Object to Be Printed On
Conditions for Settable Objects and Maximum Printable Area
This printer cannot print on all objects. When selecting an object to be printed on, be sure to carry out testing in advance to make sure that satisfactory printing results are obtained.
The conditions for objects that can be set in the machine and the maximum printable area are shown below.
| Model | Object size | Maximum printable area | Printing length | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO-640i F4 | Width: Max. 1,625 mm (64 in.), Thickness: Max. 242 mm (9.5 in.) | Width: 1,612 mm (63.4 in.), Thickness: 242 mm (9.5 in.) | 3,050 mm (120.0 in.) | Max. 100 kg/m2 (0.142 lb./in2) |
| CO-640i F3 | 2,500 mm (98.4 in.) | |||
| CO-640i F2 | 1,500 mm (59.0 in.) | |||
| CO-300i F2 |
Width: Max. 762 mm (30 in.), Thickness: Max. 242 mm (9.5 in.) |
Width: 749 mm (29.4 in.), Thickness: 242 mm (9.5 in.) | ||

Objects that easily reflect light cannot be used as objects to be printed on.
Materials that are likely to reflect the UV-LED lamp light, such as mirrors and stainless steel, promote the curing of the surface of the print heads and therefore cannot be used as the object to be printed on.
-
Using an object charged with static electricity will result in an unstable ink landing position, which can negatively affect print quality and the print heads.
Switch on the ionizer to neutralize the static electricity within the object.
-
Be sure to confirm whether an object can be used as an object to be printed on before use. Perform a test print to see if the object meets the quality requirements.
Check to see if the ink adhesion is sufficient, if the printing comes off when rubbed, if the colors fade after extended exposure to sunlight, etc.
- Objects with excessive unevenness cannot be used for printing.
-
For models with a vacuum: If the object still comes loose even when it is suctioned, use commercially available tape or some other means to hold the object in place.
If the object to be printed on comes loose during printing, the object may contact and damage the ink emission surface of the print heads.
If the object comes loose even when it is suctioned, use commercially available tape or some other means to hold the object in place.
-
Detecting the print surface height may not be possible with transparent printing objects.
If the object is transparent, the light from the height sensor may pass through the object, making height detection impossible.
Use colored tape on the sides of the object to be printed on to prevent the light from passing through.
