Hi Doug

Tricky one. You can get digital printers that will print pens but I am fairly confident in saying that there is no printer that currently prints the whole barrel.

Ones out there are some DTG printers and some smaller UV printers, but they tend to only print 1 side of a pen.

The problem is there is not much call for such a machine. I can purchase printed pens from as little as 6p per pen from the likes of the Pen Warehouse so why bother investing £££££'s in a digital machine. Customers don't want it.

Having said that, you may have a secret idea which I genuinely wish you every success, you may be better following a route of locating blank white pens that you can wrap with UV printed vinyl.

possible if you could find white pens in the right kind of polymer you could use a vacuum heat press and then sublimate them - may take two pressings to get a whole wrap around, and need a jig making to hold them.
