Our UV Printing service is marketed towards professional graphic designers, self taught or anyone that operates a business that will provide this to an end client that is well versed in operating graphic design programs suited to preparing the artwork that can be supplied to us for printing.
We can print on items up to 2440×1600, this includes our full range of Acrylic, PVC and Plywood.

How does it work you ask?
We are now only taking orders via email, you may request templates from us for specific products, and we now have new minimum purchases required.
All the text that you would usually apply with vinyl, can be done much easier by using our UV Printer, its like a printer for paper, but for acrylic. It is permanent though, once printed it cannot be removed without using chemicals, which can also ruin the acrylic. It is best to consider this a consumable item. If you wish to recycle, we can take it and put it in our recycle bin, or you can just let your customers keep it as a memento.
Please ensure you read all the information below.

Once you have submitted your artwork for printing, we consider this to be final, we will not accept changes beyond this point and will require additional payment for reprinting if any changes are required.
Colours may be set in the artwork for text, graphics as required etc, meaning we can print pretty well any colour as well as vectorised graphics, photos etc. We do convert the colours to a Roland Spot colour library, so some slight variation in colour is to be expected, if you wish to familiarize yourself with this spot colour library, you may download it here to install in illustrator (CorelDraw is installed by default). That way you can see and match the exact shade you require. When specifying it in the email, you may specify either as per artwork, meaning that you have selected a colour that is not Black or White and would like it printed in that. Simply specify black or white if it is to be either of those.
The download of the template will expire in 5 days from purchase, do not use the same template for reoccurring orders, this allows us to modify or update the file as required.
