UV Printing

UV printing is a form of digital printing that uses ultra-violet lights to cure ink instantly to any material.

Our Machines

  • Mimaki UJF-6042MK Series 2, 1x

Any flat material up 594 x 420 mm in area and up to 153mm in height can be printed on.

More absorbent materials, e.g. plywood, may require a base coat of Primer ink to be printed.

For durability and sheen, print a top coat in Clear ink.
