When requesting samples from a UV flatbed printer supplier, provide the artwork that contains the desired colors and clearly state the material that will be printed. For Nocai's NC-UV2513, the available product information does not identify a mandatory color standard, code system, file type, or color tolerance. Before the sample is produced, ask the supplier how it accepts color references and how color similarity will be evaluated.
Send the design file or another reference that displays the colors you want reproduced. Since the NC-UV2513 specifications do not name a required standard such as a specific color system, confirm whether the supplier prefers artwork, physical samples, color codes, or another reference method.
Identify the exact surface for the test print. The NC-UV2513 is listed for applications involving metal, glass, ceramic, wood, acrylic, paper, plastic, and leather. The same color may appear different depending on the material, surface finish, ink absorption, and printing settings.
Ask the supplier to define the expected color-match level before approving the sample. The product information does not state a measurable color tolerance, so the listed positioning specification should not be used as a substitute for color accuracy.
The NC-UV2513 is described as a large-format UV flatbed printer with a visual positioning system. Its listed configuration supports between 2 and 8 Ricoh Gen6 printheads, a maximum resolution of 2400 dpi, and a working area of 2500 x 1300 mm. These details indicate the machine's printhead options, image resolution, and printable size; they do not establish a color standard or guarantee a particular color match.
The visual recognition function is intended to scan workpieces and help position the print accurately. Its stated overlay accuracy of +/-0.1 mm relates to alignment between printed elements and the workpiece. It is not a Delta E value, ink color tolerance, or general measure of color fidelity.
The product listing identifies advertising, packaging, home decoration, and crafts and gifts as key application areas. Because the printer is presented as compatible with several substrates, the sample request should describe both the intended design and the exact material on which it will be printed.
| Request item | Information available for the NC-UV2513 | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Target colors | No required color standard or coding system is listed. | Include the target colors in the artwork or reference material and ask how they will be interpreted. |
| Artwork format | The product information does not specify a required digital file format. | Confirm which file types and color modes the supplier accepts for sampling. |
| Substrate | Supported materials listed include metal, glass, ceramic, wood, acrylic, paper, plastic, and leather. | Name the exact material, surface condition, and any relevant finish. |
| Color tolerance | No color-matching tolerance is provided. | Request a measurable or clearly defined color-match expectation before production. |
| Overlay accuracy | The stated +/-0.1 mm specification concerns positioning. | Do not interpret overlay accuracy as a color-accuracy guarantee. |
Must I provide a particular color standard for an NC-UV2513 sample?
Not according to the available product information. It does not specify a mandatory color standard, code system, or reference-file format. Confirm the supplier's preferred method before sending the request.
Can the +/-0.1 mm overlay figure be used to judge color matching?
No. That figure describes the printer's workpiece positioning or overlay performance. The listing does not provide a color tolerance or a measured color-matching specification.
Why is the substrate important when requesting a color sample?
Ink appearance can vary across different surfaces. The NC-UV2513 is listed for materials such as metal, glass, ceramic, wood, acrylic, paper, plastic, and leather, so the sample should use the same material planned for production whenever possible.
What should I confirm with the supplier before approving the sample?
Confirm the accepted artwork or reference format, the color-reference method, the substrate requirements, and the criteria that will be used to assess the reproduced colors.
A complete NC-UV2513 sample request should include the target artwork or color reference, the precise printing substrate, and a written agreement on how the color result will be assessed. The available specifications describe the printer's size, resolution, printhead configuration, and overlay positioning, but they do not define a color standard or color tolerance.
