3. What can I print with a UV printer?
UV printers can print on both flat and curved surfaces, making them ideal for acrylic, glass, wood, plastic, metal, foamboard, and more. They are perfect for signage, promotional items, décor, and packaging.
4. What’s the difference between flatbed and hybrid UV printers?
Flatbed UV printers are designed for rigid materials like acrylic and wood. Hybrid UV printers can handle both rigid boards and roll-fed media, offering greater flexibility. Learn more here

5. Are UV printer inks waterproof and fade-resistant?
Yes. UV-curable inks are instantly hardened by UV light, making them waterproof, scratch-resistant, and highly fade-resistant for both indoor and outdoor use.
6. Can UV printers print on flexible as well as rigid materials?
Yes. Hybrid UV printers can handle roll-fed flexible media such as vinyl and films, while flatbeds specialize in rigid surfaces like metal, wood, and acrylic.
7. What maintenance is required for UV printers?
Regular maintenance includes nozzle checks, printhead cleaning, and wiping the capping station. We recommend light cleaning weekly and professional servicing every 6–12 months to keep your UV printer in top condition.
8. Do UV printers support white ink?
Yes. Many UV printers offer white ink, which is essential for printing on dark or transparent materials, adding base layers, and creating textured or layered effects.
9. How long do UV prints last outdoors?
UV prints are extremely durable and can last 3–5 years outdoors, depending on exposure and substrate. Lamination can further extend print life and provide added protection.
10. Are UV inks safe and eco-friendly?
Yes. Many UV inks are GREENGUARD Gold certified, with low VOC emissions. They are safe for indoor use and more environmentally friendly than solvent-based alternatives.
11. How do UV printers compare with eco-solvent printers?
UV printers cure ink instantly and can print directly onto rigid and flexible materials, making them ideal for signage and specialty applications. Eco-solvent printers are better for continuous roll media like banners, posters, and wraps, with excellent outdoor durability.
12. Can I leave a UV printer idle for long periods?
No. Leaving a UV printer unused for too long may cause nozzle clogging. If idle, perform nozzle checks regularly, and for extended shutdowns, flush the system with cleaning fluid.
13. What software is required to run a UV printer?
UV printers work with RIP (Raster Image Processor) software such as Onyx, Caldera, or FlexiSIGN. This software manages color accuracy, white ink layering, and complex print jobs with precision.
