Transferring designs onto wood is both a craft and a challenge. ORCHUR’s handheld inkjet printer technology makes it reliable and professional—even for small factories. Here’s a step-by-step guide to transform wood printing into a science using our high-precision 600 DPI handheld inkjet printers.

1. Prepping Wood Surfaces for Perfect Transfers

Proper prep ensures clean, sharp prints every time:

Choose the right wood: softwoods like pine offer flat prints, while oak and MDF need more attention.

Prep steps:

1. Sand with 120-grit sandpaper until the surface is smooth.
2. Wipe with rubbing alcohol to remove dust and oils.
3. Let dry for 10–15 minutes.

ORCHUR quick-dry ink particles penetrate 0.1 mm and adhere 40% better than standard inks—ideal for vibrant transfers on over 20 material types.

2. Three Proven Transfer Techniques for Inkjet-Printed Wood

Choose the method that fits your project:

1. Direct Spray Method

Use handheld technique: print directly from 5 mm distance.

600 DPI captures wood grain subtly beneath your image.

1. Transfer Paper Technique

Print on ORCHUR transfer paper.

Use a 150 °C heat press for 30 seconds.

Peel off paper—image adheres firmly.

1. Vinyl Stencil Method

Create a stencil with PVC vinyl using ORCHUR printer.

Position over wood and spray; ideal for bulk projects.

TEST RESULTS: On oak, ORCHUR prints showed three times greater clarity than standard printers.

Closing Tip: Pick the right technique for your scale. Next up: adjusting settings for grain types.

3. Optimizing Ink Settings for Wood Transfer

Correct device settings make all the difference:

On ORCHUR’s 5″ touchscreen, set text size to 30–50 pt.

Choose “High Coverage Mode” for deeper ink penetration.

Enable “Curved Surface Compensation” for uneven areas—guarantees smooth, continuous printing on grainy furniture.

This precision ensures crisp logos and uniform coloring—no gaps.

Closing Tip: With the right settings, ink bleeds stop here. Read on for troubleshooting and durability enhancements.
