How does UV printing work?

The only thing you need is a design, you can have your favourite artwork printed on your tiles or get your company branding on the walls of the office. People can make tiles look like wood, stone or marble; the possibilities are endless.
With Apache you have the flexibility to edit the designs or swap colour using our design software. The ceramic tiles are arranged on the flatbed of the printer and design is sprayed onto the tiles with precision. At Apache, we have high standards of quality control which guarantees that you will always get perfect prints every time.
The printer uses a special ink that dries up as soon as it comes in contact with UV light. This helps in improving precision of the prints as well as avoids unwanted blotting. And voila! You have customised ceramic tiles.

Benefits of Apache AP-Gen1012i UV UV printing:
Lets unravel why Apache AP-Gen1012i UV is the perfect printer for wall tiles

• UV printing with Apache AP-Gen1012i UV is much faster compared to traditional tile printing. Earlier, customisations were done using screen printing method, where a mesh transfers ink onto tiles. This process is time consuming as it takes time for the ink to dry whereas UV cured ink dries almost instantaneously, and you can get more prints made in a fixed time. The G5i 1012 printer has a large table size (where the substrate is placed to get printed) is ideal for printing large images like signage, banners, and interior decoration. The model also has 2 printheads which increases the printing speed considerable and allows colour and white printing at the same time.
• Most traditional ceramic tile printing methods have a disadvantage where only light-coloured tiles are used as design is visible only on light coloured tiles. Apache Apache AP-Gen1012i UV UV printers do not have this limitation, the designs can be printed on light as well as dark coloured tiles, giving you the freedom to choose.
• The process of UV tile printing is hassle free, there are no complex steps involved in printing tiles, all you need is a design and the tiles you want to print on. Our printers will do the rest and you don’t have to dry or treat the printed tiles. Your tiles will be ready for use immediately after printing is completed.
• Our Gen5i 1012 range UV printers incorporate 2x Ricoh Gen5i latest print heads which have high precision, they can print minute details to create a wide variety of stunning designs. They are able to print up to 1200dpi high-definition images and the print heads are compatible with various types of inks which make them suitable for all types of applications.
• Apache AP-Gen1012i UV UV printers generate high value for the money spent. Anyone can now achieve marble like flooring, designed feature walls, or beautiful kitchen splashbacks without having to spend extensively on real marble or wood. You can create your desired look for your property by printing on the ceramic tiles.
• Unlike dye sublimation which produces wastage as the dye sublimation transfer paper is later discarded, our UV printers are environment friendly with no wastage. Furthermore, our printers have been engineered to save on ink consumption with the RICOH print heads.
• Our printers are custom made in South Korea with strict quality control measures ensuring you a trouble-free printing experience. Apache AP-Gen1012i UV printers are durable and low maintenance.
