UV printing (ultraviolet printing) is a digital printing method that uses ultraviolet lights to dry or cure ink as it is printed. As the printer distributes ink on a material, specially designed UV lights follow close behind, instantly curing—or drying—the ink, converting it from a liquid to a solid state.
Unlike traditional solvent inks that evaporate and release harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), UV inks cure instantly through a photochemical reaction. This makes the process faster, eco-friendly, and highly versatile since the ink does not have time to bleed or absorb into the material, resulting in exceptionally sharp details.
One of the major benefits of UV printing is its compatibility with rigid materials. We can print directly onto thick acrylic sheets, wood, glass, aluminum composite panels (ACP), and phone cases. This eliminates the step of printing on vinyl sticker rolls and laminating them onto boards, preventing bubbling and peeling.
For businesses in BSD, Gading Serpong, or Tangerang requiring outdoor billboards, parking lot signs, or menu boards, UV prints provide outstanding longevity. The inks contain UV inhibitors that protect against fading under sunlight. Contact AJM Creation to request samples of our UV prints on Acrylic Products.
FAQ
Q: Is UV printing scratch-resistant?
Yes. Once cured, UV ink is highly scratch-resistant and waterproof, meaning it does not require additional lamination for general use.
Q: Can you print white ink?
Absolutely. Our UV printers support high-opacity white ink printing, enabling vibrant color prints on transparent or colored materials.
