Conditions for Settable Objects to Be Printed On
In this manual, the objects to be printed are called the "object" or "media."
The D-UAB ink used in this machine is an ink that is instantly adhered to the object to be printed on by irradiating it with ultraviolet light. This makes it possible to perform printing on objects that are difficult to print on using conventional inks.
This section explains the objects which can be printed on using the machine.
Material
- ABS
- PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
- PC (polycarbonate)
- TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane)
- Leather
- Wood
Objects that cannot be printed on or have print quality issues
- In the case of objects that easily reflect light, the reflection of UV light may accelerate the curing of the UV ink on the surface of the print heads, resulting in ink discharge failure.
- Objects to be printed on that are electrostatically charged should be discharged before use.
If the ink is electrostatically charged, the position of the ink landing will not be stable, and printing quality will be adversely affected.
- Objects with excessive unevenness cannot be used for printing.
- If the object to be printed on still comes loose even with the flat table suction function turned on, use commercially available tape or some other means to hold the object in place.
If the object to be printed on comes loose, the ink emission surface of the print heads and the print surface can rub together, resulting in malfunction.
- This printer cannot print on all materials. When selecting the object to be printed on, be sure to carry out testing in advance to make sure that satisfactory print quality can be obtained.
The conditions for objects to be printed on that can be set in the machine are shown below.
