DG-2513 Industrial UV Flatbed Printer Products 

A 2513 UV Printer Built for Flexible Production

The DG-2513 is designed for businesses that need to produce different products without investing in a separate printing process for every application.

Its 2500 × 1300 mm working area can accommodate full-size sheets, multiple smaller panels or repeated products positioned in a custom fixture. This makes the printer suitable for one-off samples, customized orders, short production runs and selected repeat-volume work.

Instead of selecting the machine only by maximum speed or printhead brand, the DG-2513 can be configured according to five practical production factors:

  • What material will be printed?
  • Is the surface flat, recessed or raised?
  • Is white ink or varnish required?
  • What level of image detail is expected?
  • What is the required daily or monthly output?

This application-based approach helps avoid paying for unnecessary capacity while reducing the risk of selecting a configuration that cannot meet the intended production requirements.

Replace Multiple Printing Processes with One Configurable Platform

Traditional screen printing remains effective for stable, high-volume orders, but it can become inefficient when artwork, materials or order quantities change frequently.

The DG-2513 gives manufacturers a direct digital printing option for jobs that require more flexibility.

Production Challenge DG-2513 Workflow
Screen preparation increases the cost of short runs Direct digital printing without screens or plates
Different materials require different production routes Configurable ink, primer and surface-treatment workflow
Colors appear weak on dark or transparent materials White ink underbase and multilayer printing
Large sheets can move during carriage travel Vacuum hold-down system with configuration-dependent zones
Raised or recessed surfaces create collision risk Standard and application-specific print-gap configurations
White pigment can settle during standby periods Configuration-dependent white ink agitation and circulation
Buyers are unsure which printhead to select Application-based printhead recommendation
Operators need help after delivery Installation guidance, training and remote troubleshooting

The purpose is not to claim that one machine can print every material without preparation. The purpose is to build a controlled production workflow around the materials, products and quality requirements that matter to your business.

Discuss Your Printing Application

 

Choose the DG-2513 Configuration for Your Application

Different printheads are designed around different droplet, speed, durability and print-gap requirements.

The correct DG-2513 configuration depends on your product rather than the printhead name alone. Dacen reviews the material, product height, desired image quality, ink channels, expected output and operating budget before recommending a configuration.

Configuration Overview

Configuration Recommended Production Direction Main Priority Typical Applications
Epson i3200 Commercial printing and flexible production Fine detail and accessible production capacity Signs, acrylic, packaging samples and decorative panels
Toshiba Configuration Selected dimensional and high-drop applications Greater tolerance for controlled surface variation Molded products, trays, shoes and recessed components
Ricoh G5/G6 Continuous industrial production Industrial operation and balanced output Panels, decoration and industrial product printing
Konica KM1024i Repeat flat-sheet production Productivity on stable flat substrates Sign boards, panels and repeated sheet work

The current printhead model, quantity, ink arrangement, speed and high-drop capability must be confirmed in the final quotation.

 

Why Work with Dacen for Your UV Printing Project

Dacen was established in 2012 and focuses on UV digital printing equipment.

The value of working with a specialized UV printer supplier should come from application evaluation, configuration support and long-term production assistance rather than only the initial machine price.

Application-Based Configuration

Machine recommendations are based on the actual material, product shape, image quality, ink requirement and output target.

This reduces the risk of selecting a machine only because it has a familiar printhead name or a high advertised speed.

Material Sample Testing

Customers can provide material samples, product photos and durability requirements for printability evaluation before ordering.

A sample test can help confirm:

Ink adhesion/Color appearance/White ink opacity/Varnish effect/Surface treatment/Print gap/Fixture requirement

Configurable Machine Platform

The DG-2513 platform supports multiple printhead directions and configuration-dependent ink arrangements.

This gives buyers a way to match the machine to the intended production requirement.

Pre-Shipment Calibration

The selected machine should complete mechanical inspection, printhead calibration and test printing before packing.

A test sample and machine-specific inspection record can provide useful reference information after delivery.

Production Training

Operator guidance covers printing, maintenance and basic troubleshooting so the customer can establish a repeatable daily workflow.

Spare Parts Support

Replacement parts, maintenance components, approved inks and technical documentation support long-term machine operation.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which DG-2513 printhead configuration should I choose?

A: The correct configuration depends on your material, product height, required image quality, daily output and budget.
The Epson i3200 configuration is a practical starting point for fine commercial graphics and flexible production. Toshiba configurations may be considered for selected dimensional or high-drop applications. Ricoh and Konica configurations may be considered for regular industrial or flat-sheet production.
Final selection should be based on confirmed technical data and print testing.

Q: What is the maximum print size?

A: The DG-2513 provides a maximum print area of 2500 × 1300 mm.
This area can be used for one large sheet, multiple smaller panels or repeated products positioned in a fixture.

Q: What materials can the DG-2513 print?

A: The printer can be configured for acrylic, PVC board, wood, coated metal, glass, leather, paperboard, ceramic and selected plastics.
Some materials require cleaning, primer or another surface-treatment process. The actual material should be tested before production settings are confirmed.

Q: Can it print white ink and varnish?

A: Yes. The published Epson configuration lists CMYK, light cyan, light magenta, white and varnish channels.
The final white ink and varnish arrangement depends on the selected printhead quantity and configuration.

Q: Why is white ink needed?

A: White ink improves color visibility when printing on:
Transparent materials
Dark materials
Colored materials
Products requiring selective opaque areas
It can be used as a full underbase, selective layer or part of a multilayer printing sequence.

Q: Does glass require primer?

A: Many glass applications require a compatible primer or surface-treatment process, especially when scratch resistance and long-term adhesion are important.
A material test is recommended because different glass coatings and cleaning residues can produce different results.

Q: Can the DG-2513 print on metal?

A: The machine can print on selected coated and prepared metal surfaces.
Polished metal, stainless steel, aluminum and powder-coated products may require treatment. The required adhesion, abrasion and chemical resistance should be included in the test criteria.

Q: Can it print uneven products?

A: Standard configurations are intended mainly for flat surfaces.
A high-drop configuration can print selected products with controlled surface variation, but the product must remain within the confirmed print-gap and collision limits.
Deep cavities, vertical walls and strongly curved products usually require a different printing process.
What is the maximum media height?
The published Epson i3200 DG-2513A configuration lists a maximum media height of 100 mm.
Media height and printable surface variation are different specifications. A 100 mm-tall product still needs a printable top surface within the permitted print gap.
Other configurations should be confirmed separately.
