This Dubs for You

Cornhole boards, barn wood, hand sanitizer stations, 3D effects and acrylic on glass. In this photo gallery, we highlight some recent projects that users have produced using flatbed UV printing equipment. I hope that these ideas serve as “food for thought” in developing creative applications for clients. Very often half the battle is just letting customers know what’s possible. 

Luis Vivas at Vivas Inc. in San Francisco, Calif., printed this project for Magnolia Brewing using a Roland DG LEJ-640 64-inch flatbed hybrid UV-LED printer.

AJJ Enterprises in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a cornhole board manufacturer and had been a beta site for EFI’s Pro 30f flatbed UV LED inkjet printer. With the printer, they were able to move from a less-efficient process of mounting graphics to cornhole boards to printing them directly. 

Brian Manky of Decosign in Coquitlam, British Columbia, direct-printed these rustic-looking signs on barn wood using a Roland DG LEJ-640FT UV flatbed printer. Decosign also does work for the film and television industry, as well as for general signage clientele.  

Greg Analian, at the City of Los Angeles Publishing Services, printed this hand sanitizer station (and other related materials) using a Roland DG IU-1000F UV-LED flatbed printer. 

Haas Werbetechnik took first place in swissQprint’s 2019 Creative Challenge, using a Nyala 3 flatbed to print on acrylic glass. SwissQprint’s high-precision droptix 3D effects were combined with relief printing.  

Erwin Hüttl Ges.m.b.H. took second place in the swissQprint Creative Challenge with Privathaus M, a piece of art featuring various varnish effects and seemingly random but precisely positioned splotches of printed paint, produced on a Nyala 3 printer.

I am always on the lookout for new and creative wide-format printing applications and projects. Have you worked on something unique and of which you are proud? Feel free to share them with me at [email protected].
