512i Solvent
Raise your production capabilities with Lotus UV Printer's 512i Solvent Series. Equipped with next-gen Konica Minolta 512i printheads, these machines achieve impressive speeds of up to 1200 sq ft per hour without sacrificing print quality. Engineered with THK linear guides, Lotus Drives, and UMC Electronics, they are built for 24/7 operation. Available in both positive and negative pressure configurations and trusted by over 2000 installations worldwide, this series is the ultimate workhorse for high-speed solvent printing.
The 512i represents a quantum leap in printhead technology, delivering 50% more firing frequency than its predecessor while maintaining the reliability that made the 512 series legendary. This translates directly to production throughput—jobs that previously required overnight runs can now complete before lunch. The advanced flow-through design prevents air bubble accumulation, a common failure point in competitive systems, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during the longest production shifts.
Whether configured for positive pressure to handle challenging media or negative pressure for maximum dot placement precision, the 512i adapts to your specific production requirements. With over 2000 installations validating its design, this is the printer that defines the term "workhorse" in digital wide-format printing. When your business depends on meeting impossible deadlines, the 512i Solvent Series delivers the performance edge you need.
