Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flatbed printer devices, and specifically to a UV flatbed printer with a cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] UV flatbed printers, also known as universal flatbed printers or flatbed printers, have broken through the bottlenecks of digital printing technology, achieving true one-page printing, no need for plate making, and full-color image printing in one pass. Compared with traditional printing processes, they have many advantages. Initially designed and manufactured mainly for printing on hard materials, they have broken through the limitation of inkjet technology that can only print on soft materials.

[0003] After printing with a UV flatbed printer, ink residue may remain on the printhead. If the printhead is not cleaned, the residual ink may be printed onto the paper. The printhead is also close to the printer table, making it inconvenient to clean the printer table and affecting the printing quality. Utility Model Content
