IEHK UV Printer –
The Ultimate 2-in-1 Powerhouse for UV Direct & UV DTF Printing!

IEHK UV Printers Complete Lineup: From A4 Desktop UV Printer to 6090 Industrial UV Flatbed Printer

The world of custom product printing has been revolutionized by IEHK UV printers. Whether you are launching a home‑based business or scaling an existing print shop, understanding the differences across the IEHK UV printer family is essential. From the compact A4 UV printer to the powerful 6090 UV flatbed printer, IEHK offers a model for every budget and production volume. This comprehensive guide explores the unique advantages of each IEHK UV printer – the A4, A3, A3 (XP600), A3 Rotary, 6040, and 6090 – helping you choose the right machine for your custom merchandise business.

At the core of every IEHK UV printer is advanced UV‑LED curing technology. Unlike conventional printing that requires long drying times, UV printing instantly cures ink using ultraviolet light. This delivers several key benefits: print‑and‑cure instantly with no waiting, no ink bleeding for razor‑sharp edges, and space‑saving workflow without drying racks. Combined with IEHK’s exclusive 2‑in‑1 functionality, these printers can perform direct UV printing on rigid materials and also create UV DTF transfers for flexible surfaces.

Core Technology Advantages Shared by All IEHK UV Printers

Before comparing individual models, it is important to understand the core advantages that every IEHK UV printer shares:

• Original Epson Printhead Technology: All IEHK UV printers use genuine Epson micro‑piezo printheads, ensuring precise droplet control and outstanding print resolution.
• White Ink Circulation System: White ink tends to settle and clog printheads. The automatic circulation system continuously stirs the white ink, preventing sedimentation and ensuring reliable white ink flow.
• 6‑Color Ink System (CMYK + White + Varnish): Beyond standard CMYK, the addition of white enables printing on dark materials without pretreatment, while varnish adds gloss and durability.
• Automatic Printhead Cleaning: Scheduled automatic cleaning cycles reduce manual maintenance and minimize downtime.
• Motorized Height Adjustment: Adjust the print bed height with the push of a button to accommodate materials up to 6 inches (150 mm) thick, with some models supporting custom upgrades to 8.66 inches (220 mm).
• Vacuum hold down table securely holds flat materials in place during printing, preventing shifting or warping. This ensures precise registration, sharp edges, and consistent quality – especially for thin, lightweight, or uneven substrates.
• Print‑on‑Demand Flexibility: No minimum order quantities – print a single item or small batches with zero inventory risk.

These core advantages are present across the entire IEHK UV printer lineup, with differences in print size, speed, and specialized features.

The table below provides a clear side‑by‑side comparison of all six IEHK UV printer models to help you make an informed decision:

Detailed Model Advantages

1. A4 UV Printer – The Best Entry‑Level UV Printer

The A4 UV printer is IEHK’s most affordable entry‑level UV printer at just $1,799. With a print area of 11.8″ x 7.87″ (A4), it is perfect for small custom products like phone cases, golf balls, pens, and small gifts. Despite its compact size, it delivers the highest resolution among all IEHK models – 5760 x 1440 dpi – making it ideal for intricate designs and fine text. Weighing only 57 lbs, this A4 UV printer fits easily on a desktop. It also comes standard with a rotary attachment for printing on cylindrical objects (0.78″ to 4.33″ diameter). For startups and hobbyists, this entry‑level UV printer offers unbeatable value.

2. A3 UV Printer – The Versatile Small Business UV Printer

The standard A3 UV printer features the reliable Epson L805 printhead and a 19.5″ x 12.6″ (A3) print area. This larger size enables printing on tablet sleeves, two phone cases side‑by‑side, small signage, and full A3‑sized graphics. It retains the 2‑in‑1 UV/UV DTF functionality and automatic white ink circulation. Priced at $2,299, this small business UV printer strikes the perfect balance between cost and capability – ideal for growing print‑on‑demand shops.

3. A3 UV Printer (XP600) – The High‑Speed UV Printer for Volume Production

Upgraded with the Epson XP600 printhead, this high‑speed UV printer delivers up to 30% faster printing than the standard L805 model while maintaining excellent 2880 x 1440 dpi quality. The XP600 is designed for continuous operation, making it the perfect choice for businesses that print 50+ items daily. At $2,550, this high‑speed UV printer offers a compelling ROI for high‑volume customizers.

