Imprinting on Curved Surfaces
With this machine, using a head cap allows you to imprint curved surfaces. This section describes how to do
so using imprinting on a semi-cylindrical material like the one shown below as an example.

Set the imprint area.
First, configure the settings for the imprint area on the material. When imprinting a curved surface, imprint-
ing the entire surface of the material (as with flat material) is not possible. For this reason, the METAZAStudio
editing window displays the imprint area instead of the material. The imprint area is determined by the value
of the material’s diameter entered in the METAZA Driver 2 setting window.
For more information about the conditions of material with a curved surface that this machine can imprint,
refer to the page indicated below.
