printing on objects

As a part of our business we print on objects using screenprinting or padprinting.
For foils we have also a roland 540.
Now we look for a UV printer which can print on thick substrates (up to about 25cm or 10 inch)
I know Mimaki has a small one, also I look at the eagle60 (from Italy) Has any one of you further suggestions about a possible printer for objects (including white printing)

The highest quality printer I have worked with for the types of jobs you mention would be Direct Color Systems' DCS1324. Very high resolution, best solvent white ink I've used, high precision repeatability (for dbl hits of white, or multiple passes of the entire; full color design,) easy maintenance and good tech support. They make well engineered and rugged tools. They came out with the UV version shortly after I acquired the solvent, so I do not have any experience with that particular model. However, because of the precision of the 1324, I don't doubt for a second their claim for making textured or even 3-D prints by accurately laying down multiple passes of UV ink during a print job.
Have fun with whatever you get!

Won't do 10" though. IIRC 6" is it's max thickness.
