UV Printing

Made-To-Order

What is UV Printing?

UV printing is a cutting-edge digital printing technology that uses ultraviolet light to instantly cure ink on the surface of materials like acrylic, metal, and glass. At Siam P&W Technic, we deliver vibrant, durable, and eco-friendly prints directly onto non-absorbent surfaces—ideal for signage, packaging, and custom decorative work.

Samples and Applications

  • Keychain
  • Acrylic Stand

Our Advantages

  • Advanced Color Management & Quality Control

    We use ONYX RIP software combined with X-Rite i1 Pro spectrophotometer for precise color calibration, ensuring accurate Pantone color matching with approximately 84% coverage using our 6-color printing system (CMYK+Lc+Lm). Every job starts with proper color calibration to maintain consistency and quality. Our professional approach guarantees exceptional print quality up to 726×1440 dpi resolution with reliable color reproduction across all materials.

  • Exceptional Outdoor Durability

    Our UV prints using Taiwan eco-friendly UV-curable inks maintain vibrant colors for at least 3 years outdoors, making them ideal for signage and outdoor applications. The prints are UV-resistant, scratch-resistant, and waterproof. We use LED UV curing technology which is mercury-free, produces low VOC emissions, and uses up to 70% less energy than traditional mercury lamps—delivering superior durability while being environmentally responsible.

  • White Ink, Lc/Lm, and Varnish Capabilities

    Approximately 90% of our UV printing projects utilize white ink—either as an underbase for transparent materials like acrylic and glass, a foundation for printing on dark surfaces, or white-only printing effects. Our 6-color system (CMYK+Lc+Lm) creates smoother gradients, more saturated light colors, and better skin tones compared to standard 4-color printing. We also offer spot varnish or full-surface varnish application in a single pass, adding protection, dimension, and visual interest to your prints.

  • Versatile Material Compatibility

    Our two Docan H1000 UV printers can handle materials up to 100mm thick and print areas as large as 1200×2400mm. We work with acrylic, metal (stainless steel, aluminum), glass, wood, leather (PU), and many other rigid materials. While we can print on most rigid substrates, some materials require special considerations—reflective materials, glass, and certain plastics (PP/PC) may need special handling. We provide material consultation and testing to ensure optimal results for your specific application.

Layering Process

Combining layers of inks on different printing surfaces, we can achieve various effects that meet different applications.

  • Print on surface without white ink

    Layering: Color → Acrylic

  • Print on surface

    Layering: Color → White → Acrylic

  • Print on back-face

    Layering: Acrylic ← Color ← White

  • Print with clear ink (varnish)

    Layering: Varnish → Color → White → Acrylic

  • Print double sided on one face

    Layering: Color → White → White → Color → Acrylic

    Note: Please specify to print on front face or back face in the design file.

  • Print double sided on both faces

    Layering: Color → White → Acrylic ← White ← Color

    Note: Back-face printing can be in either "White + Color" or "Color + White" order, as shown in the video.

Special Effects

  • Sandwiched Between Two Acrylic Sheets

    Use UV glue to assemble two acrylic pieces together to seal and protect UV printed graphics

  • Sandblasting

    Acrylic is surface treated with fine sandblasting process to give the finished product a luxury touch

  • 3D Contour Texture

    By overlaying multiple layers of white ink, we can create 3D extruded texture
