What it is

Colour printing, straight onto the object.

UV printing lays down ink in tiny droplets, like an inkjet printer, then cures it instantly under UV light. The image bonds with the surface: no sticker, no transfer, no drying time.

A layer of white ink acts as a base on dark or clear materials, so colours stay true. A gloss or matte varnish protects the print and makes chosen areas stand out.

By stacking layers, the ink builds up to 7 mm thick: raised lettering, tactile textures, material effects. A camera locates the object on the bed to place the design within ±0.2 mm.

Materials

What we print on.

Rigid objects, flat or gently curved, up to 330 × 420 mm. Smooth surfaces first get a primer so the ink bonds for good: we take care of it.

What we don't do

  • Textiles and clothing
  • Silicone and soft rubber
  • Food-contact surfaces (inside of a mug, rim of a glass)
  • Mugs, bottles and cylindrical objects: not for now

With 3D printing

Shape in 3D, colour in UV.

Our 3D printers make the part, in four colours at most. UV printing adds what they can't do: photos, gradients, fine logos, text a few millimetres high. Both machines sit in the same workshop: one contact, one order.

  1. 01

    Photo-quality colour on 3D parts

    Plate, enclosure, figurine with a flat face: we 3D-print the part, then print the design in colour on its surface.

  2. 02

    Prototypes that look finished

    Front panels, icons, labels, brand colours: your prototype looks like the product, for a pitch, a trade show or a photo shoot.

  3. 03

    Custom signage and displays

    A support designed and 3D-printed to your dimensions, with a UV-printed design: display stand, trophy, door sign, counter sign.

  4. 04

    Relief and texture

    Raised lettering, tactile textures, material effects up to 7 mm, on top of the 3D-printed volume.

Frequently asked

  • When will you be able to print?

    The first prints are planned for December 2026, when the machine is delivered. You can write to us now: we prepare the quote and the mock-up, and schedule your order as soon as we open.

  • What is UV printing?

    Inkjet printing where the ink is cured instantly by UV light. It goes straight onto the object, in colour, with a white base and varnish when needed, and can build up raised texture to 7 mm.

  • Which materials can you print on?

    Wood, acrylic, metal, glass, ceramics, rigid plastics, paper and thick card, as well as our own 3D-printed parts. No textiles, no silicone, and no food-contact surfaces.

  • How large can the object be?

    The print area is up to 330 × 420 mm. The object must be rigid with a flat or gently curved face. Send us its dimensions: we confirm feasibility with the quote.

  • Can you print on an object I provide?

    Yes, if the material is suitable. We may ask for a test piece, especially for glass, metal or smooth plastics.

  • Do you print on mugs or bottles?

    Not for now. Our machine prints on flat or gently curved surfaces; cylindrical objects need equipment we have not planned for launch.

  • Do you make stickers?

    Not yet. UV stickers, transferred onto curved or irregular objects, are among our next steps after we open in December. If you're interested, write to us: we'll let you know as soon as they are available.

  • Does the print last?

    Cured ink resists scratches and water in everyday use, and varnish adds protection. For an object left outdoors in direct sunlight for a long time, let's talk: colours can fade over the years.

  • Which file should I send?

    Ideally a vector PDF or SVG, or a high-resolution PNG at actual size. No file? A sketch or a photo is enough: we prepare the design with you.

  • How much does it cost?

    On quote. The price depends on the printed area, the layers (white, varnish, texture), the material and the quantity. From a single piece, with lower unit prices for runs.

  • How is it different from multicolour 3D printing?

    3D printing builds the volume and can combine up to four colours, layer by layer. UV printing lays an image in unlimited colours onto a surface. They work together: the part in 3D, the design in UV.
