Hybrid UV printer · Flatbed and roll-to-roll · 8-channel CMYK + W + V · UV LED curing
The MT-UV2000HR is a hybrid UV printer that combines flatbed and roll-to-roll printing in a single machine — print rigid substrates one moment and flexible roll media the next, without changing equipment. 3P Machinery supplies and supports the MT-UV2000HR across the UK as MTuTech’s official UK distributor, with installation, operator training, lifetime technical support, and genuine spare parts held in our UK warehouse.
A pure flatbed UV printer can’t run roll-fed media. A pure roll printer can’t print on rigid substrates. The MT-UV2000HR does both — saving the floor space, capital, and operator overhead of running two separate machines.
Rigid substrates the MT-UV2000HR prints on:
Flexible and roll media:
If you’re running short-run promotional work, signage, point-of-sale displays, packaging prototypes, industrial labels, or bespoke décor, the MT-UV2000HR handles the substrate range without compromise.

The MT-UV2000HR is a 2-metre hybrid UV printer combining flatbed and roll-to-roll capability in a single industrial machine — supplied and supported across the United Kingdom by 3P Machinery as MTuTech’s official UK distributor. Built around Ricoh’s industry-standard Gen 6 industrial printheads (MH5320 / MH5340 series), the MT-UV2000HR jets variable greyscale droplets at up to 50 kHz across 1,280 nozzles per head, delivering print speeds from 10 to 170 m²/h on rigid substrates up to 80 mm thick and flexible media up to 2 metres wide. CMYK plus White and Varnish printing handles dark, transparent, and reflective substrates; integrated Visual Positioning Technology uses a camera to identify and position small or irregularly-shaped items automatically — eliminating the need for jigs or fixtures.
At the heart of the MT-UV2000HR hybrid UV printer is a combination of features rarely found in a single industrial machine. Ricoh Gen 6 industrial printheads — 1,280 nozzles per head, jetting variable greyscale droplets at up to 50 kHz — drive print speeds from 10 to 170 m²/h with the precision Ricoh’s stainless-steel-housed heads are known for. Visual Positioning Technology uses an integrated camera to recognise small and irregularly-shaped items, eliminating the need for jigs or fixtures. CMYK plus White and Varnish printing handles dark, transparent, and reflective substrates in a single pass. MT White Ink Stir Technology, bidirectional UV LED curing, anti-collision protection, and an on-board control module deliver the production-ready engineering that justifies investment in an industrial UV printer.
The MT-UV2000HR isn’t a hybrid UV printer with one or two interesting features — it’s an industrial machine where every system has been engineered to remove a known production bottleneck. These are the ten features that distinguish it from the field, verified against Ricoh’s published specifications and MTuTech’s engineering documentation.
The MT-UV2000HR is configured with Ricoh Gen 6 industrial printheads (MH5320/MH5340 series) — 1,280 nozzles per head, jetting variable-greyscale droplets from 5 to 15 picolitres at frequencies up to 50 kHz. Combined with MTuTech’s UV LED-curable inks and a precision colour management module supporting spot-colour mapping and neutral grey reproduction, the output is sharp text, smooth gradients, and brand-faithful colour across the full substrate range.
An integrated camera identifies the location and orientation of items on the print bed automatically, eliminating positioning fixtures and alignment jigs. Drop bottle caps, vape pens, USB sticks, badges, phone cases, cosmetic packaging, or any irregularly-shaped product onto the bed in any arrangement; the Visual Positioning Technology maps each item and prints in the correct location and orientation — solving the small-item production bottleneck that fixture-based UV printers can’t.
For thin substrates where conventional belt feeds leave roller marks — PVC film, wallpaper stock, advertising cloth — the MT-UV2000HR’s belt conveying control system maintains trace-free printing across the full 2-metre media width. The result is consistent, mark-free output on the flexible materials that other industrial UV printers struggle with.
The MT-UV2000HR uses variable dot printing — smaller droplets for fine gradations and tonal transitions, larger droplets for fast solid fills, jetted within a single print pass. Driven by Ricoh Gen 6’s 5–15 pl greyscale capability, the output reaches up to 1,200 DPI effective resolution and 720 × 2,400 DPI in highest-quality mode, producing sharper text and smoother gradients than fixed-drop UV printers.
Different inks have different specific gravities and viscosities, and treating them all with the same firing waveform compromises quality on some channels. The MT-UV2000HR’s Waveform Control technology adjusts the printhead firing pattern individually for each colour — CMYK, white, and varnish — ensuring consistent drop placement and density across the full ink set, not averaged settings.
White ink pigment settles when left static, causing colour inconsistency, banding, and printhead blockages — the single most common cause of white-channel failures on industrial UV printers. The MT-UV2000HR’s continuous MT White Ink Stir Technology keeps white ink uniformly mixed, delivering consistent opacity from the first print to the last and protecting Ricoh Gen 6 printheads from costly clogs.
The MT-UV2000HR’s feeding and take-up system adjusts roll tension automatically based on substrate thickness, keeping flexible media stable through long roll-to-roll runs without operator intervention. Even tension across the roll means consistent registration, no skewing, and reliable production on vinyl, banner, mesh, canvas, and reflective media — for shifts at a time, unattended.
UV LED lamps mounted either side of the carriage cure ink on both left and right passes — so every carriage movement is productive and the MT-UV2000HR never slows to wait for ink to set. UV LED curing also runs cooler than mercury-arc systems, extending lamp life from hundreds of hours to tens of thousands and allowing the printer to handle heat-sensitive substrates that would warp on conventional UV equipment.
Operator safety is built into the MT-UV2000HR, with emergency stop switches positioned on both sides of the machine for immediate access from any working position. Anti-collision sensors halt the carriage if it encounters an unexpected obstacle, protecting the Ricoh Gen 6 printheads from impact damage. The result is a machine specified for the safety standards UK industrial production environments expect.
The MT-UV2000HR’s on-board control module lets operators adjust ink, media, and white-ink workflow settings on the fly for each ripped file — and save those configurations as profiles for repeat jobs. Repeat orders run without re-ripping; new operators ramp up faster on familiar profiles; and production consistency across shifts improves measurably.
These ten features come together in a single 2-metre hybrid UV printer — the MT-UV2000HR. Supplied across the UK by 3P Machinery as MTuTech’s official UK distributor, with installation, training, and lifetime support included. Request a quote for your production specification.
