Getting to Know Floor Printers and What They Can Do
What Is a Floor Printer and How Does It Run?
A floor printer is a special digital machine that puts sharp pictures straight onto floors. It skips stickers or overlays. Instead it shoots UV-curable ink right onto the surface and hardens it with a built-in lamp.
Everything is controlled from the computer. You start in Photoshop, switch the file to CMYK, then send it through UltraPrint to make it printable. Last step is loading it into BetterPrinter and hitting go.
Our machines use laser guides and ultrasonic sensors to keep the print head at the perfect height even on bumpy floors. Our floor printers use laser positioning and printheads’ electric lifting. That means clean, straight prints every time.
What Floors Can You Print On?
We use a very durable UV ink that cures instantly under the integrated UV curing lamp and can be used on almost all material surfaces. So plaster, wallpaper, wood, brick, latex paint, stone, clinker, plastic, metal, glass, most tiles and many other materials can be printed without any problems.
Just clean and level the floor first so the ink sticks well. Outside, the UV ink stands up to sun and rain. UV inks make prints waterproof, fade-resistant and durable and can last outdoor 3-5 years and indoor 8-10 years.
Why Floor Printing Gives You Total Freedom
How Does It Open Up New Design Ideas?
You can print anything: realistic photos, wild patterns, even 3D/5D visual relief textures that pop off the floor, which are hard to achieve by hand.
Stores slap logos and arrows right on the ground. Homeowners make fake rugs or crazy illusions. No peeling stickers, no fading decals. Our five-color UV ink creates vibrant images, dries within seconds and is waterproof and sun-resistant.
Where It Shines in Real Life
Shops use it for promos and way-finding. Trade-show booths get branded floors that grab eyes. Hotels and show homes lay down fancy patterns that scream style. Even schools and museums print learning paths kids can walk on. UV ink is UV-resistant and wear-resistant and can maintain its color even outdoors.
What Makes a Good Floor Printer
Key Specs You Should Care About
- Resolution: Higher DPI values (dots per inch) yield sharper images. Our Epson I1600 heads hit 2880 DPI and last 4000 m².
- Speed: Print speed affects turnaround time for large projects. Ours run 6–14 m² per hour.
- Ink: UV ink is a solvent-free ink that does not contain a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like traditional solvent-based inks, so it is less harmful to air pollution and human health.Our CMYK + White UV ink, low smell, instant cure, eco-friendly.
Easy to Move and Easy to Run
Lightweight wheels let you roll it anywhere. Software does most of the work: auto height, laser cross for perfect placement, menus in six languages. The printing software now supports English, Russian, German, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
