UV printing has been around for about a decade, but the cost and size of the equipment has been prohibitive. Utilizing a low-watt LED UV light and specialized proprietary UV LED inks, DCS has made a breakthrough to bring this technology to a line of economical, small-format flatbed printers.
Direct Jet UV printers have solved print durability issues related to abrasion and solvents, while also delivering more effective, opaque white ink performance for higher-quality printing on dark materials. Our UV printers are designed for commercial and industrial products that will be viewed at an arm’s length, delivering crisp text and sharp, detailed images in vibrant color – no matter what substrate you’re printing on.
Substrates
Direct Jet prints directly onto surfaces including, but not limited to: wood, stainless steel, ceramic tiles, plastics, glass and aluminum. Our UV LED inks are very flexible and won’t crack or flake off, even in very flexible vinyl applications.
