Direct printing technology and digital printing technology
differ in the application method of the printed image. Digital
print applies the image using advanced inkjet technology instead
of the roll coat application of direct print. The applied image is
then protected by multiple layers of UV curable coatings much
Further possibilities of adding value to the surface are
