Do the printers work on metal?

We have a variety of printer models and inks available that work excellent on various types of metals and alloys.

The main consideration for printing on non porous surfaces like different types of metals is the ink type. All of our SNEED-JET printers have solvent based, fast drying inks for printing on various types of metals and metal alloys. 

The typical dry time when printing on metal is any where from instant to a few seconds. The surface should be completely dry when printing and any type of lubricants or oils should be wiped off before printing. The permanence of the ink can vary depending on the specific alloy. (Learn more about ink adhesion here: Is the ink permanent?)

We can perform preliminary ink testing for you at our global headquarters in Texas. Simply send us some of your materials and we will perform print samples to send back to you for approval prior to purchasing the printer.
