types of printing and applications

Printing on backlit material (backlit, milk plexiglass, Petg)

To achieve the desired effect of backlit graphics, it is necessary to use a double layer of printing. For this purpose, a double layer of UV printing is used, so that the colors do not lose their intensity after illumination and remain well saturated.

Printing on dark materials (black colored materials like furniture boards, pvc)

Unlike printing predominantly white materials, an additional step is required. To achieve the desired effect and the printed design does not lose color saturation, a white primer is used as the first layer of printing. As a result, the colors are intense and clear.

Lenticular printing

involves printing images on special sheets that have a lenticular layer or convex surface, resulting in a three-dimensional or moving effect depending on the viewing angle. So it is a printing technique that uses lenses to achieve a three-dimensional effect.

Printing with varnish - UV varnishing

is one of the most popular methods of print enhancement. The process itself is not complicated - the plane of the sheet is covered with varnish selectively or all over. The varnish layer is fixed by UV radiation. Depending on the customer's wishes, it is possible to obtain a gloss, semi-matte, matte and Drop Gloss effect Such treatment not only gives the print an additional visual effect, but also provides protection of the print from damage and ink abrasion.

Printing with white color

White color is often used for printing on transparent materials (transparent film, plexiglass). It can serve not only as a primary color, but is also used as a subprint for color graphics, thus providing better color coverage and eliminating the transparency of printing.

CMYK printing

a printing technique that uses the four primary colors-black (K), cyan (C), magenta (M) and yellow (Y)-to blend and create a full range of colors. Each color is applied to the material in the correct proportion to achieve the desired color effect. To increase the printing color possibilities and get better results our Swiss UV Led printing plotter has an additional white color and orange color.

Printing on ecological materials

is the process of printing on materials that are environmentally friendly. Depending on the supplier, these materials can be made from recycled or natural raw materials. Printing on eco-friendly materials is increasingly popular because it helps reduce the environmental impact of printing
