As summer quietly approaches, various portable fans have become necessities for people. The Shang Dynasty is the earliest period in my country to have fans. Initially, the materials for making fans were limited; they were generally made of colorful chicken feathers and called "zhangshan" (障扇), used by the ancient imperial family to shield themselves from the sun and sandstorms during their tours. Later, fans were improved and spread to merchants and ordinary people. Especially after the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, people discovered more uses for them, such as cooling themselves and for decoration. Feather fans were often made of silk and other textiles, adorned with hand-embroidered paintings. There were also fans made of Xuan paper, requiring numerous manual processes such as painting and drying. Even today, top printing technology has replaced the tedious and time-consuming manual labor.

The Top Printing UV flatbed printer has no restrictions on the shape of the fans it prints. It can print rectangular, square, round, oval, or even fan-shaped, hexagonal, peach-shaped, or oval fans, etc. Operation is simple: just place the fan to be printed on the printing platform, start the machine, and it will automatically align and print the image. It's very convenient. Top Printing Technology also provides free training for new users, arranging professional staff to teach how to use the software, how to operate the machine, how to perform daily maintenance, and other necessary technical guidance.
All materials are compatible, and customization is limitless.
The Top Printing UV flatbed printer has a very wide printing range, capable of printing on different types and materials of fans, including fan surfaces, handles, and ribs.
