UV-LED flatbed printers, digital cutters and the ink that runs them
CMYK Engineering supplies UV printers, digital cutters and UV-LED inks to print shops, sign companies and manufacturers across North America.
Digital cutters
LIPLA UV-Curable Inks
The inks are formulated for UV-LED curing rather than adapted to it, and we convert printers to them ourselves.
- LIPLA HD
- General-use UV ink for flatbed and low-production machines.
- LIPLA KYO
- For Kyocera and Epson super-resolution piezo printheads.
- LIPLA RTR
- For hybrid and high-speed roll-to-roll printers.
- LIPLA Liquids
- Flush, primer and varnish — what a UV machine needs besides the ink.
