UV printing is a printing process that uses ultraviolet curing technology. Also known as “ultraviolet printing,” the UV printing process uses inks that have been specially formulated to dry instantaneously when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. Because the UV light dries the ink instantly, the ink does not have the opportunity to seep or spread. As a result, images and text print in sharper detail.
UV printing offers many benefits for printed forms, including:
High-quality prints: UV printing produces high-quality prints with sharp text and vibrant colors, making it ideal for printing forms that require precise and legible information.
Faster printing speeds: UV printing dries instantly, allowing for faster printing speeds and shorter turnaround times, which is especially important for time-sensitive forms.
Versatility: UV printing can be used on a variety of materials, including paper, cardstock, and even plastic, allowing for a versatile range of form types to be printed.
Durability: UV printing is resistant to fading and scratching, making it a durable option for forms that need to withstand handling and use over time.
Customization: UV printing can be used to print unique designs and branding elements onto forms, adding a personalized touch and improving brand recognition.
Environmentally friendly: UV printing is an eco-friendly option as it produces no VOC emissions and uses less energy compared to traditional printing methods.
