On the afternoon of September 4th, the Keditec exhibition hall was abuzz with activity – the company organized a special operation training session for frontline employees on the Keditec UV flatbed printer. More than a dozen colleagues who often work with this equipment attended the training, which was led by Fang from the Equipment Department.
At the start of the training, Fang didn’t go into too much theoretical detail. Instead, he immediately gathered everyone around the printer and pointed out the key components: “This is the print head – the quality of our prints depends entirely on it, so it needs regular cleaning. Next to it is the UV lamp, which cures the ink after it’s sprayed. It gets very hot, so never touch it with your hands.” As he spoke, he demonstrated the basic workflow of the equipment, helping everyone grasp the principle of “computer sends instructions – machine sprays ink – UV lamp dries” at a glance.
The core operation part was entirely hands-on teaching. Fang first demonstrated the entire process step by step: when starting up, turn on the main power first, then the computer and ink supply system, followed by a mandatory print head cleaning until the ink lines are continuous and stable. When loading materials, wipe the acrylic or wooden boards clean and place them properly, then adjust the suction strength according to the material weight to prevent shifting during printing. Setting parameters on the computer also requires attention: for high-definition prints, increase the resolution and slow down the speed; for dark materials, add a bit more ink and adjust the UV power accordingly. After the demonstration, everyone took turns practicing, and Fang stepped in to guide anyone who got stuck. When one employee struggled with faint colors due to incorrect ink volume settings, Fang showed them how to fine-tune the parameters, and the next test print turned out perfectly.
Safety was also emphasized. Fang held up goggles and gloves and said: “Direct UV lamp exposure hurts your eyes, and ink on skin should be washed off immediately – these protective gear must be worn.” He specifically warned that hands should never reach under the print head while the machine is running, and to cut the power first if any abnormal noise is heard before calling him.
At the end, everyone tried operating the machine independently, completing the entire process from startup to printing and shutdown smoothly. Operator Xiao Zhang smiled and said: “I used to worry about setting wrong parameters and wasting materials. Now after learning from Fang, I know the steps clearly and can even fix simple ink clogs. Work will definitely be smoother from now on!”
