UV Printer Resources

The Roland VersaUV LEF-200 is a digital printer that can print onto objects that are difficult to print on with traditional inks. The printer uses inks which are applied to an object and then cured (dried) instantly by ultraviolet light. This allows you to print on a wide range of materials including metals, plastics, and glass. It can print full color images using CMYK inks and it can also print special effects using white and gloss inks.

You might want to use this printer if you want to print on a small object (less than 4” tall), want to add a glossy area to a digital print, or want to print on a transparent substrate.

Here is a document outlining how to design your file for printing on the UV Printer> UV Printer Handbook Links to an external site.
