What learning looks like

Skills with a purpose.

Learners see how a UV printer applies ink directly onto a surface such as acrylic, wood or metal and cures it instantly with UV light. Along the way, they prepare a design file for a specific material and print area, test settings on samples, and compare a finished print against the original design.

Learning outcomes

  • Prepare a design file sized and formatted for a specific surface and print area
  • Explain how UV-cured ink layers, gloss and texture affect a finished piece
  • Test print settings on sample materials before running a final print
  • Follow safety steps when operating UV printing equipment
  • Compare a finished print's colour and finish against the original design and adjust
