Here’s how it works:

  1. Load a compatible ink cartridge.

  2. Design your print template (text, logo, barcode, etc.) on-screen.

  3. Place the printer against the product surface.

  4. Press the trigger to print – instant drying ensures no smudge or delay.

The entire process takes seconds, delivering precise prints with zero maintenance.


Performance and Efficiency

  • Print Height: 1mm to 12.7mm

  • Print Speed: Up to 60 meters per minute

  • Resolution: Up to 600 DPI
