Introduction One of the most appealing features of UV printing is its flexibility in material compatibility. This white paper explores the wide range of substrates suitable for UV printers and the industries benefiting from this versatility.
Material Compatibility UV printers can print on:
- Plastic (Acrylic, PVC, ABS)
- Glass and Mirrors
- Wood and MDF
- Metal (Aluminum, Steel, Brass)
- Ceramics and Tiles
- Leather and PU
- Paperboard and Packaging Cartons
- Textiles (limited cases with flatbed printers)
Why Is UV Printing So Versatile? UV-curable inks don’t rely on absorption. Instead, the ink forms a solid layer on the substrate’s surface, allowing printing on both absorbent and non-absorbent materials.
Industrial Use Cases
- Promotional product customization
- Signage and displays
- Phone case and electronics decoration
- Home decor and furniture
- Industrial labeling and panel printing
Conclusion UV printers unlock a new world of material freedom, enabling businesses to diversify their product offerings and enter new markets with a single machine.
