What is UV printing technology?
What is UV printing technology? UV printing is a technology that directly sprays UV ink onto materials and immediately dries it using UV lamps (UV LED lamps or mercury UV lamps). UV printers usually use industrial print heads to ensure durability and sharpness similar to offset printing.
Currently worldwide, UV printing technology is gradually replacing printing products using solvent ink, dye, and other technologies. Multinational brands such as McDonald’s, HSBC, AEON Mall, have all applied advertising product standards like signboards and light boxes, which must be printed on genuine UV printers.
Why is this so? Currently, UV ink is produced under strict environmental protection processes, and genuine UV ink is much more environmentally friendly than traditional advertising inks. Additionally, the print quality is as sharp as offset printing with color effects that faithfully meet the strict quality standards of international multinational corporation designs. Solvent and dye ink printers can hardly compete in quality, durability, and color compared to products printed by UV printers.
The trend of UV printers worldwide is already evident. In Vietnam, STV is pleased to have supplied UV printing technology to major companies – partners of multinational brands in Vietnam. Customers can learn more about UV printers such as flatbed UV printers, roll-to-roll UV printers, and hybrid UV printers, also known as multifunction UV printers.
+ Flatbed UV printers: also called flat printers, are UV printers with a flat printing bed usually rectangular or square, with sizes such as 40x60cm, 100x120cm, 130x250cm... Flatbed UV printers produce the best prints on flat materials like Alu, mica, foam board, glass, wood, ceramic tiles, 3M decals, premium hiflex tarpaulin, PP, backlit, and more.
