Printing on PVC foam boards requires precision to achieve sharp visuals and long-lasting results. The printing process varies based on board size, thickness, and intended use.
Printing Process
Foamex boards are typically printed using flatbed UV printers. This method allows ink to cure instantly, producing vibrant colours and strong adhesion to the board surface.
Size Considerations
Boards are available in standard sizes such as A0 to A4, as well as large-format sheets like 8×4. Larger boards may require thicker material to maintain rigidity and avoid bending.
Thickness and Print Quality
Thicker boards provide better stability during printing and installation. While thinner boards work well for indoor applications, thicker options are better for outdoor or high-traffic environments.
Quality Factors
Print quality depends on:
-
Surface smoothness
-
Ink type and curing method
-
File resolution and colour accuracy
-
Board thickness and handling
Understanding these factors helps ensure consistent, professional results.
