Tactile & visible
Textures are not only seen, but felt. Ideal for premium signage, art, and interior applications.
✨ Innovative UV Relief Printing
2.5D UV Printing
Tactile Depth on Flat Materials
Give your design literal depth with 2.5D UV print. We build UV ink layers into tactile relief directly on materials such as glass, wood, dibond, and acrylic.

What is 2.5D UV print?
2.5D print sits between 2D and 3D: a flat substrate with tactile height and structure. It combines the clean base of print with the experience of relief.
Direct-to-substrate
We print directly on the material, without extra carriers or films, delivering a clean and durable result.
Creative freedom
From subtle brushstroke to expressive pattern: the height map controls exactly where relief appears.
How does 2.5D printing work?
Design + height map
We start with your artwork and translate depth into a digital height map. This controls exactly where relief is needed.
Build layers with UV/LED
The printer applies UV ink layer by layer. Around 40 layers are built per millimetre of relief for controlled, precise structure.
Instant curing and finishing
Each layer is instantly cured with UV/LED. We can then optionally finish with a matte or gloss coating.
Suitable substrates
2.5D UV print works on many flat materials. The right choice depends on application, look, adhesion, and finishing requirements.

Popular applications
Interior panels
Walls with leather look, stone texture, or artistic patterns for hospitality and retail.
Art reproductions
Printed artwork with tactile brushstrokes and depth, without sacrificing detail.
Branding & signage
Logos, wayfinding, and brand carriers with relief for premium impact and attention.
The finishing touch
Every 2.5D UV print is finished as standard with a gloss coating. This protective layer preserves the relief and gives the print a premium, depth-enhancing appearance.
