What is the LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE?

The LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE is a professional tabletop UV flatbed printer with an 18" × 24" printable area designed for direct-to-object and direct-to-substrate printing. Its compact footprint, industrial components, four Ricoh print heads, customizable ink configuration, custom tray capabilities, and rotary tray option printing make it well suited for businesses producing promotional products, golf balls, awards, drinkware, personalized products, signage, packaging
components, and other specialty printed products.

What can you print with an 18" × 24" UV printer?

An 18" × 24" UV printer can accommodate both individual larger products and multiple smaller products arranged across the print bed. The UVx40R PLUS-SE can print directly on compatible materials including acrylic, plastics, coated metals, glass, ceramics, wood, MDF, leather, stone, slate, rubber, signage materials, golf balls, promotional products, awards, personalized gifts, packaging components, and many other rigid or dimensional products.

This makes the 18" × 24" format especially useful for businesses that need versatility without dedicating floor space to a large-format flatbed printer.

What is the best 18" × 24" UV printer for promotional products?

For businesses producing promotional products, an important consideration is not only print-bed size but how efficiently the printer can handle repeat production. The LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE combines an 18" × 24" printable area with interchangeable custom production trays that can position multiple products on the bed at once.

LogoJET can engineer custom trays around specific products and workflows to maximize the number of items printed per cycle, improve registration, simplify loading, and create a repeatable production process. This is especially valuable for products such as golf balls, pens, keychains, promotional items, awards, tags, accessories, and personalized merchandise.

Can the UVx40R PLUS-SE print multiple products at the same time?

Yes. Multiple products can be positioned across the 18" × 24" print area and printed during the same production run. For repeat jobs, LogoJET can design custom trays that hold multiple products in predetermined positions.

Instead of manually positioning every item for every print cycle, an operator can load products into the tray or multi-mat, position the tray using the printer's tray rail system, and run a saved print workflow. This can improve registration,
repeatability, operator efficiency, and overall production throughput.

How do custom trays increase UV printing production?

Custom trays turn the print bed into a repeatable production workflow. LogoJET designs trays around the dimensions, shape, quantity, orientation, and production requirements of the products being printed.

A properly designed tray can maximize the number of products placed within the 18" × 24" printable area while maintaining consistent positioning. This is particularly useful for businesses producing recurring orders or high quantities of smaller products because operators spend less time measuring and manually positioning individual items.

Is the LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE good for printing golf balls?

Yes. The LogoJET R-Series is particularly well suited for direct-to-object golf ball printing. The UVx40R PLUS-SE's 18" × 24" print area can be paired with production trays designed to hold multiple golf balls in precise positions, allowing businesses to produce personalized and branded golf balls efficiently.

White golf balls can be printed with color, while colored golf balls can use white ink beneath the color layer for stronger color reproduction. Clear gloss can also be incorporated into applicable workflows for additional print effects and abrasion resistance.

Can the UVx40R PLUS-SE print promotional products?

Yes. Promotional products are one of the primary applications for the UVx40R PLUS-SE. Businesses can print directly onto compatible pens, keychains, tags, coasters, drinkware, golf products, awards, plaques, electronic accessories, gift items, packaging components, and many other promotional products.

Because the printer supports custom production trays, businesses can also develop workflows around the specific products they sell most frequently instead of limiting production to generic flat substrates.

Is an 18" × 24" UV printer big enough for production?

For many promotional product, personalization, awards, golf, gifting, packaging, and specialty-printing businesses, an 18" × 24" print area provides a strong balance between production capacity and equipment footprint.

The UVx40R PLUS-SE can accommodate individual products up to 18" × 24" within the printable area or batch multiple smaller products across the bed. Custom trays can further maximize usable bed space for repeat-production applications.

Businesses requiring substantially larger individual substrates or greater batch capacity may benefit from moving to a larger-format UV flatbed printer.

Is the UVx40R PLUS-SE a tabletop UV printer?

Yes. The UVx40R PLUS-SE is a tabletop UV printer designed to provide professional direct-to-object production capability in a more compact footprint than larger freestanding flatbed systems.

The printer itself measures approximately 49.5" L × 35" W × 28.5" H, making it an attractive option for businesses where production space is limited but an entry-level desktop printer does not provide enough print area or production capability.

Is the UVx40R PLUS-SE good for small spaces?

Yes. The UVx40R PLUS-SE is designed for businesses that want professional UV printing capability while conserving floor space. Its tabletop configuration provides an 18" × 24" printable area without requiring the footprint of a larger-format flatbed printer.

This makes it suitable for promotional product businesses, personalization shops, awards businesses, print shops, retail production environments, and growing businesses where space efficiency matters.

How thick of an object can the UVx40R PLUS-SE print on?

The UVx40R PLUS-SE can accommodate compatible products up to 5 inches high. An automatic product height sensor helps position the product at the appropriate printing distance.

This allows businesses to print on more than flat sheets and signs, expanding production into dimensional products, awards, promotional products, drink ware,
industrial components, personalized gifts, and other direct-to-object applications.

What type of ink does the UVx40R PLUS-SE use?

