UV printing
UV printing lays ink directly on the object and cures it instantly with UV light, bonding it to almost any rigid material: plastic, metal, wood, glass, acrylic, leather. Beyond CMYK, our MIMAKI printer adds white and varnish, so we can print on colored or transparent objects and create gloss and relief effects.
How it works
- 01Place the object on the printer bed
- 02Print in layers: white → CMYK → varnish
- 03Instant cure under the UV lamp
- 04Check — the ink is already set, no drying time
Good to know
UV printing lays ink directly on the object and cures it instantly with UV light, with no drying time. It bonds to almost any rigid material — plastic, metal, wood, glass, acrylic, leather — and our MIMAKI printer adds white and varnish on top of CMYK. In practice we can print on colored or transparent objects and create gloss or relief effects.
The only requirement is that the surface be flat or near-flat, with a height of up to 50 mm. It's perfect for power banks, phone cases, plates, wooden or glass items and flat promo. The print is scratch- and water-resistant, and the minimum quantity is low — it works for single-piece personalization too.
Advantages
- Prints on dark, colored or transparent surfaces
- Gloss and relief (raised) effects
- Scratch and water resistant
- Low MOQ, no drying time
