7 machines print on wood

Wood and MDF printing machines

Direct-to-panel printing replaces laminating and pasting. The image goes onto the board itself, which means no lifting edges and no separate print-and-mount step.

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.
