UV Printing - Direct to surface printing - now available in-house at SK Signs & Labels Ltd

We recently purchased a UV Printer, which allows us to print directly onto a wide range of materials, whether that be plastic, metal, wood or practically anything else as long as the surface is flat and not overly shiny.

Reverse Print on 10mm Clear Acrylic
We also have a rotary attachment, which means we can print onto spherical objects too.


The printing area is 1200mm x 590mm with a height of up to 200mm.
UV Flat Bed Printer


UV Flat Bed Printer
Print size up to 1200mm x 590mm










As the ink is laid onto the surface of  the material, the UV lamp cures the ink, making it UV stable and protecting the print, so lamination is not required. The prints can also be done in layers to create a raised texture to the design, which can be used for Braille signage.

Below are a few samples of items we have printed so far :-


Print direct to Dibond

Print to Foam Board

Braille print on Aluminium Composite Panel

Textured print on Dibond

Print onto Gold Acrylic

Print Direct to Foamex

Raised textured prints on Dibond

Textured print on a ceramic tile

Raised textured tread print

Gloss, White Background and No Background on Corian

Print direct to wood
Pricing will be similar to a laminated print on Dibond / PVC/ Foam as displayed on our website.

We can also print onto panels of furniture, create textured pictures to look like they have been oil painted - really whatever your imagination can come up with, as long as it fits on the print area and isn't overly shiny / reflective as it would damage the Ultra Violet curing head.
