UV Printing Explained
When you need vibrancy that sticks – on acrylic, metal, wood, or even glass – UV printing brings the heat (well, technically the UV light). It’s our go-to method for high-detail, full-colour prints on hard-to-print surfaces. Whether it’s for signage, promo gear, or that “holy sh*t, how’d they print that?!” effect, UV does what others can’t.
Artwork Prep.
We start by processing your artwork through RIP (Raster Image Processor) software. This is where we fine-tune colour profiles, define white ink layers, and calibrate resolution to match the substrate. It’s the techy magic that turns screen visuals into flawless, print-ready files.
Ink Drop.
Next, our piezoelectric print heads get to work, jetting UV-curable ink directly onto your product with surgical precision. The ink sits right on top of the surface, so you get rich colour, crisp lines, and no bleeding (even on slick or unusual materials).
Instant UV Cure.
As the ink hits the surface, UV lamps trail behind each pass, instantly hardening and drying the design. This on-the-spot curing means no smudges, zero downtime, and a finish that’s ready to go the moment it’s done printing.
Custom Finish.
Here’s where we level up. Want layered ink for a raised, tactile effect? A glossy pop? Matte understatement? We customise the finish to suit your look – whether it’s sleek and subtle or bold and textured.
Ready to go ultra with UV?
This isn’t just another way to slap ink on stuff. It’s a creative upgrade. A brand flex. A way to turn everyday items into “where’d-you-get-that” moments. If your brand’s all about the little details that leave a big impression, UV is your secret weapon.
