Printing with UV-cure inks is a great solution for many printing situations. However, there are some difficult substrates, such as plastics, metals and glass, where adhesion may be poor or non-existent. Many plastics have low-energy surfaces that actually repel inks; metals may have oils in them from the manufacturing process; and glass/ceramics are just too hard and non-porous for just about anything to stick.

Advances in UV digital printing technology have opened up a world of new opportunities for shops willing to experiment with the various types of media options available to them. One of these areas includes the process of printing onto glass. In the past, imaging onto glass was mainly achieved through painting, etching and screen printing—now the same results are being attained faster and more economically using UV-cure inkjet flatbed printer technology.

Anyone who is printing onto plastic-based substrates with a UV-curing inkjet printer has encountered the problem of static buildup. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between positive and negative charges. These charges build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged.
