4-5 Printing on a Curved Surface
With this machine, using a head cap lets you perform printing on cylinders and other examples of material
whose surface height is not uniform. This section describes how to create data, using printing on a cylindrical
material like the one shown below as an example.
Step1 : Decide on the Printing Area (Workpiece Size)
First, you make the settings for the printing area on the material. In the case of printing on cylindrical mate-
rial, printing over the entire surface of the material (as on flat material) is not possible. For this reason, the
METAZAStudio editing window displays the printing area instead of the material. The printing area is determined
by the value of the material’s diameter entered at the setting window for the driver. For more information about
the conditions of cylindrical material that this machine can print, refer to the page indicated below.
