Alignment by Camera Image

You can use your smartphone's camera to specify the printing position on the object before printing.

The flow of this operation is as follows.
  1. Print the printing markers for detecting positions on the flat table.
  2. Place the object on the flat table, and then take a picture of it with your smartphone.
  3. Transfer the captured image data to your computer, and then import it with FlexiDESIGNER.
  4. Position the print data on the image data and print it.

Compared to the usual printing method, in which the printing area is set by placing the object with reference to the white border of the flat table, alignment is easier since the position is specified from the imported image data. In addition, you can create print data with an image of the finished product in mind.

However, the printing position may misalign when printing on thicker objects or depending on the angle at which the pictures taken with the camera. Therefore, it is not suitable for printing over the entire printing area. We recommend using this method to print a small single point on a large printing area.
