7 machines print on acrylic
Acrylic printing machines
Acrylic is the substrate that sells UV flatbeds. It is rigid, it is often clear, and the finish customers pay for — a solid white base under colour, or a raised gloss varnish on top — is exactly what a UV machine adds and a solvent machine cannot.
The material
Why acrylic needs this machine class
Acrylic will not go through a roll machine, and ink that is not cured hard will not stay on a smooth non-porous surface. A flatbed holds the sheet flat on a vacuum bed and cures the ink as it lands, so the sheet comes off dry and stackable.

The other materials these machines take
Most buyers print two or three materials, not one. If you are weighing which class of machine to buy at all, UV, solvent or eco-solvent settles it in three questions.
