As a professional in the packaging and printing industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work with various printing technologies, but the Kenteer KTM-A33 eco solvent printer has stood out for its versatility, efficiency, and high-quality output. This 1.9-meter dual-head printer is designed to meet the demands of large-format printing while maintaining eco-friendly operations. Below, I’ll share some real-world applications where this machine has proven invaluable.
1. Custom Packaging for Retail Brands
One of the most common uses of the KTM-A33 eco solvent printer is in producing custom packaging for retail brands. Whether it’s luxury boxes, product labels, or promotional displays, the printer’s 1800mm print width allows for seamless production of large batches. The eco solvent ink ensures vibrant colors and durability, which is critical for packaging that needs to withstand handling and transportation. For example, a local cosmetics brand used this printer to create eye-catching gift boxes with intricate designs, and the results were stunning—no color fading even after months on shelves.
The printer’s ability to handle different pass modes (6pass, 8pass) also makes it adaptable to varying quality and speed requirements. When time was tight, we switched to 6pass for faster output (47m²/h), and when the client demanded higher detail, 8pass delivered without compromising efficiency.
2. Corrugated Board Printing for Shipping Boxes
Corrugated boards are a staple in shipping and logistics, and the KTM-A33 eco solvent printer excels here. Its compatibility with thick materials and the precision of the 5113/4720/13200-2H print heads ensure sharp text and graphics, even on uneven surfaces. A logistics company we worked with needed branded shipping boxes for a seasonal campaign. The printer’s high speed (39m²/h in standard mode) allowed us to meet their tight deadline while maintaining crisp logos and barcodes.
The eco solvent inks are also resistant to moisture, which is a huge advantage for boxes exposed to varying weather conditions during transit.
3. Point-of-Sale (POS) Displays and Standees
Retail environments rely heavily on POS displays to attract customers. The KTM-A33’s wide-format capability lets us print full-scale standees, shelf talkers, and banners in one go. A supermarket chain recently ordered a series of eco-friendly promotional stands for a product launch. The printer’s ability to produce vivid, smudge-proof prints on recycled materials aligned perfectly with their sustainability goals.
The machine’s stability in different environments (thanks to its recommended working temperature of 22-28°C and humidity control) ensures consistent quality, whether we’re printing in summer or winter.
4. Flexible Packaging for Food and Beverages
Food packaging requires non-toxic, odorless prints, and the KTM-A33’s eco solvent inks meet these standards. We’ve printed labels for snack bags, beverage sleeves, and even heat-sealable pouches. A local coffee brand wanted biodegradable bags with high-resolution artwork—this printer delivered with precision, and the inks passed safety tests for direct food contact (after lamination).
The 3500W power rating and 220V compatibility make it easy to integrate into existing production lines without requiring special infrastructure.
5. Industrial Labels and Stickers
From warehouse inventory tags to automotive part labels, the KTM-A33 handles abrasive-resistant prints effortlessly. A car parts manufacturer needed durable stickers for engine components, and the eco solvent printer’s output survived oil exposure and high temperatures. The Hanse circuit board system (with Ethernet connectivity) streamlined file transfers, reducing setup time between jobs.
