UV Flatbed Printers

UV flatbed printing is a digital printing process that uses UV light to cure special UV-sensitive inks directly onto a flat surface. This technology allows for printing on a wide range of rigid materials, including glass, metal, wood, and plastics.

How Does UV Flatbed Printing Work?

1. Ink Application: The UV printer applies the ink to the flat surface using piezoelectric printheads.
2. UV Curing: As the ink is applied, UV lamps immediately cure it, solidifying the ink and creating a durable, scratch-resistant finish.
3. Instant Drying: Unlike traditional printing methods, UV flatbed printing eliminates the need for drying time, allowing for faster production.
