Determining the Printing Position Using Captured Images
First, print the alignment markers. After printing the markers, place the object on the flat table, and then take a picture of it using a smartphone. Import the photo data you have captured into FlexiDESIGNER to create the print data.
Use this printing method for printing that does not really require a lot of printing positions or printing sizes, such as when printing with a single point.
- It is not suitable for objects with height.
Since the height of the printed surface cannot be detected, objects with a thickness of 3 mm (0.12 in.) or more will have a significant printing position misalignment.
This is because the printed surface is in a position closer to the camera than the alignment markers by virtue of its thickness, and the area of the object is larger by virtue of its proximity. Therefore, printing on thicker objects will be printed slightly larger.
- It is not suitable for printing all the way to the edges of objects.
Because it is difficult to detect the edges of the object, printing position misalignment may be significant.
