Print Directly on Acrylic, Wood, Metal, Glass, Plastic, and More
The Epson V1070 gives print shops and personalization businesses the ability to decorate a wide range of materials. This makes it a strong option for businesses that want to expand beyond sublimation, vinyl, DTF, or traditional signage.
Popular materials for UV printing include acrylic, wood, plastic, metal, glass, leather, ceramic, and coated promotional products. For best results, always test each substrate and follow Epson’s recommended usage and maintenance guidelines.
White Ink for Dark and Transparent Materials
The built-in White ink channel allows the Epson V1070 to print on dark, colored, metallic, and transparent substrates. White ink can be used as a base layer to make colors appear brighter or as a design element on its own.
This is especially useful for acrylic signs, dark promotional products, clear items, packaging samples, and premium branded merchandise.
Varnish Ink for Gloss, Matte, and Texture Effects
The Varnish ink channel allows users to create high-end decorative effects, including spot gloss, matte finishes, layered textures, and dimensional details. These effects can help increase the perceived value of custom products and create a more premium finish.
For businesses selling personalized products, varnish effects can help separate basic prints from higher-margin custom items.
