You may have had this thought before: Is there an art print printer that can directly print your own designs or hand-drawn artwork onto all kinds of items—like wooden blocks, eco-friendly bags, or even more materials?Our UV art print printer is exactly that kind of machine.
It’s a direct inkjet printer that works together with UV light to instantly cure the ink during the printing process. Once the print is finished, you’ll have a final product with completely dry ink. Whether you’re creating personalized pieces or handling bulk production, the UV art print printer makes it easy to bring your creative ideas to life.
So, is it easy to print items using an art print printer? In short, yes—it only takes a few simple steps. Unlike screen printers, which require plate-making, or heat transfer machines, which need to transfer the design onto PET film before applying it to the object, the art print printer simplifies the process. The typical steps are: design the image → upload the image → print directly using inkjet technology. In the following video, we’ll show you the printing process using a wooden block as an example:
Step 1: Choose a wooden block of suitable size based on your needs and place it on the printer’s tray. We are using the X4060 UV art print printer, which has a maximum printable area of 40 x 60 cm. The wooden block we’re using is 30 x 40 cm, so it fits well within the printer’s capacity.
Step 2: Upload your completed design to the printer’s software on the computer and set the parameters—such as print position, ink volume, etc. These settings can be adjusted flexibly depending on your specific requirements.
Step 3: Once everything is confirmed and ready, simply click the “Print” button in the software. The printer will start printing automatically. As it prints, you’ll see the UV light operating simultaneously to cure the ink instantly.
Step 4: After the printing is complete, your beautiful artwork is now quickly and easily transferred onto the wooden surface.

Creative artwork is often spontaneous and diverse. It can range from simple line drawings to intricate, colorful patterns. Whether you create line art, illustrations, or abstract pieces, an art print printer—using direct inkjet technology combined with advanced UV curing—can perfectly reproduce your artwork with exceptional detail and vibrant colors. Here are some common types of designs:
Take children’s drawings as an example. Their artwork is often full of rich colors and playful imagination. Drawings on paper tend to fade and are difficult to preserve over time. By scanning the children’s artwork into digital files and then printing them onto materials like acrylic or wood blocks, the pieces can be preserved for a long time. Displaying them as décor in their rooms holds great sentimental value.
For digital artists such as illustrators and designers, electronic illustration files can be directly uploaded to the printing software. The art print printer can flawlessly replicate every detail and color nuance, giving physical form to digital creations.
If you are a business owner in the decorative art industry, a gallery worker, or even an admirer of famous paintings, you can print high-resolution art reproductions on canvases or acrylic sheets. These prints are perfect for decoration, collection, or appreciation purposes.
Using our UV art print printer, you can also print photographic works such as family portraits and wedding photos on a variety of materials beyond traditional photo paper. Materials like high-definition acrylic and glass add new visual texture and display options to your photos.
Artworks made from different materials often vary in thickness—for example, canvas paintings tend to be relatively thin, while wooden panels or block art pieces are usually much thicker. So, can an art print printer handle these varying thickness requirements? The answer is yes. While the supported printing thickness may differ slightly across different models of our art print printers, they are all designed with excellent compatibility to accommodate a wide range of art material thicknesses.
For instance, our smallest A4-sized model, the X2030 art print printer, supports a maximum printing thickness of up to 8 cm, can basically meet the needs of most users. For users who require a greater printing height, our larger A2-sized model, the X4060 art print printer, can handle materials up to 15 cm thick.
Our art print printer supports printing art prints in various shapes. If you don’t want your art prints to always appear in the traditional rectangular shape, then you can use this UV art print printer to create art prints in a variety of unique shapes, which not only showcase individuality and creativity, but also better suit different holiday themes and commercial purposes. By breaking free from the limitations of conventional frames, your artwork can be presented in more diverse and expressive forms.
Traditional rectangular art prints are suitable for a wide range of settings, such as home decor and office decoration. They are one of the most widely accepted and commonly used forms of art prints among consumers.
During Valentine’s Day, businesses can offer custom heart-shaped art prints for their customers, printing romantic designs or couple photos on heart-shaped acrylic or wooden panels to create unique holiday gifts.
As Children’s Day approaches, you can print art in fun shapes like moons, stars, and animals, which are perfect for decorating kids’ rooms or for use in holiday promotions. These cute shapes are eye-catching to children and help increase both the fun factor of the product and its market competitiveness.
The UV art print printer uses eco-friendly UV ink, which offers excellent adhesion and durability across a wide range of materials. It delivers high-quality printing results on common art print surfaces such as canvas, wood panels, and acrylic sheets. But if you’re looking to present your work on more creative or uniquely textured materials, the UV art print printer is up to the task. It supports printing on hard or smooth surfaces like ceramic, stainless steel, glass, leather, and stone—making it an ideal solution for personalized décor and artistic displays.
Stone is a non-absorbent material available in various types, including pebbles, granite, marble, and engineered stone. Whether the surface is rough or polished, UV ink adheres well, making it perfect for rustic-style decorations or custom souvenirs.
Compared to thin paper, wood blocks offer a natural texture and a solid, substantial feel. They make a great canvas for printing art pieces and can serve as decorative items placed in living rooms or bedrooms, adding a warm, artistic touch to the space.
Canvas is a widely recognized medium for art prints, known for its textured fabric surface that pairs beautifully with UV ink. With the advanced white ink layering technology of UV art print printers, you can even achieve 3D embossed effects that mimic traditional oil painting brush strokes—merging technology and art in a truly unique way.
Acrylic has a similar look to glass but is lighter and more durable, making it a popular material for modern decorative art. When printing on high-transparency, smooth acrylic surfaces, the UV printer captures fine details and vivid colors, faithfully reproducing the beauty of your original artwork.
The art print printer supports a variety of unique printing effects. The most basic printing effect is full-color printing, achieved by mixing CMYKW five-color UV inks. The printed images are vivid in color, have strong adhesion, and are not prone to fading. In addition to standard color printing, the art print printer also allows you to print 3D embossed effects, enhancing the sense of depth and realism in the artwork, which is especially suitable for art prints that require detailed texture or emphasized visual impact. When equipped with a dual printhead configuration, the art print printer can also produce varnish effects and metallic foil printing effects, such as gold and silver finishes, adding a premium metallic texture that significantly increases the commercial value of the artwork.
Our art print printer is an easy-to-operate and versatile printing device that can deliver high-quality prints on a wide variety of materials and products, making it suitable for artistic creation, commercial customization, and personalized product development across multiple industries. Whether you are an artist, a business owner, or a creative studio, you can quickly get started and unleash your creativity with the help of our detailed video tutorials and professional after-sales support to create truly one-of-a-kind art pieces.
