CET Linear Flatbed Series Printers
Speed Meets Precision in Every Print
CET Color’s Linear Flatbed Series redefines wide format printing by combining best-in-class speed, unparalleled image fidelity, and field-upgradeable flexibility. Powered by a magnetic linear motor drive system and equipped with your choice of Ricoh Gen6 or Kyocera industrial-grade printheads, these flatbed printers deliver exceptional performance across rigid and roll substrates, making them the top choice for commercial print shops demanding consistent output, precise drop placement, and high throughput.
Whether you’re producing high-end retail signage, backlit displays, industrial graphics, or fine art prints, CET’s Linear Series flatbeds provide the muscle and finesse to meet your most complex challenges.
Why Choose CET Linear Flatbed Printers?
Unmatched Drive System:
At the core of every Linear Series printer is CET’s magnetic linear motor drive system, offering smoother, faster carriage movement at speeds up to 5 feet per second. This design minimizes mechanical wear and ensures quieter operation, tighter registration, and reduced maintenance over time.
Field-Upgradeable Flexibility:
Start with 2 printheads and scale up to 9 with Ricoh or up to 10 with Kyocera, all without replacing your machine. This modular approach protects your investment while giving you room to grow as your volume demands increase.
Uncompromising Precision:
Featuring resolutions up to 1200 x 1200 dpi with variable drop sizes down to 4 picoliters, CET Linear printers offer smooth gradients, fine details, and vibrant color fidelity, even at production speeds.
Media Versatility:
Supports substrates up to 4 inches thick, including acrylic, Coroplast, PVC, foam board, wood, glass, and aluminum. Whether rigid or roll-fed, these printers offer media pin registration, retractable alignment bars, and reversible vacuum zones to ensure consistency from start to finish.
White & Varnish Functionality:
Simultaneous printing with white, color, and varnish enables layered and spot gloss effects for premium applications. Standalone white ink control on the Q6 Linear increases white ink productivity, ideal for backlit or non-white substrates.
