Don’t Just Print Things. Make Things.
With the BD Series, designs can be printed onto a wide variety of materials, including plastics, paper, leather and wood — even glass and metal with the onboard primer ink.
UV DTF with the BD Series
With the BD Series, you can produce UV DTF decals for transferring intricate designs onto a variety of surfaces* and shapes with no weeding required, such as plastics, metal, wood, acrylic, glass and more. The BD Series delivers vibrant, detailed prints every time, ideal for putting photos, text and logos onto products like personalized technology, fashion accessories, event merchandise and more.
* Testing is recommended for each material that graphics will be applied to. Items with graphic transfers should be washed by hand, as machine washing is known to reduce adhesion.
Professional Print Quality Meets Ease of Use
Anyone can easily achieve professional-grade results with the BD Series. The printer supports True Rich Color, a print setting that helps optimize color vibrancy and accuracy, and has a variety of print modes with built-in setting information for specific applications, ensuring optimal results on smooth, curved and uneven surfaces. No print expertise needed: BD Series settings are optimized for consistent, high-quality results, even on curved or uneven surfaces.
Print Vibrant Light Colors on Dark Surfaces
Print light colors on dark surfaces with our white ink cartridge. Plus, with the onboard Primer ink, designs can be printed on textures like glass and metal. Offer bold, vibrant designs on any color material, perfect for fashion, tech accessories, and branded goods.
Reproducing Luster, Texture and a Touchable Feel
Using Clear ink produces premium gloss and matte finishes which can be applied in multiple layers for a simulated embossing look and textures that seem amazingly lifelike.
Maximum Performance. Minimum Space.
BD Series printers are powerhouses in a compact frame. They can be placed on a desk, and their front-access media setup, ink loading and maintenance allow for installation against a wall. The BD Series is safe to operate as well, thanks to their full-cover design for UV light protection, GREENGUARD Gold certified inks and built-in fume extractor.
Starter Pricing. Designed for Growth.
With the BD Series, you get professional-grade print performance at an entry-level price, designed to suit the budgets of start-ups and small, growing businesses. The printers also come with a built-in fume extractor, so there’s no need to purchase a separate, costly air filtration unit. Users will also appreciate the included, simple-to-install design and output software.
Print on Round Surfaces with an Optional Rotary Accessory
The BD Series makes it possible to print fully around cylindrical and curved objects up to 2 inches in diameter, such as pens, jars and small bottles, with the optional rotary printing accessory.
Optional Rotary Rack:
BD-8: $1,318.99
BD-12: $1,575
Printer Maintenance Made Easy
BD Series printers are equipped with innovative features that make it easy to keep your printer healthy and performing at the highest possible level, including an automatic cleaning function that cleans the surface of the printhead to remove impurities and debris. They also come ready for use immediately after installation and our customer service team is always just a click or call away.
GREENGUARD Gold Certified ECO-UV 5 (EUV5) Ink
The BD printer’s specially formulated, wide-gamut ECO-UV5 inks image beautifully, dry instantly, and adhere well on a wide variety materials. These high-quality inks have also earned GREENGUARD Gold certification – the world’s most stringent and comprehensive standard for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air.
Included FlexiDesigner VersaSTUDIO Edition Software
