When using an LEF Series Printer, a jig will make it easier to print onto irregular shapes and products. Jigs are also handy for speeding up production set-up and for edge-to-edge printing with a bleed on the items. A jig is a device that holds a piece (or pieces) of work and guides the tool operating on it. Essentially, a jig is a template to help you locate items on the bed of your printer, assisting with repeatability and accuracy.


A jig can be as simple as using bottle tops or an empty egg carton while printing spherical items, or even Blu Tac to secure unstable items in place. A jig can also be more complicated, such as making a base plate with pods for items of different sizes so they all sit at the same height. This can save time in the long run, for instance, while investing in a rotary unit makes printing cylindrical items a breeze.

Our latest easy-to-follow video shows you the options for creating a jig, when to use it and how your specific requirements will dictate what tools you use to make one:
