Anyone can easily achieve professional-grade results with the BD-8. The printer supports True Rich Color 3, a print setting that helps optimize color vibrancy and accuracy, and has a variety of print modes with built-in setting information for specific applications, ensuring optimal results on smooth, curved and uneven surfaces.
Print Vibrant Light Colors on Dark Surfaces
Print light colors on dark surfaces with our white ink cartridge. Plus, with the onboard Primer ink, designs can be printed on textures like glass and metal.
Maximum Performance. Minimum Space.
The BD-8 printer is a powerhouse in a compact frame. It can be placed on a desk, and its front-access media setup, ink loading and maintenance allow for installation against a wall. The BD-8 is safe to operate as well, thanks to its full-cover design for UV light protection, GREENGUARD Gold certified inks and built-in fume extractor.
Starter Pricing. Designed for Growth.
With the BD-8, you get professional-grade print performance at an entry-level price, designed to suit the budgets of start-ups and small, growing businesses. The printer also comes with a built-in fume extractor, so there’s no need to purchase a separate, costly air filtration unit. Users will also appreciate the included, simple-to-install design and output software.
Print on Round Surfaces with an Optional Rotary Accessory
The BD-8 makes it possible to print fully around cylindrical and curved objects up to 2 inches in diameter, such as pens, jars and small bottles, with the optional rotary printing accessory.
Printer Maintenance Made Easy
The BD-8 is equipped with innovative features that make it easy to keep the printer healthy and performing at the highest possible level, including an automatic cleaning function that cleans the surface of the printhead to remove impurities and debris. It also comes ready for use immediately after installation and our customer service team is always just a click or call away.
GREENGUARD Gold Certified ECO-UV 5 (EUV5) Ink
The BD-8 printer’s specially formulated, wide-gamut ECO-UV5 inks image beautifully, dry instantly, and adhere well on a wide variety materials.
