Today I’m going to show you how to print names on slanted material used on soccer tactical boards.

 

I. Material condition to be printed _Slanted material UV printing

1. Messy name tags with adhesive sheets _Slanted material UV printing  

This project involved marking player names on magnets used in soccer strategy boards.

Previously, we used adhesive sheets to mark the names, but over time, the adhesive began to peel off, so we requested UV printing.

The adhesive sheets didn’t come off easily, so we gave up on printing on the areas that didn’t come off.

Where the adhesive sheet remained, no matter how thick the white ink was, a messy, uneven surface appeared.

If any adhesive sheet remains on the printing surface, it must be thoroughly removed to ensure a clean finish after UV printing.

2. Strong background colors are not easily masked with white alone _Slanted material UV printing

This task requires reprinting the player roster on the name tags that still have the names.

The names in red and black are difficult to completely mask, no matter how thickly I apply the white ink.

Strongly colored inks must be stripped to mask the white ink.

Although I stripped the black and red ink, they remained a bit dirty, so I printed the white ink twice.

II. To print on an inclined surface _Slanted material UV printing

1. Print mode _Slanted material UV printing

Since the material output has some curvature, I adjusted the print mode in the printer program accordingly.

* Single-leave (unidirectional printing)

* Scan Speed ​​”SLOW” and feed speed “SLOW”

Please refer to the window below for adjusting the head carriage speed (scan speed) and Y-axis platen feed speed (feed speed).

2. Why I chose Slow _Slanted material UV printing

The printer program has three modes for the head carriage speed: FAST, NORMAL, and SLOW.

• In FAST mode, the head carriage moves at approximately 1,000 mm per second.
• In NORMAL mode, it moves at approximately 800 mm per second,
• and in SLOW mode, it moves at approximately 400 mm per second.

The faster the head carriage speed, the more the ink falling downward is affected by the inertia of the head carriage moving side-to-side.

In particular, the further away the ink impact point is, the slower the ink falls, making it more susceptible to the side-to-side movement of the head carriage.

In other words, the faster the head carriage speed, the further away the ink impact point is, and the less likely the ink is to fall into its proper position.

For this reason, when printing on rounded materials, where the ink impact point is further away on an inclined surface,

the head carriage should move at a slower speed to reduce the inertia and ensure the ink falls into its proper position.

For this reason, the head carriage transfer speed was selected as the slowest, Slow.

 

3. Additional information about the settings window _Slanted material UV printing

The head carriage speed (scan speed) and the Y-axis platen feed speed must be the same.

The head carriage moves quickly for printing, but if the platen feed speed is slow, the head carriage will have no choice but to stop until the Y-axis feed is complete.

If this error accumulates, the printer logic will become erratic, causing printing to stop.

In other words, when adjusting the head carriage speed, the Y-axis feed speed must also be adjusted.

• If the scan speed is FAST, the feed speed is FAST.
• If the scan speed is NORMAL, the feed speed is NORMAL.
• If the scan speed is SLOW, the feed speed is SLOW.

For those unfamiliar with the head carriage, see below.
Although it’s not visible due to the cover, the large unit that moves back and forth during printing is called the head carriage.
The feed speed refers to the slight forward or backward movement of the platen with each print.

4. Results _Slanted material UV printing

Since I selected Slow for the carriage speed, the overall printing time was bound to be longer.

Furthermore, because the material is curved, I selected unidirectional printing mode, which slowed down the printing process even more than bidirectional printing.

Because of the messy printed surface, I printed the white part twice, which also doubled the printing time.

This is the result, and the name was printed on the rounded surface without any problems.

III. This is how ARTJET supports our customers.

One thing I feel while selling and maintaining ARTJET UV Printers for 5 years is that the next most important thing after product stability is Troubleshooting DATA.

All products have problems, whether they are actual equipment problems or consumer errors, and product stability is how easily and quickly you solve those problems.

We are organizing all the troubleshooting DATA as follows.
