CET Color Printer Models
Flatbed Printers: Available in multiple sizes (3.25′ x 5′, 4′ x 8′, and 5′ x 10′), CET’s flatbed printers are engineered for precision. Equipped with Ricoh Gen6 or Kyocera printheads, these printers are perfect for accurate, double-sided, full-bleed prints on rigid substrates like wood, glass, and acrylic.

Hybrid Printers: CET’s hybrid printers provide the best of both worlds, combining the functionality of a flatbed and roll-to-roll printer. Available in widths of 63″, 98″, and 126″, these printers can print on virtually any substrate up to 2 inches thick, allowing businesses to work with both rigid and flexible materials. They are particularly suited for large signage, packaging prototypes, banners, and mixed-media projects.
Roll-to-Roll Printers: CET’s roll-to-roll series includes models like the 126″ K2-3200 and the 196″ K2-5000 for high-speed, continuous printing. These printers utilize Kyocera printheads and a Magnetic Linear Drive system to produce stunning quality at rapid speeds. They are perfect for vehicle wraps, textiles, and large-format wall coverings.
