Abstract
A direct to shape (DTS) printer including a plurality of inkjet print head channels configured to deposit ink on an external surface of the vessel and a pinning lamp configured to provide light having a first peak power density to at least partially cure the ink deposited on the surface of the vessel is disclosed. The DTS printer can also include a rotary drive assembly configured to rotate the vessel relative to the plurality of inkjet print head channels, and a final curing lamp configured to provide light having a second peak power density to fully cure the ink deposited on the surface of the vessel.
