UV Flatbed

Brand Name:- Shori Chemicals

Description:

A UV flatbed printer is an advanced digital printing machine that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure inks as they are printed onto a wide range of rigid and flexible materials. This technology allows for high-quality, durable, and instant-drying prints, making it a popular choice for signage, promotional items, and industrial printing applications.

How Does a UV Flatbed Printer Work?

1. Ink Deposition – The printer uses inkjet nozzles to spray UV-curable ink onto the surface of the material.

2. UV Curing – Special UV LED lamps immediately cure (harden) the ink, allowing it to dry instantly.

3. Layered Printing (Optional) – The process can be repeated in multiple layers to create textured, embossed, or 3D effects.
