What is UV printing?

UV printing is a form of digital printing that uses a UV ink that, once exposed to the wavelengths of UV light, cures into a solid film that bonds firmly directly to the substrate. Originally developed to quickly dry gel nail polish during a manicure, UV applications quickly expanded into the industrial and commercial markets. Because UV cures any printing ink immediately, dots of wet ink have no chance to spread after printing, resulting in finer detail. In addition, UV-cured inks are weather resistant and have greater resistance to fading. This curing process is more environmentally friendly because it produces very little VOC, odor and heat. Aluminum. In fact, this UV flatbed printer is compatible with most substrates up to 2 inches thick! We love UV printing. It's fast curing, high quality, durable and flexible.

 

When is UV printing the right choice?

1. When environmental impact is a concern

Because evaporation is minimized, much less volatile organic compounds are released into the environment than with other inks.

UV printing uses a photomechanical process to cure the ink, rather than drying it by evaporation.

 

2. When it's a rush job

Because there is no need to wait for the evaporation process, UV inks do not shorten the downtime of other inks as they dry. This saves time and gets your artwork to market faster.

 

3. When a specific look is needed

UV printing is ideal for projects that require one of two appearances.

A crisp, sharp look on uncoated stock, or the satin look of coated stock. Of course, that doesn't mean the other look can't be accomplished. Talk to your print representative to see if UV is right for your project.

 

4. When smudges or wear are a problem

The fact that UV printing dries immediately ensures that no matter how quickly you need to get your hands on it, the artwork won't get smudged and a UV coating can be applied to prevent wear and tear.

 

5. When printing on plastic or non-porous substrates

UV inks can dry directly on the surface of the material. Because the ink solvent does not need to be absorbed into the raw material, UV can print on materials where conventional ink cannot be used.
