2 way to Operate:

1. Flatbed UV Printer Operation Process:

Preparation:

Ensure the surface of the material to be printed is clean and free of dust.

Adjust the height of the printer platform based on the material’s thickness, ensuring the print head is properly aligned.

Design Setup:

Upload your design to the printer's control software.

Set the appropriate printing parameters, including resolution, color, and size of the image.

Positioning:

Place the material onto the flatbed, ensuring it's aligned accurately.

For better precision, some printers allow visual positioning to detect and align prints automatically.

Pre-Print Check:

Conduct a nozzle check to ensure no blockages in the print heads.

Verify ink levels and UV curing system functionality.

Printing Process:

Start the printing process, and monitor the ink application to ensure smooth operation.

The UV light will cure the ink instantly as it’s applied.

Post-Print:

Once printing is complete, inspect the final product for quality.

The material can be immediately handled, thanks to the UV curing process.

2. Roll-to-Roll UV Printer Operation Process:

Roll Material Setup:

Load the roll material onto the printer. Ensure that it is properly aligned and tensioned to avoid printing issues.

Design and Parameter Setup:

Upload the design to the control software and set the printing parameters similar to the flatbed operation, but adjust for continuous roll material.

Calibration and Alignment:

Calibrate the machine to ensure accurate print placement, especially for repeated patterns.

If the printer has a visual positioning system, use it for precise alignment.

Pre-Print Maintenance:

Perform the same pre-print maintenance, including a nozzle check and ensuring sufficient ink levels.

Start Roll Printing:

Start the roll-to-roll printing process, monitoring the continuous feed and print quality.

The UV ink is cured as the material moves, allowing for non-stop printing without smudging.

Post-Print:

Once the printing is done, the roll can be cut to the desired size.

Inspect the print for consistency, particularly in longer runs, and ensure the ink has fully cured across the material.

Both processes share similar setups but differ in material handling, with flatbed printing ideal for rigid items and roll-to-roll for flexible materials.

The KO-4060 UV DTF Printer is an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their product offerings with high-resolution, customizable prints. Its 2-in-1 roll and flat printing capabilities, special effect options, and the possibility to upgrade with visual positioning technology make it a versatile tool for a wide range of industries. Whether for sporting goods, fashion accessories, or packaging, the KO-4060 provides consistent, high-quality results tailored to your needs.
