Printing On Aluminum Cans With The SNEED-JET® Titan T6 Handheld Printer

The SNEED-JET® Titan T6 handheld printer is designed for versatility in printing on various surfaces, including uneven ones. However, when it comes to printing on the bottom of aluminum cans, there are specific considerations to keep in mind.

Surface Compatibility

The SNEED-JET® Titan T6 handheld printer can be used on uneven surfaces, thanks to the availability of a surface adapter specifically designed for this purpose. This adapter enhances the printer's ability to maintain contact with irregular surfaces, which is beneficial when printing on items like aluminum cans.

Concave Surface Challenges

Despite the adaptability of the Titan T6, printing on the bottom of aluminum cans presents unique challenges. The concave shape of the can's bottom can create a significant distance between the printer's nozzle and the surface being printed on. The Titan cartridges have a maximum throw distance of approximately 6mm. If the distance from the nozzle to the bottom of the can exceeds this limit, it may hinder the printer's ability to produce perfectly clear prints - however, they are typically still legible. 

Performance Guarantee

To ensure that the Titan T6 meets your specific printing needs, Sneed Coding Solutions offers a 30-day performance guarantee. This allows users to test the printer in their operational environment to determine if it effectively meets their requirements for printing on aluminum cans.

Conclusion

While the SNEED-JET® Titan T6 handheld printer can potentially be used on the bottom of aluminum cans, the effectiveness of this application may be limited by the concave shape of the cans and the maximum throw distance of the printer. Utilizing the surface adapter can help, but users should be aware of the potential challenges and take advantage of the performance guarantee to assess suitability for their specific needs.
