Printing on Cylindrical Objects with the XpertJet 661UF Rotary Attachment
If you already use the XpertJet 661UF, you know it’s a compact, reliable UV printer built for crisp, detailed prints on flat materials, everything from ADA signage to promotional items. But there’s more this printer can do.
With the rotary attachment, you can take your creativity off the flatbed and start printing directly on cylindrical objects like tumblers, candles, and bottles. It’s an easy upgrade that opens up a whole new range of products and possibilities, all while using the same printer you already know and trust.
Discover What the Rotary Attachment Can Do
The rotary attachment is an optional accessory for the XpertJet 661UF that replaces the standard table with a rotating fixture. It holds your item in place while it turns under the printhead, letting you print seamless, 360° designs on round or curved surfaces.
It’s simple to install and easy to use, but it’s also built with serious capability. It can print on objects up to 14 inches long, handle items weighing up to 2.2 pounds, and fit diameters between 1.18 and 4.72 inches.
In short, it turns your flatbed into a direct-to-object cylindrical printer, no new machine required.
What You Can Print and How It Adds Value
Once the rotary unit is attached, the number of things you can print on expands dramatically. From everyday items to specialty products, this accessory lets you bring full-color graphics, text, and textures to places you couldn’t before.
Let’s look at a few examples of how this upgrade can create new business opportunities.
Personalized Drinkware
Customized tumblers, water bottles are everywhere, from corporate gifts to event giveaways. With the rotary attachment, you can produce full-color, wraparound designs that look professionally finished and last through daily use.
For sign shops or print businesses, this means you’re no longer limited to flat signage. You can easily branch out into branded merchandise and personalized drinkware that clients actually use and show off.
Premium Bottles and Packaging
Boutique producers and small brands love standing out with unique packaging—and printing directly on bottles or tubes is a great way to do it. The rotary attachment makes it easy to add branding or artwork to wine bottles, cosmetic tubes, or decorative candles without using labels.
Designers can also use it to create packaging prototypes that look and feel like the final product. Plus, because the XpertJet 661UF includes white ink, you can print on dark or clear materials with vivid, consistent color.
It’s a smart way to elevate your product line or help clients present their products with a premium, custom look.
Décor and Lifestyle Products
This setup isn’t limited to packaging or drinkware. You can also print directly on candles, soap dispensers, or storage jars, great for boutique brands or makers who want to offer personalized home décor or gift items.
Seasonal collections, wedding favors, or limited-edition runs become easy to produce in-house, without needing to outsource. It’s a creative way to add value and variety to your product mix.
Promotional and Corporate Gifts
If you serve clients who need promotional products, the rotary attachment helps you produce high-quality, short-run items quickly. Think branded bottles, travel mugs, or giveaway products with clean, vibrant logos that hold up over time.
It’s a professional finish that looks and feels premium, something your clients will notice and appreciate.
No matter your market, sign shops, custom product makers, or print-on-demand businesses, adding cylindrical printing gives you more ways to meet customer needs and capture new revenue.
Why It’s Worth Adding to Your Setup
The biggest benefit of the rotary attachment is how easily it expands what your UV flatbed printer can do. You’re not buying a new printer, you’re building on the one you already have.
This one accessory lets you offer more products, appeal to new customers, and increase profits, all while maintaining the same high print quality the XpertJet 661UF is known for.
For smaller print shops, that kind of flexibility is key. When trends shift or a client wants something new, you’ll have the tools to say yes without adding a major investment.
