UV & Rigid Printing
We love printing, whether it’s flex media or printing on rigid substrates, but we have to admit that flatbed printing might be our favorite.
At NVS Visuals we know that every project is unique, and because of that we carefully choose our equipment, in order to accommodate our clients from vastly different industries, both locally in New York City, as well as Nation Wide. Because of that we have traditional UV flatbed printing, as well as the new Latex flatbed printing capability. Not only do this processes result in a different printed finish, but we can direct print to mediums that many other printers would not even dream about. (Hint: thus making your project a little extra special.)
We can print on all standard medias as: Sintra, Acrylic, PVC, DiBond, Foam-boards, wood and aluminum, at photo-quality and at an unbelievable speed. What’s even better, is that we can print on materials (or objects) that are 7” thick, and on substrates that are 8’ wide. Yes, you read that right, whether it’s a foam board print, or a custom made tabletop, we can print to it directly. Both with white and clear spot UV ink.
If you want to experiment with flatbed printing for your project – we are extremely excited to work with you, but if you’re looking for straight forward, hassle free, consistent and reliable printing for standard rigid media, we’re extremely happy to become your new trusted vendor. There is no too big of a project we can tackle, and no-too crazy request we’ll hear. Contact us so that we can start working on your next print.
UV PRINTING MATERIALS
We stock all standard rigid substrates at 1/8″, 1/4″, 1/2″ and 1″ thicknesses. But if you don’t see what you want to print on, don’t worry – we can source almost anything within a day or two.
Foam
Different colors, finishes and thicknesses. We cary Gator Boards, as well as Ultra Boards.
PVC
Different colors and thicknesses. PVC sturdier than foam board, but lighter than acrylic or wood prints.
Wood
Birch is a perfect wood to print on. It's light, so that all the colors are not affected.
DiBond
DiBond is great for sturdy signs. It's very rigid, but light at the same time.
Foam
Great for complex-shaped prints. Usually CNCd after printing
Aluminum
Thin aluminum, or aluminum faced boards. Come in mirror, gold and silver faces.
Flatbed printing could not get any more customizable.
Here at NVS we take our commitment to creative approach in commercial printing very seriously. We can print very wide, on materials that usually do not pass flatbed printer’s clearance, and we can literarily dimensionally build up your creative with white or clear spot UV. We believe that there is always a multitude of approaches to any creative printing. We are experts at giving you the print options, with consideration of the project timeline, and the budget.
Outside of the ever experimenting, and creative approach, we also understand that your project needs to be done fast, and executed as described. Our flatbed printers deliver photo-quality prints, at an unbelievable speed. More importantly, we’re always color accurate and can Pantone match to your requirements.
To sum, whether your project is a simple print that you needed yesterday, or a multi layered, three dimensional creative executed on two-dimensional media – we got you.
UV Printing Services
UV printing is at the core of our flatbed capability. UV-curable inks cure instantly under ultraviolet light, bonding to virtually any rigid surface — wood, metal, acrylic, glass, foam board, PVC, aluminum composite, and specialty substrates.
Our UV flatbed printers deliver:
• Direct-to-substrate printing — no transfer paper, no lamination needed. Ink bonds directly to the material surface.
• White ink printing — print white on dark or transparent materials. Essential for backlit displays, clear acrylic signage, and dark substrates.
• Raised UV / spot gloss — dimensional texture effects that create tactile, premium finishes. We used spot gloss for the KFC Sundays exterior mural to create a 3D headline effect.
• Clearance up to 6 inches — print on thick substrates, dimensional objects, and assembled pieces that would not fit in a standard printer.
• No minimum order — one piece or a thousand. We produce everything digitally, eliminating setup costs and plate charges.
What We Print On
• Foam board and gator board — event signage, displays, point-of-purchase
• PVC / Sintra — durable signage, architectural panels, outdoor displays
• Acrylic / Plexiglass — backlit panels, retail displays, dimensional signage. See our acrylic printing page.
• Wood — natural grain printing, custom signs, furniture finishing, artistic panels. See our wood and metal printing page.
• Metal / DiBond / Aluminum — premium signage, architectural panels, and durable outdoor prints
• MDF — props, set pieces, and modular framing cladding panels
• Corrugated / cardboard — packaging, temporary displays, and sustainable signage options
• Custom substrates — if it fits under 6 inches of clearance and holds ink, we can print on it. We have printed on leather, ceramic tile, stone, and reclaimed materials.
