UV Printing
UV printing is a digital method where ink is instantly cured by ultraviolet light, allowing print on rigid materials like glass, acrylic, wood, and metal.
Detail
UV printing produces full-colour, one-pass decoration on virtually any flat surface without primers.
Typical uses: gifts, signage, acrylic panels, wood items, photo prints on rigid boards.
Durability: UV-cured ink resists water, scratching, and UV exposure better than solvent inks.
