Engineered for industrial rigidity, high-resolution graphic output, and continuous duty-cycle performance.
Evaluating commercial expansion, architectural restoration, and tourism signage requirements across the Hellenic Republic.
The print production ecosystem in Greece—anchored heavily in the Athens metropolitan belt (Attica), Thessaloniki, Patras, and Heraklion—operates at the intersection of cyclical hospitality advertising, marine architectural refurbishment, and short-run industrial packaging. Commercial print providers face strict physical space constraints and demand multi-substrate versatility without the capital expenditure of maintaining separate flatbed and continuous roll-to-roll installations.
The YC2513R hybrid UV platform addresses this structural reality directly. Combining a dedicated heavy-duty 2500 × 1300 mm honeycomb vacuum bed with continuous motorized roll-to-roll feeding capabilities, Greek manufacturing facilities eliminate idle production floor bottlenecks while catering to high-margin architectural glass, composite aluminum sheets, and outdoor backlit textiles.
Signage deployed across the Greek Cyclades, Dodecanese, and coastal mainland faces intense UV solar radiation (UV index >9), aggressive sea-salt aerosolization, and pronounced thermal expansion cycles. Traditional eco-solvent and water-based applications degrade rapidly under such conditions.
Winscolor's industrial UV curing engines cure photo-initiators instantly with dual water-cooled LED-UV lamps operating at 395nm wavelength. This cross-links monomer resins to produce weather-resistant surfaces displaying 7+ grade blue wool lightfastness on substrates including Alucobond aluminum composite panels, cast acrylic, tempered architectural glass, and marine PVC leather.
Bridging industrial print hardware, micro-piezo chemistry, and automated digital manufacturing workflows.
Replaces costly screen-printing jigs and vinyl wrapping on wooden panels, marble-imitation tiles, and metallic façade cladding. With optional multi-layer white underbase and high-gloss 3D tactile varnish channels, converters produce embossed architectural elements up to 100 mm media height.
Warpage and substrate shifting cause carriage crashes and ruined yields. The YC2513R uses an intelligent 4-to-8 independent vacuum chamber configuration with high-flow regenerative turbine pumps, clamping lightweight acrylic or heavy composite plates precisely along the X and Y axes.
Featuring dual silent linear THK guideways, heavy gantry steel tempering, and an anti-static carbon brush bar, this system runs unattended print batches at speeds up to 35-50 m²/h without micro-stepping errors, providing significant ROI within 8 to 12 months.
The wide-format industrial sector is shifting rapidly from pure volume printing toward high-precision smart micro-jetting and automated workflow integration. The YC2513R roadmap integrates three major technological steps:
Procuring capital industrial machinery requires complete operational compliance with European Union directives and dependable local field service.
Full CE Directive Alignment: Compliant with European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU.
VOC Emission Safety & REACH: Winscolor UV curable inks are formulated without heavy metals or N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, ensuring complete indoor compliance in Greek public infrastructure, medical centers, and boutique hotel resorts.
Dedicated Technical Support: Remote real-time telemetry diagnostics, factory-direct PCB circuit boards, and fast critical component dispatch to Athens International Airport (ATH) and Thessaloniki Port.

Dedicated flatbed printers are restricted entirely to rigid boards, requiring print business owners to purchase and house a second roll-to-roll machine for banners, vinyl, and canvas. In high-density Greek commercial sectors such as Attica and Thessaloniki, real estate rent is at a premium. The YC2513R incorporates a dual-drive system: a 2.5m × 1.3m zoned vacuum platform for rigid boards (acrylic, composite, glass) and a synchronized motorized feed-and-takeup roller kit for continuous media rolls. This eliminates redundant equipment footprints, lowers maintenance routines, and cuts operator labor overhead in half.
The YC2513R is configured with closed-loop water-cooled industrial LED UV lamps rather than air-cooled lamps or older mercury discharge bulbs. Operating with an independent industrial thermostatic chiller, the UV LED array maintains a stable curing wavelength of 395nm even when workshop ambient temperatures rise to 38°C–42°C during Mediterranean heat waves. Furthermore, because LED UV introduces cold-curing with near-zero infrared thermal radiation, sensitive plastics such as hollow-core polypropylene sheets, thin polycarbonate, and self-adhesive monomeric PVC remain completely flat without heat-warping or edge-curling.
Winscolor provides comprehensive export support under FOB, CIF, or DDP terms. Standard sea freight vessels transit directly to Piraeus Container Terminal (PCT)—the premier maritime gateway into Greece—or Thessaloniki Port for North Greece distributions, typically requiring 25 to 32 days transit from Qingdao/Shanghai. All machinery is encased in vacuum-sealed moisture barrier foil, desiccated, and crated in fumigated export-grade marine plywood. We supply complete commercial invoices, CE Declarations of Conformity, and Certificates of Origin to streamline rapid Greek customs clearance through local customs brokerage partners.
Dense, non-porous substrates such as Greek architectural float glass, polished stainless steel, and glazed ceramics possess high surface energy and low microscopic mechanical keying. To ensure industrial cross-hatch adhesion (DIN EN ISO 2409 Class 0), Winscolor supplies specialized chemical silane coupling primers and offers an optional automated inline printhead primer jetting channel. Once primed and cured with our high-pigment UV inks, prints exhibit exceptional scratch resistance, water repellent properties, and chemical tolerance against common European commercial detergents.
Every industrial unit is equipped with network-tethered board controllers enabling direct remote diagnostic telemetry via TeamViewer and encrypted VPN. Winscolor senior systems engineers evaluate sub-tank pressures, positive/negative purge systems, optical encoder scales, and firing voltages directly from our Jinan R&D center in real time. Critical consumables and mechanical spare parts—including UV sub-tank filters, damper kits, solenoids, and linear bearings—are dispatched via DHL Express with direct air service into Athens within 3 to 5 business days.
