The UVgel Quality Advantage

Our unique ‘print-then-cure’ technology uses instant-dry gel inks, which are cured with UV LED lights. The advantage of using a gel instead of a fluid is that it allows for more ink to be deposited in fewer passes, preventing the ink from spreading uncontrollably across the medium. This results in razor-sharp prints with a wide colour gamut that are consistently repeatable over time and across different machines. The prints are odourless and exceptionally durable.

Mixed Glossy/Matte Finish in One Print

The innovative FLXfinish technology takes full advantage of UVgel capabilities with either a single-step or a two-step curing strategy. This technology allows you to produce high-value applications with a velvety matte finish for interior décor or a brilliant gloss finish for display and packaging. Additionally, it now supports mixed matte-gloss applications at no extra cost.
