🖨️ Small Business Owner Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jessica Lin - DIY Signage Studio
"I purchased the ICONWAY 1325 UV Printer in February 2025, and after five months of daily use, I can confidently say it’s transformed my small business. The Ricoh print head delivers stunning detail—our custom acrylic signs and vinyl banners now look like premium retail products. Setup was surprisingly easy, and the automatic ink system means I don’t have to babysit print jobs. It handles 3mm-thick materials with no issues, and we’ve even experimented with curved wooden plaques. For a compact flatbed printer, the output quality rivals much more expensive models."

🏢 Commercial Print Shop Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Thompson - Advertising Agency
"We upgraded to the Advanced Model of the Pen Plotter 1325 in October 2024 to handle high-res metal signage for outdoor clients. The 6-color mode and 2400 dpi resolution have been game-changers—our photo prints on aluminum panels are now indistinguishable from professional lab prints. The UV-curable ink holds up perfectly under direct sunlight, and we’ve had zero print head clogs thanks to the automated cleaning cycle. Labor costs have dropped significantly since we can run overnight jobs unattended."

🚗 Automotive Customization Workshop Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Elena Rodriguez - Auto Detailing & Wraps
"Bought the Base Model in June 2025 for custom interior trim and dash plaque printing. The flatbed design accommodates slightly curved surfaces, which is perfect for printing on pre-shaped ABS plastic. Colors are vibrant, and the UV curing makes the prints scratch-resistant—ideal for high-touch vehicle parts. Only reason I’m not giving five stars is the software interface, which took some getting used to. But once calibrated, print consistency is excellent. Great value for a small shop like ours."

🛍️ Retail Display Designer Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Park - Retail Branding Consultant
"I use the Pro Model for luxury retail displays, and the 8-color + white ink capability allows us to print on dark acrylic and metallic films with flawless opacity and gradient control. We recently produced a series of backlit signage for a high-end fashion client—the detail at 2400x2400 dpi was microscopic. The 70mm bed clearance even let us print directly on textured 3D display bases. If you need museum-grade output with industrial reliability, this machine delivers."

🎨 Home-Based Crafter Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Sophie Nguyen - Handmade Accessories Seller
"As a solo crafter selling on Etsy, I needed something affordable but capable. The Base Model arrived in April 2025 and has been running non-stop for three months. I print on fabric patches, thin vinyl, and even coated paper for durable stickers. The UV ink dries instantly and doesn’t fade, which is perfect for outdoor festival sales. It’s not the fastest, but for $4k, the print quality and automation are impressive. Only wish the manual had more beginner tips."
