The KGT-1016 is a UV flatbed printer designed for businesses that need direct printing on acrylic, phone cases, and metal. With a 1,000 × 1,600 mm maximum printing size, Ricoh GH2220 printheads, and variable inkjet printing technology, it provides a printing platform for advertising printing companies, product manufacturers, and industrial printing businesses.
For factory buyers, the KGT-1016 combines a defined printing area, UV LED curing, and automated ink management in one machine. Its specifications allow purchasers to compare the equipment against their required material sizes, printing resolution, production speed, and available factory space.
1,000 × 1,600 mm Printing Size for Flexible Production
The KGT-1016 features a maximum printing size of 1,000 × 1,600 mm, with a 1,050 × 1,650 mm platform. This provides a working area for businesses handling different flat products and customized printing orders.
For manufacturers evaluating a UV flatbed printing machine, the printing area is an important consideration when matching equipment to existing product dimensions and production requirements. The KGT-1016 provides a defined flatbed format for acrylic, phone case, and metal printing applications.
Ricoh GH2220 Printheads and Variable Inkjet Technology
The KGT-1016 uses Ricoh GH2220 printheads, with five printheads as standard and support for five to eight printheads. It offers two printing resolutions: 720 × 900 dpi and 720 × 1,200 dpi.
The variable inkjet printing system supports the machine's UV printing process, while the CMYK, white, and varnish ink configuration provides a defined color setup for its listed applications. For buyers comparing a UV flatbed machine, the printhead configuration and printing resolution should be considered alongside the required image quality, materials, and production workflow.
Printing Speed for Production Planning
The KGT-1016 provides the following bi-directional printing speeds:
l 720 × 900 dpi, 6 PASS: 3–3.7 Sqm/h.
l 720 × 1,200 dpi, 8 PASS: 2–2.8 Sqm/h.
The 6 PASS and 8 PASS configurations allow buyers to compare the listed output rates at different resolutions. For an advertising printing machine or customized product manufacturer, these figures provide a starting point for evaluating production capacity and expected job turnaround.
Actual production output depends on the selected printing mode, material, and workflow.
Vacuum Platform and Automatic Height Measurement
The KGT-1016 is equipped with a vacuum platform, carriage lift, and automatic height measurement system. The platform supports flat material placement, while the height measurement configuration helps operators adjust the carriage for different substrate thicknesses.
The machine has a 500 kg net weight and dimensions of 2,150 × 2,120 × 1,320 mm. These specifications are relevant to factory buyers planning equipment installation, floor space, and material handling.
Automatic Ink Supply and UV LED Curing
The KGT-1016 features an automatic ink supply system and a negative pressure system with automatic adjustment. It uses UV durable inks, with an ink capacity of 1,500 ml.
The curing system consists of a dual UV LED lamp and water cooling system. These are part of the printer's ink management and curing configuration for its specified printing applications.
Servo Motor and Independent Y-Axis Drive
The KGT-1016 uses an industrial high-quality servo motor and an independent Y-axis motor drive. This configuration is part of the machine's motion system and is relevant to buyers reviewing mechanical specifications when comparing UV flatbed printers.
The printer also uses ColorGATE RIP software from Germany and operates on Windows 64-bit.
Applications for Acrylic, Phone Cases, and Metal
The KGT-1016 is specified for acrylic, phone cases, and metal printing.
For businesses evaluating a UV flatbed printer for acrylic, phone case printing, or metal printing, the machine's 1,000 × 1,600 mm printing size and listed UV printing configuration provide a basis for assessing its suitability. Buyers should confirm the compatibility of their specific substrates, including metal sheets or aluminium products, with KINGT before purchase.
Technical Configuration for Factory Buyers
The KGT-1016 has a maximum power of 3,500W, including 1,500W of vacuum power. It requires an input voltage of 220–240V at 50/60Hz and operates in an environment with a temperature of 18–26°C and relative humidity of 20%–80%.
For buyers planning to buy a UV printer, these specifications help with factory preparation, electrical planning, and environmental requirements. Reviewing the full equipment configuration alongside the UV flatbed printer price can support a more informed purchasing evaluation.

FAQ
1. How crisp is the print quality on micro-products like metal badges, nail art, or acrylic charm keychains?
Powered by Ricoh GH2220 printheads with an ultra-fine 3pL minimum ink droplet, the KGT-1016 delivers up to 720 * 1,200 dpi resolution. It produces razor-sharp micro-fonts, smooth skin tones, and vector-like edge clarity required for premium close-up retail goods.
2. Will installing this machine require expensive factory renovation, special three-phase wiring, or dedicated power lines?
Designed for effortless integration, the KGT-1016 runs on standard single-phase AC 220 -- 240 V (50/60Hz) with a low max power consumption of 3,500W (including 1,500W for the vacuum suction system). Its compact dimensions (2,150 * 2,218 * 1,132 mm) and 500 kg weight allow easy transport through standard freight doors and elevators.
3. Small-batch or print-on-demand shops often have machine idle time. How does the machine prevent white ink from clogging during standby?
The printer incorporates an automatic white ink mixing function, an automatic negative pressure system, and automated ink delivery. Even during idle periods, the system maintains continuous ink suspension and stable pneumatic pressure across 1,500 mL ink tanks, enabling instant production readiness with minimal manual maintenance.
4. What is the actual hourly production rate for small-batch job planning?
We provide exact, honest output speeds based on real-world bi-directional print modes:
6PASS Mode (720 * 900 dpi): 3--3.7 Sqm/h (ideal for standard commercial items and promotional gifts).
8PASS Mode (720 * 1,200 dpi): 2--2.8 Sqm/h (for high-density artwork, micro-text, multi-layer embossing, and varnish coats).
5. How does the machine handle delicate color accuracy and durable ink adhesion on hard, non-porous media like metal or glass?
The KGT-1016 comes bundled with German ColorGATE RIP software (on 64-bit Windows) for spot-color precision and accurate ICC profiling. Curing is driven by dual UV LED lamps with water cooling, fixing UV LED-curable inks (C/M/Y/K/W/V) rapidly without warping heat-sensitive plastics or acrylics.
