UV Printing
UV-cured inks that set instantly. Fast dry, high gloss and a durable print film.
- Instant UV cure
- High gloss and durability
- Strong holdout on tough surfaces
Overview
UV printing uses inks cured by ultraviolet light so the film hardens as soon as it hits the substrate. Instant dry, high gloss and scuff-resistant film help adhesion on difficult wraps (metallic, film-faced). Available on offset UV or digital UV lines. Luxury cosmetics and retail boxes often pair vivid color with a gloss finish; matte UV or spot UV coating can complete the stack.
