As we all know, our UV printers can print on all flat materials and objects. But do you know how to print products with concave-convex relief 3D effects? Today, I'd like to share this technology with you!
Before starting the operation, we need to understand the principle of how UV printers create concave-convex relief 3D effects. UV inks are cured by UV lamps, drying instantly after printing. Each layer of UV ink has a certain thickness, so by printing repeatedly, the ink can be stacked up. Typically, we choose to print white ink first: repeatedly print white ink on the areas that need to be raised until the desired height is achieved. Finally, print the color ink and varnish in the last layer. This completes the relief effect. The thickness of the relief can be controlled by yourself—simply print more layers for a higher relief.
Next, let me demonstrate how to print a concave-convex relief effect:
Step 1: Import the image into PS software and create a channel for the areas where the concave-convex texture is needed.
Step 2: Place the object on the printing platform, and first print white ink to stack up the areas that need to be raised.
Final Step: After reaching the desired height, print the color ink to complete the process.
Let's take a look at the final printing effect! The colors are vibrant, the relief effect is distinct, and the three-dimensionality is remarkable!
Well, now do you understand the principle and printing process of the concave-convex relief effect? If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.
