UV Inkjet printing involves strategically positioned nozzles ejecting thousands of ink drops per second at precise times onto the substrate.

After the image has been set, a UV light cures the ink, ensuring a durable solution typically performed in chemically harsh environments without needing an over-laminate or topcoat.

The concept of inkjet printer solution originated in the 20th century, and the technology was first extensively developed in the early 1950s. While working at Canon in Japan, Ichiro Endo came up with the idea for a “Bubble jet” printer, while around the same time, Jon Vaught at HP was developing a similar idea.

Additionally, there is greater flexibility and economies of scale for customers requiring low volume, high mix colour printing because there aren’t minimum colour restraints, therefore making it ideal for short runs requiring variable data.

UV Inkjet technology has a faster registration and typically provides more consistent output than other printing methods.
