RF84 High Gantry
Fluid Color RF84 High Gantry
Industrial flatbed printing with up to 19.6 inches of vertical clearance for thick, dimensional, and specialty applications.
The RF84 High Gantry combines a 4′ x 8′ LED UV flatbed platform with Ricoh Gen6 printheads and expanded gantry clearance, giving print providers and manufacturers the ability to produce applications that standard flatbed printers simply cannot accommodate.
Go Beyond Standard Flatbed Printing
The RF84 High Gantry is designed for shops that want to expand beyond traditional sheets and boards. With nearly 20 inches of vertical clearance, it creates opportunities in dimensional graphics, packaging, décor, industrial printing, and specialty manufacturing.
High-Value Applications
Dimensional Signage
Print directly onto routed letters, assembled signage, fabricated displays, and dimensional components.
Packaging & Crates
Decorate thick packaging structures, boxes, crates, and custom containers without reducing them to flat sheets.
Wood & Décor
Produce custom graphics on wood panels, cabinetry components, furniture parts, and interior décor products.
Industrial Components
Add graphics, branding, identification, and decorative elements directly to manufactured parts and specialty products.
Acrylic & Plastics
Produce retail displays, specialty graphics, acrylic products, and fabricated plastic components.
Specialty Media
Expand into foam, textured substrates, and other non-standard materials that require greater vertical clearance.
Built for Production, Not Just Specialty Jobs
High gantry clearance is only useful when the printer can also deliver consistent, production-quality output. The RF84 High Gantry combines expanded media capability with proven industrial components and workflow compatibility.
Ricoh Gen6 Printheads
Industrial printhead technology for reliable output, sharp detail, and consistent production.
Linear Rail Technology
Precision carriage movement designed to support accurate dot placement and stable print performance.
Multi-Zone Vacuum Table
Helps hold rigid media securely and efficiently across the print area.
LED UV Curing
Immediate curing supports a broad range of rigid and specialty substrates and allows printed parts to move directly into finishing.
Industrial Design
A production-focused platform engineered for demanding print environments and specialty industrial applications.
Flexible RIP Workflow
Compatible with industry-standard RIP solutions including ImagePrint, ONYX, and Caldera.
RF84 High Gantry Specifications
Why High Gantry?
Most flatbed printers are designed primarily for boards and relatively thin rigid materials. The RF84 High Gantry changes that limitation by providing significantly more clearance between the print table and carriage.
That expanded clearance gives print providers the ability to pursue new applications, support specialty manufacturing customers, and produce higher-value work without relying on separate decorating or labeling processes.
