It uses Flexible UV Ink that cures instantly under Dual Water Cooling LED UV lamps, enabling printing on a wide range of flexible media including banner, coated PP, vinyl, backlit textiles, PVC film, and PET film. With 3 to 4 Epson I3200 U1 printheads (UV-specific variant), Piezo Variable Dot (Greyscale) technology, and a configurable multi-layer printing architecture, the AQ1800UV delivers standard single-pass color printing through to 5-layer CWKWC applications \u2014 including white ink, varnish, and Day &amp; Night backlit effects. The unique Water-Cooling Platen prevents substrate deformation on heat-sensitive materials, and the Anti-Collision Unit protects the printheads.<\/div>\n<div class=\"overview-actions\"><button class=\"btn_c btn-primary_c getaquotelink\">Get a Quote<\/button><br \/>\n<a class=\"btn_c btn-secondary_c\" href=\"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Thunderjet-AQ1800-UV-Datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Datasheet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14399,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[57],"product_cat":[44,124],"product_tag":[88],"class_list":{"0":"post-5708","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-gongzheng","7":"product_cat-printers","8":"product_cat-uv-printers","9":"product_tag-uv-printer","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"virtual","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5708"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5708"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightwithin.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
