Lanyards are incredibly popular, and a common question is whether they can be personalised easily with the GoPrinter Handheld Printer. The answer? Absolutely. Let’s explore how to get the best results and some tips for using the GoPrinter to personalise lanyards.
Watch the process in the below video:
Testing the GoPrinter on a Lanyard Ribbon
First up, the big test, does the GoPrinter Handheld Printer work on lanyard ribbons? We set it up and ran a quick test, printing along the ribbon. The results were clear: the GoPrinter easily handles printing on lanyard material, making it a great tool for adding a personalized touch.
Can It Really Print Over 2 Meters?
The GoPrinter is advertised to print up to 2 meters continuously. To test this claim, we secured a strip of masking tape on a hard surface as a printing guide. Surprisingly, the GoPrinter managed to print a full 2.1 meters. That’s slightly more than advertised—a big plus if you’re looking to personalise longer lengths.
Setting Up for Long Prints
Now, the GoPrinter is designed with a guide for shorter, singular prints. But we decided to go for a continuous print over 2 meters. Here’s how to set up for that:
- Secure the Lanyard: Fix the lanyard to a hard surface using double-sided tape.
- Create a Guide Rail: Place a solid 2-meter-long piece of material (steel, aluminum, wood, or any other sturdy option) behind the lanyard to act as a guide rail.
Adjusting Settings for Continuous Printing
To get the most out of your continuous print, set the GoPrinter to “Continuous Printing.” Follow these steps:
- Go to the print settings and select “Continuous.”
- Adjust the spacing and set the number of repeats. For a 2-meter print, we set ours to 100 repeats.
After making these adjustments, the GoPrinter effortlessly created meters of personalized lanyard ribbon within minutes.
