OMTech Spectra A3+ Flatbed UV Printer, Dual Printhead - PUA-2401-US

OMTech Spectra A3+ Dual-Head Flatbed UV Printer with 13.8" x 17.7" Print Area, CMYKWW + Varnish, 720 x 1440 DPI, One-Click Gloss, 5 mm 3D Embossing, and OMTech Print Software

The OMTech Spectra A3+ Dual-Head Flatbed UV Printer is built for personalization businesses, print shops, laser businesses, sign and award makers, schools, studios, and growing production teams that want full-color, white-ink, varnish, gloss, and raised-texture printing in one compact platform. Its expanded 13.8" × 17.7" printing area provides more usable space than a standard A3 bed, while the 5.5" media-height capacity supports a wide range of flat products, assembled blanks, and jigs.

The dual-head configuration uses two Epson F1080 printheads with CMYKWW + V ink channels. It supports up to 720 × 1440 DPI, output up to 2.4 m²/h, printhead movement up to 400 mm/s, localized gloss coating, glossy finishes, and layered 3D embossing effects up to 5 mm. A honeycomb aluminum vacuum table, IR automatic height sensing, automatic ink supply, one-click ink filling, low-ink alerts, white-ink circulation, and two air-cooled 100 W UV lamps help streamline production.

OMTech Print simplifies white and gloss channel generation through automatic layer mapping and supports 3D texture preparation and front-and-back printing workflows. A 12-hour automatic cleaning cycle, moisturizing-fluid injection during idle periods, an open ink platform, low-VOC UV ink, activated-carbon air purification, and compatibility with more than 300 materials support reliable day-to-day operation across signs, gifts, awards, packaging, décor, promotional products, and laser-cut items.

Key Features:

• Dual-Head CMYKWW + Varnish Printing: Two Epson F1080 printheads support full-color, white-ink, and varnish workflows for layered production and premium finishing.
• Expanded A3+ Production Area: A 13.8" x 17.7" (350 x 450 mm) print area creates more project space than a standard A3 platform.
• High-Detail Output: Up to 720 × 1440 DPI, 4.5 pL minimum droplets, 1080 nozzles per printhead, and a 46 kHz firing frequency support detailed text, graphics, and photographic designs.
• 99% True-Color Reproduction: Produce vibrant, accurate-looking color for branded products, artwork, photographs, and detailed graphics.
• One-Click Gloss and Localized Varnish: Apply gloss selectively to logos, text, patterns, and decorative details for a polished professional finish.
• Up to 5 mm 3D Embossing: Build stackable ink layers to create raised lettering, tactile graphics, textured artwork, and dimensional decorative effects.
• Faster Production Output: Output up to 2.4 m²/h and printhead movement up to 400 mm/s help reduce turnaround time for short-run and customized orders.
• 5-Inch Media Clearance: Print on flat items up to 5.5 in. (140 mm) high, expanding beyond thin sheets, cards, and panels.
• IR Automatic Height Sensing: Automatically detects material height to help position the printheads at the correct working distance.
• Vacuum Hold-Down Table: A ruled honeycomb aluminum vacuum bed helps keep flat media stable and aligned during printing.
• 12-Hour Automatic Cleaning: A scheduled maintenance cleaning cycle runs every 12 hours to help reduce clogs and routine manual intervention.
• Automatic Moisturizing Protection: Moisturizing-fluid injection helps keep nozzles hydrated while the printer is idle.
• White-Ink Circulation and Agitation: Continuous circulation and agitation help reduce pigment settling and support stable, even white output.
• One-Click Ink Loading and Low-Ink Alerts: Touchscreen-controlled filling, automatic ink supply, and low-ink notification simplify daily operation.
• Auto-Layer Mapping: OMTech Print detects and generates white and gloss channels without requiring manual layer creation.
• Instant 3D Texture Preparation: Convert 2D artwork into layered tactile effects through guided embossing workflows.
• Front-and-Back Workflow Support: Prepare coordinated front-and-back printing effects in a streamlined software workflow.
• Open Ink Platform: No proprietary cartridge lock-in; compatible industrial UV inks can be used while following the required specifications and maintenance procedures.
• Up to 75% Ink-Cost Savings: The open ink workflow can reduce ink costs compared with proprietary cartridge-based systems, depending on ink selection and usage.
• Low-VOC Ink and Air Purification: GREENGUARD Gold-certified low-VOC ink and a built-in fan with a replaceable activated-carbon filter support a cleaner workspace.
• 300+ Compatible Materials: Print on acrylic, plastic, wood, leather, metal, glass, ceramics, canvas, PVC, cardboard, and many other prepared surfaces.
• Laser-to-UV Production Workflow: Combine laser cutting or engraving with UV color, white, varnish, and final assembly to produce complete sale-ready products.
• Rotary Expansion: A planned plug-and-play rotary attachment will support curved and cylindrical items through a dedicated software mode.
• Compact, Connected Platform: Ethernet data transfer, a 4.3" touchscreen, common file-format support, and a compact 30.7" × 22.6" footprint fit small production environments.
• Commercial Compliance: CE, FCC, RoHS, and TUV certifications support professional use in a properly ventilated workspace.

Safety & Operation Notes:

• Operate the printer in a well-ventilated workspace and keep the built-in filtration system maintained.
• Use compatible low-VOC UV ink and varnish and follow the required storage, handling, personal-protective-equipment, and disposal procedures.
• Keep CMYK, white, and varnish ink paths correctly assigned. Do not mix ink types or load varnish into the wrong channel.
• UV printing quality depends on surface preparation, adhesion, ink configuration, curing, environmental conditions, and correct print profiles. Test every material and finish before production.
• Keep the vacuum table clean and flat, verify media clearance, and use IR height sensing before printing on unfamiliar objects.
• Maintain the white-ink circulation system and allow the scheduled cleaning and moisturizing routines to operate as directed.
• Disconnect power before internal service. Printhead maintenance or replacement should follow OMTech technical guidance.
