What Is a UV Flatbed Printer?
A UV flatbed printer is a digital printing machine that prints directly onto suitable flat or rigid materials. UV-curable ink is deposited onto the surface and cured using ultraviolet light during the printing process.
Unlike conventional paper printers, UV flatbed systems can be used for many applications involving rigid substrates such as acrylic, MDF, wood, PVC, glass, metal and other compatible materials. The exact materials that can be printed depend on the printer, ink system, surface condition and manufacturer's specifications.
