I. Representative who imported directly from China  _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

I received a text message from an unknown number asking if I could inquire about ink and the head. When I called back, they said they imported the printer directly from China.

They asked if I could ask a few questions, and after a brief conversation, they visited today.

 

Imported model

• The print size is 600 x 900.
• It uses two XP600 print heads, one for CMYK WW, and the other for all six channels, Varnish.
• The RIP software is Chin RIP.
• It does not print AI files, only Photoshop files.

 

This means using a single print head for CMYK WW.

• When printing white simultaneously, the print head is split in half.
• When printing white, half of the two channels are used.
• When printing CMYK and color, half of the first four channels are used.
• This means that since the print head is split in half, the print speed is reduced by half.

 

This means using only two channels for white.

• White is used to mask the color of colored materials, or to provide a white background when printing transparent materials to enhance the color.
• For large-scale equipment, the heads are expensive, so one or even two white heads are used at maximum capacity.
• Even when two heads are used for white printing, the problem of low white density arises.
• When printing on black materials, white is sometimes printed separately to mask the black.
• When printing on transparent materials, complaints about the white density are often heard.
• Furthermore, because two heads are used for white, if the white nozzles spray diagonally or some nozzles become clogged, streaks appear in the white print.
• Thus, using only two channels for white has several drawbacks.

 

White has two channels, while Varnish has six.

• White and Color are the primary channels used in UV printers. Varnish is not used frequently.
• Assigning six channels to Varnish, which is so infrequently used, is excessive.
• Even with UV DTF, White needs to be thicker than Varnish to produce UV DTF products effectively.
• Therefore, there should be more White channels than Varnish.

 

This means it only supports China Rip software and Photoshop files.

• China Rip is Rip software provided by a Chinese board company with its printer software.
• I briefly used it to verify the equipment, but it wasn’t easy to use.
• I understand that only the ICC profiles provided by the manufacturer for color matching are available.
• The biggest drawback is that it only supports Photoshop files, not AI files.

II. Considerations when importing directly from China _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

1. Price _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

Purchasing directly through Ali means you can purchase a UV printer at a much lower price than purchasing from a Korean dealer.

While not all direct importers are like this, some prioritize price when importing directly from China.

For consumables, you can try the cheapest option, and if you don’t like it, you can discard it.

However, equipment represents a significant investment, so if something goes wrong, you can’t just throw it away, and you’ll lose the full amount.

Even I, who has worked for a UV printer manufacturer for over 15 years, was new to laser cutting, so I imported the most expensive equipment through a Chinese partner.

• The company that exports the most is the one with an anxious mind.
• That company’s product was the most expensive, but it was imported

When importing UV printers through Alibaba, it is best to exclude price from your priority list.

 

2. Product specifications _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

The basic things to check are:

• What head is being used?
• How many heads are being used?
• Are there enough white heads or channels?
• Does the speed decrease when printing white simultaneously?

UV printer specifications can’t be easily understood from brochures or promotional materials alone.

Therefore, you’ll have to focus on the factors listed above and make your own decision.

For your information, many people prefer the bottle option. I recommend first reviewing how the bottle Jig option works before making your purchase decision.

 

3. Rip software _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

알리바바에 전시된 프린터 대부분 중국에서 개발 된 호손 Rip software가 기본적으로 포함된 가격입니다. 

Rip software는 정말 중요합니다.

색상과, 지원되는 file 형식이 모두 여기서 결정됩니다.

저렴하면서 global rip인 Sai rip software가 지원 가능한지 문의하셔야 합니다. 

Sai rip이 가용하다면, 제조사 혹은 판매사가 수출을 염두하고 만든 모델입니다. 

하지만, 중국에서 개발한 rip만 가용하다면, 중국 내수용으로 만들 제품이기에, 이런 제품은 선택하지 않는 게 안전합니다.

Sai rip을 선택하면, 가격이 올라가겠지만, 중국에서 기본으로 제공되는 Rip보다는 Sai rip을 선택하셔야 합니다.

 

4. Whether it is a manufacturer or a simple trading company _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

There are countless manufacturers in China, each with a different model.

• Some manufacturers develop and manufacture UV printers themselves,
• some purchase boards, software, and other components from the market and assemble them,
• and some are simply trading companies that purchase large quantities of models from manufacturers and sell them under their own brand.

Unless you visit a company in person, you don’t know what type of company it is.

Even my Chinese friends, when purchasing a new product, first check whether it’s a trading company or a manufacturer.

If it looks like the same model but the price is set low, it’s likely a model sold by a trading company.

Since the selling price was set without considering after-sales service costs, it could be problematic if an after-sales service issue arises.

5. An AS employee you can’t rely on _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

If you purchased through a trading company, the seller may not be familiar with the equipment, making it difficult to receive proper after-sales service.

Even if you purchased from the manufacturer, it’s unlikely that the assigned after-sales service representative will be able to provide the best after-sales service to numerous customers.

Therefore, purchasing equipment through a dealer in that country is the safest option.

However, if you must import and use the equipment yourself, despite these risks, it’s best to prepare for any future after-sales service issues yourself.

• Ask for the manual first and check its quality.
• Is there a YouTube video manual?

At the very least, check whether a video manual is available before making a purchase decision.

 

III. Representative who purchased an A3 UV printer directly _Direct Purchase of UV Printers from China

He said he placed an order for UV DTF printing and only later purchased an A3 printer.

He had various comments after seeing the UV DTF sample.

 

“Actually, I bought an A3 UV printer on AliExpress.”

“Sir, when did you buy it?”

“It’s been about three months, and I’ve already spent 1 million won fixing it. I was so stressed out at one point, I even felt nauseous. I have a laser cutter and a lot of other equipment, but I bought it with the thought of ‘let’s learn it,’ but it’s really difficult.”

“Sometimes, people who are good at using cutters and other equipment see UV printers as easy to use and import them directly, but UV printers require ink and have a head, so it’s more difficult.”

“I was just thinking about giving it a try, but it’s so difficult.”

“Even we, who have been making UV printers for 20 years, are too scared to buy through AliExpress. Are they a real manufacturer? Or just a trading company? And… we don’t know what problems might arise.”

 

This was a while ago, so I’m not sure how you’re using it now.

As you mentioned, I also tested the Vasco Cut and AOL sheet cutters, and thought the post-processing equipment was relatively easy to use.

But it didn’t reach a sales level, so I gave up on selling it after testing.

With patience and learning, you’ll get used to the products you import directly, but that time and effort is also a cost.

The company might eventually go out of business, or the model might be discontinued.

I think it’s less daunting to consider various factors before importing directly from China.
