5 easy ways to prep surfaces for UV printing
Make sure you prep your UV surfaces before printing.
UV printing delivers bold colors and crisp details on just about any material, but only if the surface is prepared correctly. No matter how good your design is, skipping prep steps can lead to smudging, poor adhesion, or designs that peel or flake off too soon. Fortunately, most of the fixes are simple. With a few quick tools and a little patience, you can set yourself up for clean, professional-looking results every time.
