UV Printing & Full-Colour Personalization

Where the laser leaves a monochrome mark, our UV flatbed printer lays down photographic colour — CMYK plus white and gloss — and cures it instantly under ultraviolet light so it bonds directly to the surface. It is how we put a full-colour photograph on cast acrylic, a family crest on a crystal decanter, or artwork on a glazed ceramic tile.

Typical uses

  • ◆Photo plaques and memorial keepsakes
  • ◆Pet portraits from your own photo
  • ◆Family crests and monograms on glass decanters
  • ◆Full-colour art tiles and gifts
  • ◆Colour logos where engraving would lose the brand palette
