DS Company in Azerbaijan offers a wide range of printing services, including printing on hard materials. Our skilled and experienced specialists print on surfaces such as PVC, composite, metal, laminated chipboard, acrylic, glass, ceramics, and more.
For printing on hard materials, we use a unique ultraviolet technology, similar in its properties to inkjet printing. Modern UV inks harden under the influence of ultraviolet rays, which causes a film of the appropriate thickness to adhere to the base material. These unique UV inks are manufactured in-house using radiation and polemizing compounds and substances.
A distinctive feature is the irreversible polymerization process, which produces a rich color. The inks are resistant to chemicals and liquids, leaving them virtually unchanged for many years. They also have excellent adhesion properties.
Convenient to use
DS specialists have identified a number of advantages when using inks designed for printing on hard materials:
- A single-component composition that does not contain an evaporating element allows the applied ink to harden instantly;
- Does not require additional solvents or other chemical compounds;
- Hardens quickly when exposed to ultraviolet rays.
- The ink retains its original appearance even after years.
Individual Features
Despite the many features and advantages of UV inks, there are still some differences or differences when in contact with various solid materials:
- Printing on PVC plastic. Often used to create advertising elements. UV printing on flexible PVC plastic makes it easy to apply designs or achieve full-color printing. This reduces the risk of image distortion. PVC printing can be used to create signs for indoor placement, on building facades, and for branding office spaces.
- Printing on plywood or wood. Inks are widely used for printing on wood and plywood as a decorative element. Using such elements, you can create a unique design that will stand out with its original colors.
- Cardboard is a popular material that has earned trust due to its strength and lightness. UV printing on it adheres perfectly and produces a unique shade and depth of color. It is used for advertising products, promotional items, stands, and booths. DS professionals in Baku recommend using white cardboard. It will produce images with sharper edges.
- Foamboard is an economical material used for creating advertising materials. Professionals recommend choosing foamboard no more than 10 mm thick from a solid color range.
- Composite panels or aluminum sheets. Any design, logo, or other emblem looks attractive and appealing on them. UV-printed composite panels are often used for finishing facades, shopping centers, and other large buildings.
- Acrylic and plexiglass allow for unique and surprising design solutions, especially when combined into a single composition.
