1,200 × 1,600 mm Printing Size for Product Manufacturing
The KGT-1216 features a maximum printing size of 1,200 × 1,600 mm and a platform size of 1,250 × 1,650 mm. 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 factor when matching equipment to existing product dimensions and production requirements. The KGT-1216 provides a flatbed format for its listed applications, including handicrafts, nail art, and vapes.
High-Drop Printing with Ricoh GH2220 Printheads
The KGT-1216 uses 6–8 Ricoh GH2220 printheads, with six printheads as standard. Its printing height is 0–150 mm, with 70 mm as the standard printing height.
The high-drop printing capability and adjustable height configuration are relevant to businesses working with products of different thicknesses. For buyers comparing a UV flatbed machine, the printhead configuration, printing height, and material requirements should be evaluated together to determine whether the machine suits their production needs.
Printing Speed for Production Planning
The KGT-1216 provides two pass modes with different speed configurations:
Pass mode | High/Strong | Medium | Low/Light |

FAQ
1. For fine small-item printing like nail art, vapes, or 3C electronics, can the KGT-1216 produce crisp text and smooth gradients without graininess?
The KGT-1216 utilizes 6–8 Ricoh GH2220 printheads (standard 6 pcs) delivering a 3pL minimum ink drop size and variable dot technology. Supporting up to 720 * 1,200 dpi resolution, it produces sharp micro-text, clean graphics, and smooth color transitions suited for close-up inspection on products like phone cases, vapes, and handicrafts.
2. Small-to-midsize workshops often worry about heavy electricity usage and workshop space limitations. What are the actual facility requirements for the KGT-1216?
The KGT-1216 is engineered for low utility consumption:
Footprint & Weight: Compact setup dimensions (2,250 * 2,300 *1,185 mm, net weight 650 kg) with a 1,200 * 1,600 mm print bed 1,250 * 1,650 mm platform size).
Power Consumption: Operates on standard AC 220 -- 240V(50/60Hz) with a maximum power draw of 3,500W (including 1,500W for the vacuum platform), making it energy-efficient and suitable for small facilities.
3. White ink sedimentation and pressure fluctuations lead to missing nozzles and ruined batches. How does the KGT-1216 maintain stable ink delivery?
The printer incorporates an automatic negative pressure adjustment system alongside a white ink mixing function and automatic ink supply. This keeps heavy white pigments suspended and ensures consistent ink pressure, avoiding starvation or nozzle clogging during long production runs.
4. What are the realistic production speeds we can expect under different feathering and quality settings?
We provide transparent speed measurements across pass modes and feathering levels:
6PASS Mode: 8.38 ㎡/h (Low/Light feathering), 7.15㎡/h (Medium feathering), and 5.2 ㎡/h (High/Strong feathering for smooth gradient pass coverage).
8PASS Mode: 6.53 ㎡/h (Low/Light feathering), 5.6 ㎡/h (Medium feathering), and 4 ㎡/h (High/Strong feathering for max density and precision).
5. What RIP software and curing setup are included for multi-layer color matching?
The machine includes German ColorGATE RIP software (running on 64-bit Windows) for precise ICC color profiling and spot color control (C/M/Y/K/W/V). Curing is driven by dual UV LED lamps with a water cooling system, ensuring fast ink fixation and strong adhesion without thermal distortion of heat-sensitive substrates.
