DC9 Gifts Pte Ltd has in-house UV printers, such as the Roland LEF2-200, which offer several advantages over traditional corporate gifts printing methods such as silkscreen printing.
Here are some of the key advantages:
Versatility: UV printers can print on a wide variety of substrates which plastics, glass, metal, wood, and more. This makes them ideal for a range of applications, from printing on promotional items to creating custom signage. However, we always test print on these products first before mass production to ensure proper ink adhesion. Primers are used where necessary to promote ink adhesion.
High resolution: UV printers are capable of producing high-resolution prints with sharp details and vibrant colors due to advanced print head technology and the use of UV-curable inks. Traditional silkscreen printing method is not ideal for small details due to big ink droplets passing through the meshes.
Durability: Prints produced with UV printers are highly durable and resistant to fading, scratches, and water damage. This makes them ideal for outdoor use or applications where the print will be subjected to wear and tear. Primers have to be applied where necessary.
Quick drying: UV-curable inks dry almost instantly when exposed to UV light. This means that prints can be handled and finished immediately after printing, which can save time and reduce production costs. This advantage allows our company to immediately pack and ship the promotional items right after printing.
Environmentally friendly: UV printers produce very little VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions and generate less waste than traditional printing methods. This makes them a more environmentally friendly option.
Cost-effective: While UV printers can be more expensive upfront than traditional printing methods, they can be more cost-effective in the long run due to their versatility, durability, and efficiency.
