Digital Printed Graphic Overlay
UV Digital printed graphic overlay is an advanced process that uses UV-LED cured inks to directly print out high-precision patterns onto the surface of a substrate. It's widely used for home appliance control panels, automotive interiors, and industrial signs/nameplate, etc. It solves the problem of gradient patterns that cannot be achieved by silk screen printing in the membrane switch industry, and also solves the problem of small order quantity with multiple colors required (high costs for screen plate making).