4. A3 Rotary UV Printer – The Ultimate Bottle UV Printer

Based on the XP600 platform, the A3 Rotary UV printer comes standard with a rotary attachment for 360‑degree cylindrical printing. Priced at $2,699, it prints directly on bottles, mugs, tumblers, and other drinkware without any additional purchase. The rotary fixture is easily removable, allowing you to switch between flat and cylindrical printing in seconds. For businesses focused on promotional products and custom drinkware, this bottle UV printer is the ultimate all‑in‑one solution.

5. 6040 UV Printer – Medium Format for Growing Shops

The 6040 UV printer offers an intermediate print area of approximately 24″ x 16″, bridging the gap between A3 and the large‑format 6090. It supports multiple printhead options (XP600 or I3200) and includes white ink circulation and an optional cylinder stand. Maximum material height reaches up to 12 inches (300 mm), allowing thicker objects than smaller models. Because official IEHK product pages have limited information on the 6040, it is best to contact IEHK directly for accurate specifications and pricing.

6. 6090 UV Flatbed Printer – The Large Format UV Printer for Industrial Production

The 6090 UV flatbed printer is IEHK’s flagship large‑format model, featuring a massive 36″ x 24″ (A1) print area and dual Epson XP600 printheads. This large format UV printer can handle oversized signage, large acrylic panels, furniture components, and industrial parts. It supports multiple pass modes (4, 6, 8, 12 passes) to balance speed and quality. The LED UV lamp has a long lifespan of 25,000–30,000 hours. At $2,800, this large format UV printer delivers industrial‑grade performance at an affordable price.

IEHK UV Printers vs. Traditional Printing Methods

Compared to traditional screen printing, IEHK UV printers require no screen setup, no color separation fees, and no minimum order quantities. Screen printing is economical for thousands of identical pieces but becomes expensive and slow for short runs or multi‑color designs. UV printing, in contrast, goes directly from digital file to finished product – saving time and money on every order.

Compared to DTG (Direct‑to‑Garment) printing, UV printers work on a much wider range of materials – not just cotton, but also metal, glass, acrylic, wood, ceramic, and plastic. The UV‑cured ink is highly scratch‑resistant, waterproof, and fade‑resistant, making it ideal for products that see frequent handling or outdoor use.

The UV DTF capability further extends versatility: print on PET film and transfer the design to any surface, including curved or textured items that cannot fit under the print carriage.

2‑in‑1 Versatility: UV Direct + UV DTF on Every IEHK UV Printer

One of the most powerful advantages across the entire IEHK UV printer lineup is the 2‑in‑1 functionality that combines UV direct printing and UV DTF (Direct‑to‑Film) transfer printing in a single machine. Every model – from the compact A4 UV printer to the industrial 6090 UV flatbed printer – includes this dual capability, allowing you to expand your product offerings without purchasing separate equipment.

In UV direct printing mode, ink is jetted directly onto rigid or semi‑rigid materials such as acrylic, glass, metal, wood, ceramic, PVC, and aluminum. The UV‑LED lamp instantly cures the ink, resulting in scratch‑resistant, waterproof, and fade‑proof prints. This mode is ideal for flat or slightly curved items like phone cases, signs, nameplates, and home décor pieces.

In UV DTF mode, you print your design onto a special PET film, apply a transfer adhesive, and then press it onto virtually any surface – even those that cannot fit under the print carriage, such as curved bottles, textured surfaces, fabrics, and irregular objects. This mode is perfect for cylindrical items, leather goods, textiles, and unconventional materials that are not compatible with direct UV printing.

Having both UV direct and UV DTF in one printer means you never have to turn down an order. You can print directly on a wooden photo block in direct mode, then switch to DTF mode to create a transfer for a polyester sports jersey or a ceramic mug – all on the same machine. This 2‑in‑1 versatility saves thousands of dollars compared to buying separate dedicated printers, maximizes your return on investment, and unlocks countless revenue streams for your custom products business.
