UV inkjet printing utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to cure ink as it is applied to a substrate, ensuring rapid drying and durability. This technology allows for vibrant colors and is compatible with diverse materials such as plastics, glass, and metals. It finds extensive application in signage, packaging, labeling, and industrial printing due to its high-quality results and strong adhesion, as well as resistance to fading and abrasion.

There are two primary types of UV inkjet printing solid inkjet and liquid inkjet. Solid inkjet employs solid ink blocks melted into liquid form within the printer and ejected through nozzles onto paper or other substrates. This versatile technology spans commercial and household uses, serving various industries including advertising, packaging, textiles, automotive, manufacturing, and more.
