequences directly through the printhead dampeners.
Yes. Electrostatic build-up causes ink droplets to deviate in flight, producing hazy halos or ink misting around high-contrast graphic boundaries. Winscolor units are equipped with industrial high-output active ionizing anti-static bars mounted directly beside the print carriage. These bars neutralize substrate surface charges before ink ejection, ensuring laser-precise drop trajectory.
Our print control software integrates seamlessly with all global industry-standard RIP platforms, including Onyx Graphics, Caldera RIP, Sai Photoprint (FlexiPRINT), and UltraPrint. We provide factory-calibrated ICC profiles for standard substrates including cast acrylic, expanded PVC, aluminium composite (Dibond), corrugated packaging, and backlit films.
The standard Z-axis clearance accommodates rigid boards and objects up to 100 mm (3.93 inches) in thickness, with an optional motorized gantry elevation upgrade extending clearance up to 400 mm for deep-cavity carton boxes and finished cabinets. The reinforced milled vacuum bed comfortably supports media weights of up to 50 kg/m² without table deflection.
Winscolor supports distributors and enterprise customers worldwide via full turnkey installation protocols: English-speaking field engineers are dispatched for on-site commissioning, supplemented by real-time video diagnostic sessions. Fast-moving consumables, printheads, boards, and mechanical components are dispatched via DHL/FedEx priority with shipping hubs maintaining 98% in-stock availability.
