01 — OVERVIEW
The MC-300 U1 is a desktop system for 30 cm UV DTF crystal label work. A single Epson i3200-U1HD head lays white and varnish alongside CMYK, and two rows of UV LED cure the ink on the film immediately. A and B film are laminated automatically inside the machine, so no separate press is needed. Output is 3.6 m²/h of film at four passes. Labels transfer cold onto glass, metal, wood and curved surfaces. White is stirred rather than circulated, which asks for a short daily routine.
The B film is roller-laminated onto the A film at the print exit and wound as a finished roll. On setups using a separate laminating press, dust and trapped air are the most common source of waste; laminating in line removes the step entirely.
395 nm LED rows on both sides of the carriage cure on both strokes. An under-cured varnish layer shows fingerprints after transfer, and the second row closes exactly that gap left by single-direction curing.
The white channel is stirred automatically rather than circulated. That is the honest picture in this class: stirring delays settling, it does not prevent it. If the machine will stand idle for more than a week, plan to flush the white line.
Varnish prints as its own channel on selected areas, giving the label a raised, tactile surface. It is the single property that separates a crystal label from a flat sticker, and the varnish channel has to be built as a separate layer in the artwork.

We publish this before the sale. A machine that will not fit through the door, or a supply that cannot carry it, is the most expensive surprise there is.
04 — QUESTIONS
Shops doing short-run crystal labels, promotional items and personalisation. At a 30 cm web and 3.6 m²/h this is not a volume machine; past about 5 m² a day, look at a 60 cm UV DTF system. If you need to print directly onto flat rigid sheets, the right machine is a UV flatbed.
Technically yes, in practice no. The surface energy of the A film and the adhesive class of the B film are chosen against each other and against the ink; a mismatched pair either refuses to release from the film or lifts at the edges after transfer. Ask for a sample before changing film brand.
Indoors, on smooth substrates such as glass and metal, treat it as permanent. Outdoors we state 12 months, and that figure is for vertical exposure in a Central European climate. Horizontal exposure, vehicle exteriors or a Mediterranean climate shorten it — for that work a laminated vinyl is still the better answer.
Not mandatory. UV LED curing releases no solvent vapour and odour is low. Still, keep normal air movement in the room and store cleaning fluid in a closed container; the smell comes from the cleaning consumables, not the ink.
A nozzle check and capping-station clean at the end of every shift; a white-line check and wiper clean weekly. Dampers are replaced roughly every six months. On a single-head machine a blocked head means production stops outright — this routine is not optional.
