UV Printing on Acrylic

vibrant colors, sharp details, and durable prints. Acrylic substrates are ideal for UV printing due to their smooth surface and ability to showcase intricate designs with exceptional clarity.

Advanced UV Printing Techniques

Mirror Image and White Ink Printing

For clear acrylic, print the image in a mirror image, then apply a white ink layer behind it. This allows for a vivid, opaque appearance when viewed from the front, while the back can also be printed for a double-sided effect.  This is often referred to as the “oreo cookie” technique”

Pro Tip: Add a black imprint layer between the images to block out light and prevent the back image from showing through the front. This technique ensures the highest quality and sharpness of the front-facing graphic. 

Upsell Opportunity: Many businesses leave the back of the acrylic blank, but by printing the same or a different image on the reverse side, you can offer customers a more comprehensive and visually appealing product.

 

Backlit Graphics

Utilize backlighting to enhance acrylic graphics. Print graphics with UV ink and place them against a light source to create a striking, illuminated effect.
