Is it easy to print LEGO mini dolls with a UV printer? If you are looking for a machine to print Lego minifigures, you may have this question. The result is certain. This is our answer as a UV printer supplier to you.
UV printer is a direct inkjet printer that can print on slightly curved areas such as the head and hands of Lego minifigures, as well as on the torso, legs, and other parts. Combining our customized Jig, it is very easy to achieve efficient printing of Lego minifigures.
So, how to print on lego minifigures with the LEGO UV printers? Is it difficult to operate? In fact, its printing process is very simple. In the following video, we will take printing the torso of a LEGO mini figure as an example and use our customized Jig to show you the printing process:
The first step is to determine the scale of your Lego Minifigures printing business. That is to say, you need to determine whether it is for small or large batch printing, or just for personal use. Based on this, you can choose a printer of the corresponding size. If it is a small batch printing for individuals or shops, an A4 sized UV printer is sufficient. Relatively speaking, if it is a large-scale printing, you can choose some larger sized machines, such as A3 or A2 sizes.
We all know that LEGO minifigure heads are cylindrical parts with curvature. Therefore, printing such small components with multiple curved surfaces often presents certain technical challenges. As a high-precision inkjet printing device, the UV printer can stably print on the front area of the head, easily achieving detailed patterns such as eyebrows, eyes, and mouths. For most creators, this level of printing precision is sufficient to fully meet the needs of personalized customization.
Lego UV printer (also known as universal flatbed printer) is a device that can directly inkjet print on various flat materials. Compared to the head or hands of a human, the surface of the LEGO human’s torso is relatively flat, making it very suitable for pattern customization using UV printing technology. You can accurately print extremely fine patterns such as badges and logos on your torso.
Similarly, like the head, this part also has a certain degree of curvature. As a result, it may not be possible to fully cover the printed pattern on some areas with significant surface curvature. However, with the help of our specialized fixtures, the UV printer can still achieve stable printing on the outer side of the arms or relatively flat areas.
Using a UV printer, we can precisely apply designs to both the front and side surfaces of LEGO minifigure legs. This ensures that the custom graphics maintain visual consistency and continuity from any viewing angle.
The side profile of Lego minifigures is flat, without any protruding or recessed areas. Therefore, we can typically place them directly onto the printing tray for easy and straightforward printing.
To achieve seamless pattern printing that spans from the hips to the legs on Lego minifigures, we recommend connecting these two parts and printing them together during the front printing process. This method is highly practical because the hips portion has too small a printable area when handled individually; printing them as a single unit not only ensures precise alignment of the pattern but also enhances printing efficiency.
To achieve rapid batch printing for LEGO minifigures, it not only relies on advanced direct inkjet technology but also indispensably requires a dedicated custom jig. Using this jig, you can securely hold all parts such as the head, torso, arms, and legs. Each slot of the jig perfectly matches the shape of the components, ensuring they remain completely stationary during the printing process. Simply place the parts into the jig, and you can begin precise, high-speed batch printing, significantly enhancing efficiency.
