Applications
Wood printing
UV printing lets you reproduce wood textures or apply any desired pattern to wood panels. For bespoke interior design, high-grade packaging, or industrial products such as floor coverings. Realised with swissQprint, naturally.
Typical application areas
Our customers prove it: Wood is wonderfully adaptable.
Worth knowing
Real or simulated wood
With a swissQprint flatbed printer, you can either add pep to the natural material or simulate a wood effect. The result is precise and remarkably true to the real thing, with accurate colour reproduction and surface texture patterns derived from 3D scans.
For that that alpine hut feeling at a themed event: lightweight plywood with a printed antique wood look. For a concept store: simulated wood floor texture on low-cost chipboard. For an Asian restaurant: ornamental wall art printed onto real wood panels. For a day nursery: cabinet doors with colourful animal motifs. What ideas might you have in mind?
Personalised gifts and promotions
Wooden packaging enhances the contents of a gift and beautifies the gesture. Personalisation flatters the recipient. Limited, numbered editions boost product appeal. It’s neat how direct printing on wood gives you full freedom of design.
An example
Reliable process
swissQprint flatbed printers have a strong vacuum that pulls even slightly warped boards flat. To protect the print heads – on very rough, uneven surfaces – the operator can adjust the print head clearance. If necessary, during the printing process. And if, despite all caution, a crash does occur, hardware and software help prevent serious damage and rejects.
No crushing crashes
Crash Sensor Technology prevents damage and rejects. The ‘resume printing after a crash’ function restarts printing at the exact point where it stopped – and saves the day.
Tip Switch Vacuum
The underpressure-controlled vacuum system is strong but quiet.
Certified energy efficiency
