❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does it take to print a phone case?
A: With the i1600u1 printhead, printing and curing takes 2-3 minutes. The complete customer experience (selecting design, payment, printing, dispensing) takes approximately 5-7 minutes.
Q: What if a customer’s phone model isn’t in stock?
A: The machine’s large 1,025-case capacity allows you to stock all popular models. You can also configure the machine to show only available models to customers. We provide inventory management recommendations based on your location.
Q: How durable are the printed cases?
A: Our industrial UV ink with dual LED curing creates scratch-resistant, waterproof prints that last for years. The print quality is comparable to factory-printed cases.
Q: Can customers really upload their own photos?
A: Yes! Customers can scan a QR code to upload photos from their phone, or use a USB port. The machine automatically optimizes images for best print quality.
Q: What’s the difference between i1600 and i3200 printheads?
A: The i3200 is even faster and higher quality than the i1600, but costs more. We recommend starting with i1600u1 (excellent quality at reasonable price) and upgrading to i3200 later if needed.
Q: How often do I need to refill supplies?
A: With 1,025 case capacity and efficient ink usage, most operators restock every 2-4 weeks depending on sales volume. UV ink cartridges last for approximately 1,000-1,500 prints.
Q: Can I manage multiple machines remotely?
A: Yes! Our cloud management platform allows you to monitor sales, inventory, and machine status for unlimited machines from any device with internet access.
Q: What happens if the machine breaks down?
A: The machine has self-diagnostic capabilities and will alert you to issues. We provide 24/7 remote support and can often fix problems remotely. For hardware issues, we ship replacement parts quickly (covered under warranty for first year).
