What Are the Best Tips for Choosing a Printer?

Universal printer, also known as flatbed printer, is a device that can perform color photo-level printing on wooden boards, glass, crystal, PVC, ABS, acrylic, metal, plastic, stone, leather, cloth and other textiles.

Universal printer

Universal printer, also known as flatbed printer, is a kind of

Explanation: Universal printers are not limited by any material. Whether it is a simple block color pattern, a full color pattern or a pattern with excessive colors, it can be printed in one operation. . ALPT flatbed printer without coating

Among them, the first universal printer in China (referred to as

Universal printer is a kind of "non-contact" inkjet printing type high-tech digital printing equipment. It can carry out colorful patterns on the surface of any flat material. The printing proof is fast. It is completed in one printing. And irregular soft and hard objects, such as metals, ceramics, crystals,

Although universal printers from scratch, from rough to precise, from complex operations to easy printing, from R & D to mature applications, many people are still new to universal printers. Because there is no uniform industry standard and the quality of various manufacturers is uneven, special attention should be paid when selecting a universal printer. Here are some suggestions for choosing a universal printer. That is, the most effective way to test the stability and accuracy of a machine:

1. Print the small number three in PS or CoredRAW, which is clear enough.

2. Tic-Tac-Toe / Small Box is printed 10 times repeatedly, which can be completely overlapped without shifting.

1.Simple and convenient operation

No need for plate making and repeated color registration process, easy operation and easy maintenance;

2.Fast printing speed

Low input cost, high-speed printing is completely suitable for industrial mass production;

3. Overcoming material boundaries

It can print any medium within the specified thickness, which completely overcomes the traditional printing method that can only use special paper and special specifications. It can use very thin or very thick objects. Its thickness can reach: 0.01mm--200mm.

4.Meet various shapes

There are no restrictions on planes, arcs and circles.

5. Height adjustment and batch setting

The height can be adjusted according to the printed objects, and the horizontal moving vertical spray structure is adopted, which can conveniently and freely use various raw materials. After easy placement, it can be automatically raised and lowered to the appropriate printing height. And can automatically set the batch production automatic feeding time, eliminating the need to repeat the computer steps.

6, not affected by the material of the object

You can use rich colors in raw materials (metal, plastic, stone, leather, wood, metal, glass, crystal, acrylic,

(0) Universal printer can print directly on the paper material

(1) can print pictures on any material. (Such as gold, silver, iron,

Before use, the surface of the material must be treated, that is, a surface treatment agent (coating) is sprayed on the surface of the material. These treatment agents will not have any effect on the surface of the material, and the effect is to increase the color effect and color adhesion.

The surface coating treatment has a great impact on the future color printing:

(A) to confirm what kind of material you want to print, and then carry out for the material

1. Print small print test accuracy

No matter what type of universal flatbed printer, the most basic condition that needs to be possessed is printing accuracy. The method to test the printing accuracy is: use PS to print 3 words and print on the whole page

Different manufacturers have different models, which can be roughly divided into the following types

A4 type print size: (210mm × 290mm)

A3 printing size: (320mm × 420mm)

A3 + type print size: (325mm × 600mm)

A2 type print size: (420mm × 600mm) (420mm × 800mm)

A2 + type print size: (420mm × 1200mm) (420mm × 1800mm)

A1 type print size: (900mmx1500mm)

A1 + type print size: (610mm × 1500mm) (610mm × 2000mm) (600mm × 2500mm)

A0 + printing size: (1118mm × 2000mm) (1140mm × 2500mm)

42 'type print size: (1070mm × 1950mm) (1070mm × 2500mm)

44 'type print size: (1110mm × 1950mm)

52 'type print size: (1300mm × 1950mm)

One of the same types of machines as universal printers is UV inkjet printers. So what is the difference between this machine and universal printing?

First, let's look at the differences between the two machines:

Costs are different:

1 Because the ink is water-based and permeable, it cannot display printed patterns on black objects, and even dark objects are not effective.

2Because universal printers are converted from traditional color printers, the speed is too slow. It takes 1 minute and a half to print an A4 size object.

3Since the printer uses a straight line, the printing material must be a flat material or a soft material. Relatively speaking, it has certain limitations!

4 At present, the production process of domestic universal printers is gradually mature, but the relative stability is still not in place, so the after-sales of the machine is a considerable gap!

First, the first thing is to use the automatic software cleaning of the inkjet printer.

Second, if you want to stop during the printing process. Do not turn off the power directly, but close the print program first. Wait for the nozzle cap to turn off the power. Because of this, it is not easy to let the moisture of the ink exposed to the air evaporate and block the nozzle dry.

3. If the nozzle is blocked at the beginning of printing, it is necessary to use the ink extraction method to extract the ink remaining in the ink head from the ink injection point of the ink cartridge. To prevent the drawn ink from flowing back into the ink head. This will cause the ink to mix. And the extracted waste ink contains impurities to avoid clogging the nozzles again.

Fourth, if the previous results are not good, use the last method. Every universal printer comes with a syringe and a cleaner. When the nozzle is blocked, you can use ink to replace the blocked color with a cleaning agent and print a vector illustration of that color until the nozzle is open.

First, the printed image cannot match the image displayed on the monitor.

First verify that the correct ink cartridges are installed reliably, and check the printer properties dialog box (usually check the Graphics tab) to see if the color matching feature is enabled. If you are trying to print a photo-quality drawing, you may need to install a photo cartridge in the printer and select a photo-related mode (such as Super Photo) in the printer properties dialog box or use a special-coated photo-quality paper.

Second, "stripes" appear in the print results of the inkjet printer. Streaks can be caused by different causes, and each possible cause needs to be carefully examined.

Check the paper. Incompatible or improper coated paper may cause streaks due to different ways of ink absorption.

Check the paper thickness lever / setting. If you are using paper, make sure that the paper thickness lever is in the normal position for inkjet paper and not in the envelope position. See your printer documentation for information on paper thickness settings.

Check the printer driver. Confirm that the correct printer driver is used for the specific inkjet printer. Also make sure that the correct print settings are selected in the driver settings for the desired paper type and resolution. Try reducing ink usage by using Draft or Quick print modes.

Check the video card driver. Some graphics card drivers may cause memory conflicts between video memory and printer drivers. This will usually cause unusual printing problems, such as noticeable streaks and missing characters. Try using the default Windows graphics driver provided by Microsoft, or see if the graphics card manufacturer has provided an updated graphics driver.

Clean / unblock the ink cartridges. Press the Unblock button (sometimes called the "Clean" button) and perform one or two cleaning processes to clear the blockage in the ink cartridge.

Replace the ink cartridge. If the cleaning process does not resolve the issue, try a different ink cartridge.

Third, the colors in the print results are misaligned.

The correct design and layout of the original graphics should be checked first. If the color is separated from the figure, it will also be separated from the final printout. Use the zoom or print preview feature of your specific software program to check how graphics are placed on the page. If the original image is correct, the most likely cause of the misalignment is that the print cartridges are misaligned. You may need to align the print cartridges when removing them for cleaning or replacement. Most printers provide a utility for alignment.
