Object to Be Printed On

Conditions for Settable Objects and Maximum Printable Area

MEMO

In this manual, the objects to be printed are called the "object" or "media."

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.

MEMO The maximum printable areas are not the same as the maximum sizes of objects that can be loaded on the table.
Model Object size Maximum printable area Weight
LO-640-F3 Width: Max. 1,625 mm (63.97 in.), Thickness: Max. 242 mm (9.52 in.) Width: 1,520 mm (59.84 in.), Length: 2,450 mm (96.46 in.) Max. 100 kg/m² (0.14 lb./in.²)
LO-300-F2 Width: Max. 762 mm (30 in.), Thickness: Max. 242 mm (9.52 in.) Width: 656 mm (25.83 in.), Length: 1,450 mm (57.1 in.)
IMPORTANT

  • Objects that easily reflect light cannot be used as objects to be printed on.

    Materials that are likely to reflect the UV light, such as mirrors and stainless steel, accelerate 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.

    Notes When the Print Surface Is Uneven

  • 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.

  • 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.
