UV print technology may sound like the wave of the future, but it’s actuallybeen around for at least the past 10 years. Unlike traditional inks that dry by soaking into the substrate and evaporating in the air, UV LED inks dry when they’re exposed to ultraviolet light. Not only is the end result crisper and cleaner, but it is also much more versatile. UV printing can work on a wide variety of different substrates that go far beyond plain old paper.
Old-school UV printers may have been exceedingly large and expensive, but technological developments have made cutting-edge UV printerseconomical in both size and price. A small-format flatbed printer can easily fit right on your desktop, ready for any action you send its way. And there’s plenty of action you can give it.
An immense array of commercial and industrial applications can easily become a reality with the use of a UV printer. It can print the same photos, logos, text, illustrations, diagrams or other images as a standard printer, but with a higher-quality, durable, UV-resistant end product that is less prone to chipping, flaking and fading.
