Instant New Products
There has never been a faster way to bring new products to the market! Within minutes after you received your customer’s design, the finished component is printed and ready to be shipped!

digitally printed heat transfres 2HEX Making Regional Skateboard Manufacturers More Competitive
Skateboard suppliers outside of China need 6 weeks to make custom decks, or 6 months for custom trucks or wheels! This is because they rely on factories in China to do the printing for them - this takes time!

With the 2HEX22A1 skateboard printer, you will be the leading custom skateboards supplier. You will not need to wait for suppliers in China to print your customers’ heat transfers. You will instead be printing heat transfers and all other skateboard components and packaging materials yourself.

This brings your production time from 2 months to 2 days!
A very big competitive advantage, that sets you apart from all other skateboard manufacturers in your country!

After you received your own 2HEX22A1 skateboard printer, you will save your customers months of waiting. And time is money. Your extremely high speed will allow you to charge higher production prices. And your customers will gladly pay for the very short production time you offer!

The digital skateboard printer will also enable you to do instant prototyping. Many customers want pre-mass-production samples. With the 2HEX22A1 skateboard printer you will be offering instant pre-production samples.

Enable Skate Shops To Make Bigger Profits
Skateshops make the biggest profit margins on products with their own shop-brand!
But because of the high minimum order quantity of each custom designed skateboard component, most skate shops can only add decks of one or two designs. Only very few shops sell large enough volumes of one design, in order to run their own wheels, bearings or completes productions, or to even think of having 20 different shop deck designs.
 
digital skateboard printer samples You will change this with the 2HEX22A1 skateboard printer!
Skate shops in your region will now be able to get a seemingly endless amount of different shop deck designs. And not only will they be able to have shop decks, but also shop wheels, shop trucks, and shop griptapes!  
On top of that, you will enable skate shops to sell individual custom decks to skateboarders and skate-crews! Skate crews can go to their local skate shops that you supply to order five or ten decks with their own team-logo. The skate shops you supply, will now be able to sell professionally printed one-off decks! Every skateboarder can get their own pro deck made, and parents will have an unforgettable Christmas or birthday present for their teens! The skate shops that you sell to, will be the most popular skate shops in their regions!

With the 2HEX22A1 skateboard printer you will take your customers to the next era of skateboard manufacturing. 
The 2HEX22A1 costs as much as a full-time employee's annual salary. 
But investing into a 2HEX22A1 skateboard printer brings you much more business!

》4 x 330ml bottles (one set of inks) = 92 SQM (about 552 heat transfers)

Therefor, ink when used optimally costs around 26 cents per heat transfer.

 

How many heat transfers can I print per day?

》The print speed is 9m² per hour. That's about 54 heat transfers, 54 griptapes, or 3000 skateboard wheels per hour.

 

How big is the print area?

》90 X 90 cm or 35 X 35 inches. A skateboard deck has a length of 32" and a width of 8.5". So you can place 4 decks or 3 heat transfers next to each other.

 

Can it print on the complete deck?

》The 2HEX22A1 cannot print on the tip of the tail or nose, because of the distance between the print head and deck. The maximum distance between print head and deck is 2cm. Direct prints therefor miss 5cm of the tip of the nose and the tip of the tail.

 

How can I print on decks from nose to tail?

》You will need to print heat transfers with the 2HEX22A1, and then transfer the ink from the heat transfers onto decks using 2HEX 11SBHTP-21 skateboard heat transfer machine.

 

How do I print heat transfers?

》Buy the our blank heat transfers (listed above), print on them, let them dry, use screen printing OR a brush OR a wall roller to add the white glue-ink on top of your print.

 

How do I print the heat transfers onto decks?

》Buy the 2HEX 11SBHTP-21 skateboard heat transfer machine HERE. You can see the price after registering or logging in. This machine lets you transfer the print from the heat transfer onto decks.

 

Can you make bigger printers than the 2HEX22A1 for longboard decks?

》Yes, however at a higher price. It will be 2000 USD for the customization + added cost proportional to the increased print area.

 

Maintenance and Replacing of Components?

》The print heads and ink system of 2HEX22A1 need regular cleaning to keep them free of contaminants and lengthen the print heads' lifespans. A print head must be replaced approximately every 6 months to 2 years based on your maintenance and usage. A new print head costs 1550 USD as of September 2023. 

 

What do you offer for warranty and servicing support?

》The machine has a one-year limited warranty for manufacturing errors. During this time frame we also offer phone support to set up the printer and get started printing.

Is this the same as a DTF printer?
