UV printing is a revolutionary technology with its ability to customize direct-to-object, allowing businesses to mass-produce flat items like signage at record speeds.
However, customizing curved surface objects has always been a bit of a challenge. It often requires the additional cost of a secondary machine like a rotary device. This results in extra cost and labor for businesses seeking high-quality, durable prints.
UV printing on tumblers offers an opportunity to create standout products. The ColDesi 300H3F UV Flatbed Printer comes equipped with a built-in rotary. Customization businesses no longer need to purchase extra equipment. This integration allows for cylinder object customization in a stand-alone printer.
The 300H3F is a flatbed cylindrical object printer at the forefront of UV technology, opening doors for businesses looking to print high-quality, long-lasting designs on curved surfaces.
Why UV Printing on Tumblers?
Tumblers have become a popular canvas for personalization. From logos and promotional graphics to custom designs, the demand for customized tumblers is growing. But why UV printing?
UV printing uses ultraviolet light to cure (or dry) the ink as it is printed. This technique offers several distinct advantages:
- Durability: The prints are tough, scratch-resistant, and long-lasting.
- Vibrancy: UV printers can print on virtually any material. These prints maintain vivid colors that don’t fade over time.
- Fast Turnaround: The ink dries instantly. Quick drying means faster production cycles and immediate handling.
- Eco-Friendly: UV printing uses fewer chemicals and solvents than other technologies. This makes UV printing a greener choice compared to traditional methods.
This technology is perfectly suited for cylindrical objects like tumblers. Other printing techniques may struggle to maintain consistent quality on curved surfaces.
Challenges of Printing on Tumblers
Surface
Adherence
The curved, smooth surfaces of tumblers make it difficult for ink to adhere properly. This is especially true if the material is slick, like stainless steel or coated plastic.
Printing on Curved Surfaces
Customizing cylinders can lead to distortions if the printer isn’t equipped to handle 360-degree printing seamlessly.
Durability Requirements
Tumblers are often exposed to harsh environments like washing and temperature changes. The print must remain intact through these conditions.
Versatility of Materials
Not all printers can manage a range of materials used in tumblers, from stainless steel to coated plastics.
The ColDesi 300H3F’s advanced technology and built-in rotary are designed for these challenges. It is a game-changer for UV printing on tumblers.
