Harnessing the power of intuitive software, the XJET Switch allows for substrate-specific recipe storage and empowers users to create customized print modes, striking the perfect balance between speed and quality.

Unlike traditional printing methods such as screen printing or heat transfer, UV printing on tote bags offers the advantage of full-color (CMYKWW) graphics and images that are ready for shipping immediately after printing. The XJET Switch’s revolutionary UV printing eliminates the need for additional curing steps, saving valuable time and resources. Additionally, this advanced flatbed UV printer significantly reduces waste compared to alternative methods, enabling customers to embrace a sustainable and eco-friendly printing process.

The XJET Switch paired with XFLEXX UV ink can reproduce vibrant, full-color images on any surface color. Notably, the inclusion of XFLEXX Vivid White sets new benchmarks, with white logos and graphics appearing 30% more opaque than competing inks, rivaling the quality of screen printing.
