Preparation:
Make sure the printer is placed on a flat, stable workbench, connect the power supply, and follow the instructions to complete the installation and commissioning of the ink or thermal transfer ribbon.
Loading Media:
Correctly place the cylindrical object to be printed (e.g., bottle, cup) into the printer’s carrier mechanism. This may require adjustments to the support and clamping mechanisms to ensure that the object is stable and does not slide during the printing process
Calibration and Setup:
Perform height and position calibration of the print head through the printer’s control panel or connected computer software. Set the size, position and color configuration of the print pattern to ensure that it fits the curved surface of a cylindrical object.
Preview & Test:
Most modern printers allow for a print preview before the actual printing. Use this feature to check that the design is aligned and that the colors are as expected.
Starts printing:
After confirming that all settings are correct, start the print job. During the printing process, pay attention to observe whether there is any abnormal noise or jamming, so as to make timely adjustments.
Post-processing:
After printing, it may be necessary to wait for the ink or coating to dry, depending on the characteristics of the material used. Afterwards, check the printing results and trim or apply a protective coating if necessary.
The above steps may need to be adjusted appropriately due to the wide variation in specific models and functions of high-speed cylindrical printers. If you encounter specific technical problems or need more detailed operating instructions, please consult the user manual supplied with the unit directly or contact the manufacturer’s technical support.
