UV Printing
Craft Introduction
What is UV printing?
The UV printing basic process is as follows:
- Silk screen print the card with the UV ink.
- Irradiate the card with the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV lamp until the ink gets dry.
- UV printing is completed.
There are the blind spot UV and spot UV. If the UV printed part does not overlap with the former printed content on the card, it belongs to the blind spot UV; on the contrary, if the UV printed part completely overlaps with the former printed specified content, it is called the spot UV or raised spot UV.

1. Silk screen printing – silk print the card surface with UV ink.
2. Choose the UV printing type – if you need to add UV effect to the former printed part on the card surface, you can spot UV print it with the transparent UV ink. On the contrary, if you don’t need the UV part completely overlap with the specified former printed content, the blind spot UV printing is enough, and the UV ink can be any color or transparent.
3. Dry the UV ink – Irradiate the card surface with the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV lamp until the ink on the card surface is dry.
