The device has a printing and cutting width of 48cm, ideal for textile transfers, stickers, labels and posters.

The built-in LED lamps dry the ink. The LEF-12 is developed to print photos, logos or other designs direct on to objects up to 11 cm thick. Examples of objects include gadgets, giftware and prototypes.

The standard LEJ-640 is delivered with a table unit that is easy to remove .Applications include packaging prototypes, displays, billboards and other signs. The maximum material thickness is 1.3 cm. The built-in LED lamps dry the ink. No heat is released in the process, so users can print on heat-sensitive materials.
