UV Printing FAQ
Frequently asked questions about UV print technology, materials, quality and applications.
What is UV printing?
UV printing is a digital inkjet process where special inks are cured instantly by ultraviolet light, producing durable, vivid prints on almost any material.
What materials can you print on?
We support 300+ materials including metal, wood, acrylic, glass, ceramic, stone, leather, canvas, plastics and coated substrates.
How durable are UV prints?
Cured UV inks are scratch-, chemical- and UV‑resistant. Typical outdoor lifespan 3–5 years without lamination, longer indoors.
What is 3D texture UV printing?
By printing multiple controlled layers we build tactile relief up to 5mm height with variable gloss, matte and varnish effects.
Do you print white and varnish?
Yes. We use CMYK + White + Clear Varnish for opacity, spot effects and protective or glossy finishes.

We handle single prototypes up to medium runs. Contact us for tiered pricing above 250 pieces.
Is UV printing environmentally friendly?
UV curing emits no solvent VOCs, uses energy‑efficient LED lamps and produces minimal waste vs. traditional methods.
