Thickness *1
0.3 to 40 mm (0.012 to 1.5 in.)
Size *1
When using the adhesive sheet: 100mm (3.9 in.) (W) × 200mm (7.9 in.) (L) or less, or 200mm (7.9
in.) (W)× 100mm (3.9 in.) (L) or less.
When using the center vise: 60 mm (2.3 in.) (W) × Length of 200mm (7.9 in.) (L) or less, or 200mm

Note that you cannot use material which warps during printing even if the thickness and size are within the
ranges specified above. If you use such material, warped material might come into contact with the head,
damaging the marking pins.
The following table shows the printable thickness and size by material.
Material
Aluminium
Brass or Copper
Stainless steel

The mounting direction of the vise might be limited.
P. 38, "Loading Material Using the Center Vise"
Hardness of surface to print
Vickers hardness (HV) of 200 or less *3
*3
Materials which may crack or split by printing (such as glass, stone, precious stones, china, and porcelain)
cannot be printed even if hardness is within the preceding range.
Attempting to print such materials may damage the machine.
For information of the hardness of the material surface, please contact the shop where you bought the
material or the manufacturer of the material.
