Introducing the Monarch FB4896 Vision UV Flatbed Printer System
The Innovative Solution for Oversized, High-Impact UV Printing
The Monarch FB4896 Vision UV Flatbed Printer System is built for print shops that require industrial performance and flexibility at scale. With a massive 48" x 96" printable area, this system empowers decorators to print on oversized substrates with precision and speed, ideal for signage, specialty items, promotional products, and more.
Powered by eight advanced Epson I3200-U printheads (4 color + 4 white), the Monarch delivers high-fidelity output with exceptional photo-quality detail. Features like multi-zoned vacuum tables, a 4" throat depth for thicker substrates, and UV layering capabilities for tactile 3D finishes give operators unlimited creative potential.
Equipped with an automated clearance system, robust servo motors, and optional Arcus Vision Scan technology for template-free printing, the Monarch FB4896 Vision combines power, reliability, and innovation. Supported by Arcus RIP UV software and designed with remote-control ArcusLink functionality, it’s the production-ready flatbed that takes your business to the next level.

Key Features
Industrial Epson I3200-U Printheads
Eight fixed I3200-U printheads (4 color + 4 white) deliver high-resolution output with droplet sizes as small as 2.5pl. This industrial printhead design ensures speed, durability, and photo-quality detail for demanding production environments.
Oversized 48" x 96" Printable Area
A massive flatbed capacity supports full-size boards, large signage, and oversized substrates. Multi-zoned vacuum system ensures maximum vacuum strength, holding materials firmly in place for accurate registration and flawless imaging.
Advanced UV Layering and Haptic Printing
Create striking effects with multi-layered textures and raised 3D prints. Controlled ink height gives you more creative freedom and value-added applications.
White Ink Recirculation and Stirring
Continuous circulation prevents pigment from settling and nozzle blockages, keeping white ink flowing reliably. This feature also extends the life of your printhead for smooth, consistent coverage on every job.
Vision Scan Camera System
Integrated vision technology scans substrate shapes and automatically aligns artwork for accurate placement. You can print multiple objects in random positions with speed and precision, without needing any templates or jigs.
Anti-Static Bar
Integrated anti-static control reduces surface charge, for accurate ink placement and preventing droplet deflection for consistently clean prints.