The UVx40R PLUS-SE uses LogoJET H2 UV-curable inks. The inks are formulated to provide strong adhesion, a broad color gamut, durability, and flexibility across a wide variety of compatible rigid and dimensional substrates.

UV-LED technology cures the ink during printing, allowing printed products to move quickly into the next stage of production.

Are LogoJET UV inks durable?

LogoJET H2 UV-curable inks are engineered for durable direct-to-substrate and direct-to-object applications. They provide strong adhesion, vibrant color, and flexibility across many compatible materials.

Because durability requirements vary significantly by product, substrate, handling, environment, and intended use, LogoJET can also test customer products and recommend the appropriate printing workflow before production.

Can the UVx40R PLUS-SE print white ink and clear gloss?

Yes. The UVx40R PLUS-SE has eight customizable ink channels. Its standard configuration includes CMYK, two White channels, and two Clear Gloss channels.

White ink enables printing on dark, colored, and transparent substrates, while clear gloss can be used to create specialty finishes, dimensional effects, selective gloss, and additional visual or functional effects depending on the application.

A Dual CMYK configuration is also available for businesses primarily printing on white or light-colored products and prioritizing increased print speed.

Can the UVx40R PLUS-SE print cylindrical products?

Yes. The UVx40R PLUS-SE supports and includes a 360° rotary attachment
for printing around compatible cylindrical and tapered objects.

This expands the printer beyond flat products and gives businesses additional opportunities for personalized and promotional product applications.

Does the UVx40R PLUS-SE have a vacuum bed?

Yes. The UVx40R PLUS-SE includes a built-in vacuum bed to help hold lightweight, flat substrates securely during printing. A multi-use sticky mat can also be used for material handling depending on the application.

For dimensional products and repeat production, custom trays provide another method of securely positioning products.

What is the difference between a UV flatbed printer and a direct-to-object printer?

A UV flatbed printer and a direct-to-object UV printer often use the same core UV printing technology, but the terms describe different aspects of the printing process. “Flatbed” refers primarily to the printer's physical design, such as a stationary, flat print bed where substrates or products are positioned for printing. “Direct-to-object” describes the ability to print directly onto finished or dimensional products rather than only onto traditional flat sheets or media.

Traditional flatbed applications can include materials such as acrylic, wood, plastics, coated metals, glass, signage materials, panels, packaging components, and other flat substrates. Direct-to-object printing expands the same technology into dimensional and finished products, including promotional products, awards, golf balls, personalized gifts, electronics and accessories, industrial components, packaging, and other three-dimensional items.

The LogoJET UVx40R PLUS-SE combines UV flatbed and direct-to-object capabilities in one compact 18" × 24" production platform. Businesses can print a single flat substrate, position multiple individual products across the bed, or use LogoJET custom trays designed to maximize the number of products that can be produced within the available print area.

With up to 5 inches of product-height clearance, the UVx40R PLUS-SE can accommodate many dimensional products that would not be possible with a printer designed primarily for thin sheet media.

Why are custom fixtures and trays important for direct-to-object UV printing?

Fixtures and trays help hold products in consistent positions so artwork aligns correctly from one production cycle to the next. They become increasingly important when printing multiple products simultaneously or producing the same item repeatedly.

LogoJET's custom tray workflow considers product shape, dimensions, orientation, production quantity, material, and operator workflow. The goal is not simply to hold the product—it is to create a repeatable production system around it.

Can LogoJET create a custom printing workflow for my product?

Yes. LogoJET can evaluate the product, substrate, desired print area, production volume, positioning requirements, ink requirements, and workflow to determine how it can be produced efficiently.

Custom trays can then be engineered around specific products, and print templates can be created for repeat jobs. This allows businesses to build repeatable workflows around their actual products rather than adapting their production to a generic fixture.

Can I test my products before buying a UV printer?

Yes. LogoJET offers product testing so businesses can evaluate how their actual products and substrates perform with UV printing before selecting a printer or production workflow.

Testing is particularly useful when evaluating unusual materials, adhesion requirements, custom trays, specialty ink effects, or a new product that will become part of a repeat-production workflow.

What businesses are a good fit for the UVx40R PLUS-SE?

The UVx40R PLUS-SE is a strong fit for businesses that need professional direct-to-object printing capacity in a compact format, including promotional product companies, awards and recognition businesses, personalization companies, golf-related businesses, gift manufacturers, packaging businesses, print shops, sign businesses, colleges & universities, and companies bringing outsourced customization in-house.

It is especially useful when a business produces repeat orders of smaller products that can be batched efficiently across an 18" × 24" print bed using custom trays.

How do I know if an 18" × 24" UV printer is the right size for my business?

Start with the products you plan to print rather than the printer dimensions alone. Consider the dimensions of your largest product, how many products you want to print per production cycle, expected order volume, available production space, and whether custom trays can increase the number of products produced per bed.

For businesses primarily producing promotional products, golf balls, awards, personalized products, gifts, packaging components, and other small-to-medium-sized objects, an 18" × 24" production area can provide significant versatility while maintaining a compact equipment footprint.
