TBC/ TB
Industrial Inkjet Printer for 360° Seamless Taper/ Cylinder Printing
TBC/ TB industrial color UV-LED inkjet printers are specially engineered for direct printing on tapers/ cylinders, such as cups, bottles, tins and cans, and support a wide range of materials, including metal, glass, paper, wood and plastic.
Compared with traditional taper/ cylinder printing, like pad printing, screen printing and label printing, TBC/ TB has prominent advantages in being free from plates, fast warm-up, as well as short turnaround time. Also superior to digital thermal transfer printers, TBC/ TB owns more accurate colors, easier operation and lower costs.
Thanks to professional color management technology and proprietary VDS (Variable Droplet Size) control technology, TBC/ TB is specialized in producing smooth gradients, vivid images, and crisp small-sized text on tapers/ cylinders.
Highlighted by simplified workflow and easy operation, TBC/ TB boosts up the print productivity, earning the reputation as an ideal choice for various emerging markets in short-run printing, customized and personalized printing, package proofing applications, etc.
