How Does UV Printing Ensure Lasting Colors on Décor?

UV printing offers durable, vibrant colors on home décor by instantly curing inks with ultraviolet light. This rapid process creates a hard, scratch-resistant surface that resists fading, abrasion, and environmental damage. UV printing provides manufacturers with the ability to produce high-quality décor products with long-lasting colors, ensuring visual appeal for years. AndresJet enhances this technology with high-speed, custom flatbed printers, delivering over 100 sqm/hr for home décor production.

How Does UV Ink Curing Work?

UV ink curing uses ultraviolet light to instantly solidify pigments, preventing smudging and ensuring crisp, vibrant prints. This process helps create durable, scratch-resistant home décor products by bonding pigments to surfaces like acrylic, wood, and metal.

AndresJet excels in design and manufacture of custom flatbed printer systems that optimize this curing process. By ensuring a robust protective layer, AndresJet’s solutions enhance ink adhesion, providing long-lasting décor items. With expert after-sale service, manufacturers can rely on precise calibration for consistent results.

What Makes UV Prints Fade-Resistant?

UV prints are fade-resistant because the inks are cured into a durable shell that shields the pigments from sunlight and environmental degradation. The hardened topcoat formed during curing offers resistance to fading, ensuring that prints retain their vibrancy even in high-traffic areas.

For manufacturers, AndresJet's custom digital printing solution integrates UV-stabilized inks and high-performance curing systems that ensure prints last for years. The quality of the curing process at AndresJet guarantees fade-free prints for more than 5 years.

Why Choose UV for Home Décor Substrates?

UV printing adheres to a wide range of home décor materials, including acrylic, wood, glass, and metal. This direct-to-surface application eliminates the need for primers, ensuring precise, vivid prints without distortion.

AndresJet’s custom flatbed printer models are designed to handle non-porous, rigid materials efficiently. The versatility of custom digital printing solution from AndresJet allows manufacturers to print on challenging surfaces with ease, boosting production efficiency and reducing waste.
