UV printing on acrylic and other rigid materials

How direct UV printing works

Direct UV printing lays UV inks onto the material (acrylic, foamed PVC, wood…) and a UV LED lamp built into the print head cures them instantly. The ink bonds to the surface with no need for vinyl or adhesives.

Capacity

• Large-format printer with a print area of 3050 × 2050 mm.
• Full-colour printing, with white and depth effects.
• From a single unit to production runs.

Reverse (mirror-image) printing

On clear acrylic we print on the back face in mirror image: the design is seen through the material, protected and with a sense of depth. We can add a white or black backing for extra contrast, as on the plaques made for PUVENSA and Splendor Comunicación.

What we make with UV printing

• Acrylic plaques with text, logos and graphics: signs and wayfinding, shop opening hours, inauguration plaques, and plaques for pharmacies, estate agents and offices.
• Control panels and fascias, industrial keypads and electrical and electronic components, such as the 703 × 192 × 3 mm control panel made for SURTUCK or the fire-fighting equipment control panel for Iturri.
• Personalised awards and trophies.
• Personalised housings, screens and machine guards.
• Displays and dispensers carrying the brand’s identity.

See examples under plaques and signage and awards and trophies.

UV printing combined with other techniques

We combine printing with laser cutting to cut the part to shape, and with CNC machining for the fixing holes. That way the part reaches you ready to install.
