DPI Laboratory brings balance back to UV printing with industrial performance, honest pricing, and real-world reliability.
St. Petersburg, FL - The UV printing industry has spent years divided between two extremes: overengineered legacy systems with inflated prices and unreliable imports that cut corners. DPI Laboratory, a Florida-based innovation company, has built something in between, a reliable, industrial-grade platform designed for real shops.
That platform is Catalyst Printers™, and it represents the company’s mission in one sentence: “Between the hype and the chaos, there’s Catalyst.”
“We wanted to give businesses a tool they could actually trust,” said Lon Riley, Founder and CEO at DPI Laboratory. “For too long, customers had to choose between paying too much or risking too much. Catalyst was built to change that by giving real shops power, precision, and exceptional support, so they can focus on growing their business.”
Built for the Real World & Real People
Catalyst Printers™ are engineered for performance and transparency, not gimmicks. Each system helps manufacturers, print shops, and creators produce high-quality work quickly, efficiently, and affordably, without the hidden costs that have become common in the UV market.
The flagship Catalyst Aventra delivers industrial power at a fraction of the cost of comparable printers from LogoJET or Mimaki. Priced at $48,900, it includes a rotary attachment, bulk ink delivery system, automated ink agitation, onsite installation and training, and ongoing support.
According to DPI’s Smart Investment comparison chart (see image below,) Catalyst Aventra costs up to $17,000 less than competing models and runs at less than half the ink cost of most legacy systems, $165 per liter compared to averages of $235–$440.
“Industrial power should not be exclusive,” Riley said. “Our goal is to make advanced UV printing accessible to anyone from small makers to global manufacturers.”
Designed for Growth
Beyond affordability, Catalyst Printers™ redefine flexibility. Each system can print on wood, glass, metal, plastics, and textiles, making them ideal for industries ranging from packaging and signage to sports merchandising, education, and event branding.
DPI Laboratory is also expanding into maker spaces, libraries, and schools, where UV printing is being recognized not only as a creative tool but also as a marketable skill for students and professionals.
Disrupting a $1.5 Billion Market
Analysts project the UV printing market to surge toward $1.5 billion by 2030, driven by demand from manufacturing, customization, and creative industries. DPI Laboratory is redefining how that growth happens, through innovation built on integrity. Rather than chasing volume, DPI focuses on solving real workflow and cost challenges.
“Catalyst is about showing that you can build something strong, elegant, and affordable without cutting corners, and back it up with people who actually care,” said Riley. “We’re proving that innovation doesn’t have to be expensive and that support and honesty still belong in printer manufacturing.”
By combining all-inclusive pricing, U.S.-based support, and a transparent supply chain, DPI is removing the barriers that have long kept small and midsize businesses out of the UV printing space.
