1. What If You Receive A Printing Order With Objects Of Different Heights?
For many UV printing businesses, high-drop printing orders can be difficult to handle. A customer may bring different products at the same time: phone cases, acrylic blocks, wooden boards, gift boxes, metal plates, packaging samples or small promotional items. These products may not have the same height, shape or placement position.
For a traditional printing workflow, this kind of order often means more manual adjustment, more fixture preparation and more risk of inaccurate printing. Some shops may even reject the order because they are not confident about positioning accuracy.
But difficult orders can also mean new market opportunities.
The AUDLEY 2513 UV flatbed printer is designed to help printing businesses handle more complex UV printing tasks. With a large flatbed platform and automatic scanning positioning workflow, users can place different objects on the platform and let the system help locate each item before printing.
This allows print shops to move beyond simple flat products and accept more customized, higher-value orders.
2. Why High-Difference UV Printing Is A Real Customer Pain Point
UV flatbed printing is widely used in customized products, advertising signs, packaging, gifts, acrylic decoration, wood printing, metal printing and other commercial applications. However, customers rarely bring only one perfect flat object.
In real production, object height differences are common. One order may include a flat acrylic panel, a raised wooden item and several small products with uneven shapes. If the printer cannot handle this situation well, the operator may need to print in separate batches, adjust the platform repeatedly or create custom positioning templates.
This increases production time and labor cost. It can also increase the risk of misalignment, wasted materials and failed prints.
For print shops, the biggest loss is not only the wasted material. The real loss is turning away a customer who needs custom printing. Once a shop cannot accept difficult orders, those customers may go to a competitor with better equipment.
That is why a UV printing business needs a printer that can support more flexible object placement and more accurate positioning.
3. Place The Items Freely On The Platform
One of the key advantages of the AUDLEY 2513 UV flatbed printer is its ability to support flexible placement.
Instead of arranging every product in a fixed position by hand, operators can place the items on the flatbed platform according to the order layout. The system can then scan and locate the objects before printing.
This is very useful when dealing with multiple product types or different object heights. For example, a shop may need to print logos on several promotional gifts, patterns on acrylic blocks and graphics on packaging samples in the same workflow.
The 2513 UV flatbed format provides a large printing area, making it suitable for both small custom items and larger advertising materials. For businesses that need batch customization, this platform size helps improve production flexibility.
With a more flexible workflow, operators can reduce repeated setup and spend more time on actual production.
4. Automatic Scanning And Positioning Improve Accuracy
Accurate positioning is one of the most important factors in UV printing. If the printed image is not aligned with the product, even a high-quality print result becomes unusable.
The AUDLEY 2513 UV flatbed printer uses an automatic scanning and positioning workflow to help locate objects on the platform. After the items are placed, the system scans the surface and identifies the printing position. This helps the printer place the design more accurately on the target object.
For products with different heights, this function is especially valuable. It reduces dependence on manual measurement and helps improve repeatability.
This does not mean operators can ignore preparation. Materials still need to be clean, stable and properly placed. But automatic positioning can reduce the difficulty of handling mixed-object orders and make the printing process more efficient.
For customers, the result is simple: the print lands where it should, with clear details and cleaner alignment.
5. More Applications For Custom Product Printing
The 2513 UV flatbed printer is suitable for a wide range of customized printing applications.
It can be used for:
Acrylic signs and decorations
Phone cases and electronic accessories
Packaging samples and gift boxes
Wood boards and decorative panels
Metal plates and nameplates
Ceramic tiles and building decoration
Promotional gifts and branded products
Advertising display materials
Personalized small objects
Commercial sample production
For print shops, these applications are valuable because they often have higher customization demand. A customer may not need thousands of identical products. Instead, they may need fast samples, short-run customization or multiple designs for different products.
This is where UV flatbed printing becomes useful. It supports direct printing without making screens or traditional plates. Designs can be changed quickly, and different materials can be printed more flexibly.
For customers in advertising, packaging, gifts and decoration markets, this can help create more business opportunities.
6. How The 2513 UV Flatbed Printer Helps Reduce Lost Orders
Many print shops lose orders because the products are not easy to print. The customer may ask, “Can you print on these items?” If the shop is not sure about height, positioning or material handling, the safest answer may be no.
But every rejected order is also a missed opportunity.
With the AUDLEY 2513 UV flatbed printer, businesses can take on more difficult orders with greater confidence. The large platform supports different product sizes, while automatic scanning and positioning help improve printing accuracy. For operators, this means fewer manual alignment problems. For business owners, it means more order types can be accepted.
This is especially important in customized product markets. Customers are looking for unique products, not only standard flat boards. They may need branding on product samples, logos on gifts, patterns on packaging or designs on special materials.
A printer that can handle more complicated layouts helps a business become more competitive.
7. What Customers Should Prepare Before Printing
Even with automatic scanning and positioning, good preparation is still important for stable UV printing.
Before printing, operators should check whether the product surface is clean and stable. Dust, oil or moisture may affect adhesion. Some special materials may require surface treatment or primer depending on the final application.
Objects should be placed securely on the platform to avoid movement during printing. If the product is too light or unstable, a fixture or support may still be needed.
The artwork should also match the real product size and printing area. A high-resolution design file can help maintain sharp details and better color performance.
A good workflow usually includes:
Material cleaning
Object placement
Automatic scanning
Position confirmation
Test printing when needed
Final production printing
Quality checking after printing
When these steps are managed well, high-difference UV printing becomes much easier to control.
