High Quality UV Coating Printing
Since 1974, Southern California Graphics has been dedicated to high quality and reliable UV coating printing. Our experienced team has been serving the Greater Los Angeles area for all of its UV coating printing needs and more for over 40 years.
UV coating printing offers glossy, shiny coating to a range of products. Whether your creative project involves box packaging, postcards, business cards, packaging of all sizes, magazines, menus, posters, flyers, books and more. UV coating printing or “ultraviolet coating” is a very shiny coating that is applied to the surface of printed paper and then cured on a special machine using ultraviolet light. UV coating printing hardens or “cures” once it receives ultra violet radiation.
UV Coating Printing & More
UV coating printing provides a brilliant glossy sheen as well as a thick level of durability. Depending on your needs, UV coating printing can vary in reflectivity and thickness, though a high gloss or dull, subtle matte, or satin feel are typically used in premium printing applications.
Just about anything can benefit from UV coating printing. Catalog covers, flyers, business cards, postcards, sales sheets, booklets, and calendar covers do really well with UV coating printing. UV coating printing enriches your design and makes your colors more vibrant. The added durability adds return on your investment. With Southern California Graphics top-notch technology, UV coating printing can be done affordably. UV lithography uses light and chemicals to produce an image. UV lithography produces incredibly detailed patterned and images but can only be applied to flat surfaces. To produce successful UV lithography pieces requires the type of extremely clean operating conditions that Southern California Graphics maintains on a daily basis.
In addition to UV coating printing and UV Lithography, our print capabilities at Southern California Graphics include:
- Offset Lithography – Printing on almost any flat surface, using printing plates. Offset lithography offers beautiful quality with fine detail, and is one of the most widely used printing methods in the world. We also offer stochastic lithography, which spaces printing dots according to tonal value to create a high quality image.
- Digital – Printing directly from a digital file onto a surface or product. What sets Southern California Graphics digital print apart is its incredibly high quality? Digital print allows for shorter runs and complete individualization [see Variable Digital Print page].
- Material Variety – Southern California Graphics prints on paper, static cling (great for glass window signage), styrene (a flexible and durable plastic that reproduces brilliant color), and many more surfaces and substrates, including Soft Touch Aqueous Coating.
