Hybrid Printing Machine
Lotus UV Printer's Hybrid series delivers the ultimate flexibility: two powerful printing platforms in a single footprint. Seamlessly switch between flatbed printing on rigid boards and roll-to-roll production on flexible media—without changing machines or interrupting workflow. Powered by Ricoh Gen5/Gen6 or Epson i3200 printheads and engineered with THK linear technology, our hybrid systems offer customized solutions tailored to your specific size, speed, and quality requirements.
The hybrid configuration represents the smartest investment for growing print businesses. When you can accept both rigid and roll jobs without dedicating floor space to two machines, your capacity utilization soars. Morning flatbed acrylic displays transition to afternoon vinyl banners with a simple media change. The same printheads, same operator, same color management—just different substrates. This versatility transforms how you respond to customer requests, eliminating the "we can't do that" conversations that limit growth.
Whether you're printing ACP panels or vinyl banners, Lotus Hybrid UV printers deliver world-class results with the versatility to take on any job that comes through your door. With dual-mode capability engineered into every system, you're not just buying a printer—you're buying the ability to say "yes" to more opportunities.
