UV Printing on Wood with Rainbow Inkjet Printers

 

Wood products remain as popular as ever for decorative, promotional, and practical uses. From rustic home signs to engraved keepsake boxes to custom drum sets, wood offers unique visual and tactile appeal. UV printing unlocks a world of potential for applying customized, high-resolution graphics directly onto wood items and boards. With the right UV printer, you can take your wood crafting, manufacturing, and personalization businesses to the next level.

Rainbow Inkjet offers versatile UV flatbed printers designed for optimal printing directly on wood. Our printers allow you to decorate and customize wooden products of varying sizes and surfaces with photographic quality imagery, artistic designs, branding elements, text, and more.

UV printing on wood provides many advantages over traditional decoration techniques:

  • Speed - UV printing is significantly faster than hand painting, engraving, staining, or gluing decals. You can customize multiple items in the time it would take to decorate one by hand.
  • High resolution - Print photographic images, intricate patterns, and sharp text without any loss of quality. UV inks adhere permanently to produce crisp, detailed results.
  • Special effects - Use multidimensional UV inks to create embossed textures, simulated wood grain, glossy finishes, and other unique effects.
  • Durability - UV inks bond robustly to wooden surfaces for decorations that stand the test of time without fading, chipping, or peeling.
  • Versatility - UV printing works on all types of wood finishes and surfaces - raw, coated, laminated, stained, painted, engraved, etc.
  • Profit potential - Produce high-value customized wood products impossible with traditional methods. Unique one-off creations command premium pricing.

With UV printing, you can easily customize and profit from the booming market for distinctive wood products.

While UV printing on wood is straightforward with Rainbow Inkjet's printers and inks, following best practices helps achieve stunning results:

  • For raw wood, apply primer or sealer to prevent ink bleed into the grain.
  • Ensure adequate pinch rollers and vacuum to keep wood boards flat.
  • Select optimized print profiles for your wood type and finish.
  • Allow proper drying time between passes to prevent ink running.
  • Match the ink's flexibility and adhesion to the wood surface.
  • Check board thickness - minimize gaps between printhead and wood.
  • Use multi-layer white ink for maximum opacity on dark woods.
