Printable materials and restrictions
Basically, you can print on any object that fits the printing area and is mostly flat. Please note that the ink is not suitable for food related producs. There are also some limitations with reflective surfaces.
Surface texture
The print object must not be reflective, otherwise the curing light from the UV lamp will be directed back onto the print head.
Unevenness on the object
Slight unevenness on the print object up to approx. 2 mm is okay. Even round objects (e.g. ballpoint pens, golf balls) can be printed.
As the print head moves over the entire object, only smooth surfaces can be printed.
Printing with special inks and varnish
Our UV printer has different ink configurations. The possible ink configurations are as follows:
- CMYK + Gloss + White
- CMYK + Primer + White (Primer must be ordered on request)
- CMYK + White + White
The color white can also be used to print on dark objects. In addition, white can also be used as a primer, so that the colours will look more brillant;
With the varnish function a matt or glossy finish can be added to the printed product. A special embosing technique makes it possible to create tactile surfaces. Thus for example a surface structure can be realized or Braille can be produced.
